    I would say that i am a good forger. and i know almost all there is to it. but there is just one thing i dont know how to do. and i feel like a noob. but i still dont know how to put walls half way into to ground. i know how to geo-merge and interlock and all that, but i have tried a lot of things like trying to geo merge the wall but it doesn't work. i would appreciate all info. i would like to do it on my new map. if you would like to show me first hand i culd get on later. my gamer-tag is Qman102. my hard drive is broken so im borrowing a friends. thanks to all who will help.

    I'm 90% sure on Foundry all you have to do is use the side of the door.

    Walls are hard to geomerge.
    At least Corner Walls are, I've had a lot of issues trying to geomerge one. (Succeeded though!)

    I used
    1) A lot of guides
    2) Doors
    3) Interlocking a different object (double box) at the height you want the to be geomerged object to be.*

    *why? Just the doors made the Corner Wall not geomerge but interlock with the guides. Annoying!

    Here are my tips:

    1. Brace It

    For Boxes, it easy to brace. All you have to do is throw down some teles by it. It is is different for walls. The best way I have found is to lay down the teles so the bottoms are against all sides of the wall. Sometimes, it can be easier to use walls as braces, but it is less accurate.

    For deep merges, brace it underneath.

    2. Geo-Merge Efficiently

    I would not use the door method here, but you can. Save and Quit the door longways across the shortest part of the wall. It should create a + shape. Make sure the door is not tilting.

    Use mancannons to push it STRAIGHT down.
