    What angle do you want to Geo Merge?

    If you have some pics I could help you out.

    okay, This is what I do.

    First-Take a double box and then put the object it at the angle you want it.

    Second-Delete the double box.

    Third-Put teleporters all around the object to brace it and have it in one spot.

    Fourth-Put doors on the side of the object facing straight away.

    Fifth-Hold the object for 2 seconds and then let go.

    Sixth-Keep doing the fourth and fifth step until you have it where you want.

    There is my tutorial.

    The way I usually do this is like so:

    First I place the object at the exact angle I want. I'll usually float it just a tiny bit to get it just perfect, but if you can get it in the ground and at the right angle, thats even better. Then, I surround it with immovable object. Since we're on an angle, I find bridges really useful for keeping everything in place. Surround on all sides except the side your going to be interlocking into, and the opposite side (for example, if you were interlocking into the floor, leave out braces on the bottom and top). Set everything to Spawn at Start: No, Respawn Time: 180. Next, start new round and look for the blue dot. Place walls on top as low as you want to go. Remember, the lower you try to get it in the harder it gets. So, lets say you have a box that you want 3 walls deep into the ground. Place 3 walls on top of each other on the dot, then place a double box. Delete the walls and force your braces and objects to spawn. Here I'll usually Save as New so if I screw up I can go back to it. You'll need to press A on the object you want to geomerge, and without letting go, save and quit. Sometimes it can take a little practice to get the knack of when to save and all that, but overall its fairly simple.

    :)

    After the new round, there isnt any objects there except, as I said, the little blue dot. Place the walls on top of the dot. The idea is that the Double Box will push the other object as low as you want, it works in the same way as a door, except its more accurate because it has more surface area.

    Yeah. Same thing for everything. The double box that pushes the other object down stays at a flat angle still, don't angle that too or it'll screw up.

    instead of trying to push an object in diagonaly, set it up in hte position, so thatwhen you push it downwards, it will be where you anw it instead of trying to merge diagoanly
    if that makes sense- it does to me
