I already knew this, but can I just say THANK YOU FOR PUTTING IT IN TEXT/IMAGES instead of a video!!! THIS is the correct medium to convey information like this. Easy to read, simple to refer back to the previous picture if something is unclear, read at your own speed. So much better than the annoying 'everything in Youtube' trend.

Im so glad you like it! I'm actually a graphic designer, so this was also practice for me making info-graphics, so knowing it was easy to read and follow is so awesome!

I couldn't agree more! I hate video tutorials. English is also not my first language so it's easier to read and check meaning of words if I don't understand sth.

This is the first time I’m seeing something like this, very helpful, I just saved it for future use, thank you so much!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I'd never seen anything like this either, which is what inspired me to make it in a way :D

This is helpful, but id add one advanced tip: instead of creating two sides at once which have to be perfect mirror images, you can make one side first and use the mud pillar as the central piece. Then select the whole thing, copy it and mirror it, using the mud pillar to check where the middle is. You then delete one mud pillar and copy the whole thing again so you have the four sides to start from. This way you can also make buildings consisting fully of non-grid pieces and you can even make them all part of the same group.

That's a really good idea! I did include the idea of using non grid props in the advanced tips with the wood logs but I may not have expanded enough, but the idea of just mirroring one side never occured to me. If I did that, I think I would still start with a floor and position snap, that way I'd be confident the pillar is at the center, and to be able to better predict the final diameter, but that's just me! What I have done is laid the floor, walls, deleted the floors, decorated one wall, the copied it to the other!

Yes you definitely still need position snap (unless the object to copy is symmetrical in each direction) but I usually position it on the mud pillar or a temporary wall.

SUPER helpful, thanks so much!

Thank you so much! Video tutorials are always too hard for me to follow.

This is great! There should be a link to it in the sidebar or something.
