    To get a wall at the same height as a block, stack things like this:

    Double Wall <--- Keep this wall.
    Double Wall
    Stone Column Stone Column
    Block, Huge____________________________________

    Geomerge a tube just like you would any other object on Sandbox.

    First way and make sure they are facing with the larger side up.

    I've found that this is somewhat inconsistent. The teleporter method is really good
    ___ <- wall
    XX <- teleporter
    [ ] <- block huge/block tall

    Thanks all I will Try both of these methods
    And i just have to say Forgehub is the best site for forging tips, i posted this thread, left the room for a minute, came back, refreshed the window, and there was already a tip.
    Thanks again

    I personally don't use that method, I just save & quit / mancannon float walls at the height of a box.
    He asked for the stacking way so...

    Well technically both of ours are stacking methods. I usedthe method you described to build my map since I didn't gltch in any teleporters and it just felt like to me the use of 2 double walls caused more z shifting but it might be paranoia

    if you are not connection host, meaning you join a friends game, which you can arrange, you can double tap A on the bottom of the tube and it will slightly geo-merge, no ramps needed.

    The simplest way to do it is a block tall underneath 4 walls. The fifth wall is the one to keep.

    Since a block has the same dimensions as 10 walls. A tall block has the height of 5. You just stack 5 more walls.

    Just be sure you use the non-tattoo side of the double block or else the double block will be taller.

    I've also had concerns that the Z-shifting on double walls was exagerated when you stacked them, but that might just be idle paranoia.
