Need Help With Friezes
« on: July 18, 2013, 12:21:07 AM »
Hi everyone. I've been doing searches and reading guides about different techniques on building friezes, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm trying to build walls to cover the edges of the friezes, but I want the walls to stay the same original height. Like having a room where half the room is another level (the friezes), while the whole room has the normal wall height. To add that, I'm trying to do this on second floor, so I'll have to use friezes and not foundations.

Is there any way I could do this or is it impossible?

Please tell if my point is not explained well enough so I might add in an image as reference. Thanks in advance!

*I am a little bit new on building intermediate things like this, so guiding pictures would really be a great help. :D

I'm sorry, but your explanation of what you are trying to do doesn't quite make sense, but maybe that is just me. Maybe you could explain it a little further.

Normally, you cannot build a wall next to a frieze.  They function like a foundation that way.  So if you want a frieze height floor and a normal height floor on the same level, it gets a little complicated and you should research the cheat ConstrainFloorElevation.

Sorry its probably my explanation. Here is a picture of a room i am trying to copy. You can see that then bed is on another level, which is supposedly the friezes. You can see that the walls on the lower level and the upper level has the same height. If you type in constrainfloorelevation false and join the wall and friezes together, the wall connected to the frieze would become slanted. Is there a way i can connect the wall and the frieze to be the same height? So the wall on the lower level would be the same original height, but the wall on the frieze's height would be shorter, but with the height of the frieze, they would add up to the original wall height.

Get it? Hahaha i'm quite bad at explaining this

@Dellena yes, that's what i'm trying to do but i do not know how. It gets quite confusing with the constrainfloorelevation so that's why i need some help hehe
