    First off, I'm an experienced forger, and I know geomerges in general, I'm looking for specific advice on this scenario.

    Basically, I'm starting my first budget-glitched, planned-out, only-the-square-of-Foundry, map. I have the blueprints planned for sketchup.

    In this picture, I have a flat double box, a doublebox which is one box length higher, and a slanted doublebox intersecting them both. All three of these pieces are geomerged. How do you think I should go about getting the perfect angle AND then geomerging it straight?

    Right now, I'm thinking of placing down the two horizontal boxes there they need to be, without them being geomerged, placing the slanted one, then geomerging all three at a time. It's just very difficult getting the measures right. Thoughts on how to complete this?

    I will be creating a tutorial now (like now....) on how to geomerge using a different method, I believe found out by MetallicSnake, not sure though....probably MS and blood together (lolz)

    It should show you how to geomerge it sideways, effectively, straight, and first or second try with adjustment from doors, in less than 20-30 minutes.
    Its pretty sexy....lol

    I'll show you in person, and then while you go off to forge, I'll make the video from what I have shown you?

    I can't get on right away, because this is my brother's time to play (CoD4 nub), but I'll be on in a bit.

    Get the orientation of the box first. Don't expect you will just get lucky and it falls into the right place.

    If it is ever so slightly out, you can use receiver nodes to tweak the position of the box to your liking.
