    i dont like using bridges because i dont know how to merge them into the wall so i use double boxes. i have a double box standing straight up and i want to interlock it with an angled one but i cant get the angle right is there a certain way to do it? when i try to merge something angled it pops out when it has something against everyside can i fix that or do i have to merge it before i add another object to its side. also im having trouble lining things up perfectly so far i've just been using the lines on the floor in foundry but is there a better way or do i just pay better attention when im doing that

    Firstly, geomerging bridges is done exactly the same as with double boxes. Brace them on all sides, push doors into them (the lazy way of doing it), then grab and release. Repeat until merge is acceptable or perfect, your choice.

    Secondly, there's not a lot you can do other than using the lines. Though if I need two single boxes next to each other for example at an odd angle, not properly vertical/horizontal with the lines, I just place a double box at the desired angle, then press the two singles against it. This method works for most things.

    Good luck, and happy forging!

    I'm sorry but your question made almost no sense.

    I think I get what he's trying to say... If i'm correct, he wants to interlock an object at an angle... and maintain that angle after it is interlocked.

    The best way to do this is to make the object you are interlocking into.. disappear for 180 seconds. Start a new round.. create the new object, and pick the angle you want. if you are using braces, simply place the double box on the braces. If you are eyeballing it, then save changes, end the game.. and then start it up again. In either case, the objects should be interlocked.. and you should have maintained your angle. Hope this helps.
