    No problem. Just remember to save it as a template, or you'll be deleting the objects every time ;)

    Have you got Sketchup? Your computer won't recognise a .skp unless you download Google Sketchup

    Thanks To MickRaider!

    Your parts are awesome! (Sketchup parts I mean- not, like... anyway). I made a really bad Falcon stand in, and would like to share it

    Thank you! This has been so helpful! So far I've made like five maps with it, It's a great way put my ideas into actual plans, and work out the details. Thank you!

    Really nice, but Sketchup's being a pain in the ass for me. I haven't used it in a while.

    Mick, any estimate on when we can expect a post-release update with finalized sizes and all missing objects?

    Once I release a couple in progress maps I should have more time to devote to this.

    1. Copy+Paste desired item
    2. Use the move tool to move into position, and use the little +'s to rotate
    3. ??????
    4. Profit!

    :O

    You are my hero. Until now I'd just been using 2m x 2m x 0 platforms.

    Edited by merge:


    You can use +/- to rotate? Until now I'd just been using the hotkey Q and scrambling around with that pathetic rotation tool.

    Wow Kudos to you for doing all that modeling.
    As an aspiring level designer, who spends most of his time in Sketch-up, 3dsMax, Maya, Hammer, and Geck editors. I'm sure you are aware of how helpful to me you have been in planning my future forge endeavors. I'm very glad I decided to join this community and I hope to be as helpful to the community in time as you have been.

    They should just make a FORGE for the computer! It would make my isolated jobs in the True White North that much better. We can't bring TVs with us, so I'm stuck with only a laptop.

    This is great for planning purposes, but you still have to take the time to design it in game when you get back to that old xbox!
