    great tips

    so if I want to make a hil to build on... and the walk out basment is on the levl of the street... I build the hill 9 clicks high? then ad my foundation?

    Yes, I think that's right, if you're using a regular height foundation at the other side.


    thanks

    Hi GC -- wow! Another great tutorial. And I have just the house I want to use it on. A replica on my own! The roofline is complicated and this may just be the fix I need to make it look like home.

    I love your tutorials!

    Hmm, it should be nine clicks. You have to be very gentle when you click.

    Could you show me a picture of what you have? :)

    I hope it becomes great.. the new mansion stair (L shaped) are comming in 2 days... I'm going to use that as kitchen stair to the old basment kitchen, and likely other places.

    this is spose to be an old mansion sitting on the banks of the lake in HS remodel so it got an moderen kitchen on the groundfloor (where the use to be a room to wait for the dinning room to be opened.
    then I put the jamstation and other rustick kitchen apliances in the old kitchen downstairs....

    Great Tutes GC! I have bookmarked this page.

    I CFE'd an L shaped stair case last night (before I saw your post) for a loft. I do wish I would have rethought my placement, but I didn't want it against the wall, but I wish I would have had the top stairs run perpendicular to the length of my house and the bottom running parallel. But, eh. They look good, so why mess with it. LOL


    This made me giggle. :lol:

    It should now look something like this.

    I levelled the level above to fix that weird wall. I also realised I deleted the wall by the landing by mistake at some point so I've replaced that.

    Oh my goodness, Sherry, I'm laughing so hard right now! It's one of those laughing fits that comes in waves, and you think it's over but then it's not. You must have been SO confused when you started reading that post :lol:

    Hello GC, thanks for the tutorial!! It is amazing :)

    I had tried split leveling before but never used it to create L shaped stairs.. :)

    I am a bit confused about at what level we used the walls around red area? When you reach the top floor or around the where the first part of stairs ? :oops: :oops:

    Hope it is not too stupid question >.<

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by this :oops:

    When you reach the top floor or around the where the first part of stairs ? :oops: :oops:

    The upper part of the stairs begins where the yellow tiles do.

    Sorry about my bad english :oops: :oops: :oops: ow embrassing!

    What i tried to say is: are "the walls(like many small boxes) around red area" only at the floor we see below(upper floor) or do we also have this many boxy walls at below level too(the floor where the first part of of stairs(blue area) ?

    Is it more clear now or did i messed it up more? :oops: :oops: I am thinking too complex sometimes,and lost in my mind! >.<

    Yes, I understand now! I'm sorry that I didn't before.

    Yes, the walls are on both floors :mrgreen:

    Yes, those are great uses for them :)

    Here's how I eventually decorated the downstairs of the house I created for the tutorial. I've used the dead space to place bookshelves, nectar racks, and a decorative bathroom closet.

    I haven't ever tried placing those kind of objects where the floor (as opposed to the ceiling) is slanted, but you could definitely try it :)

    GC I think I will use the EA stairs for now.... but I think it be worth a try in the slandered floor rooms...

    that build looks so cosy.


    edit: I started my build thread
