    Excellent work!

    I'm sure i read about this a while ago ... and i have to say i was totally skeptical about the whole thing. But i have been proven wrong, bravo :)

    well put
    the idea behind it is great

    Personally, I don't like it. You can't use all the objects on H3 Forge, no merging tools.
    Hopfully, someone might make a V2 with these features.

    You can merge by adding an object on to of the one you want to merge it with. I'm also planning on making a new version with more items.

    i think there shoulb be a level funtion like 1 1/2 or 1 3/4 as somtimes you need to use those to make crouch-only areas.

    Good idea, I'll probably add it to the next version.

    You can take a screenshot to show your maps. There's instructions in Foundry Designer if you press the print button.

    Cool! But, as some have said, a little hard to use.

    *Sorry for the self-advertisment, but it is related* One problem with this is that it is 2D. It makes it just an overhead, which is very hard to work out... I mean, it works for floor plans, but you still can't really see all that well. *Self-Advertisment* Some of you may have heard of Foundry 3D, but if not, it is a project I (and a few others) are working on. It is like this, but 3D...

    But still, very good work! I think I will sumbit this to Bungie News, see if they use it.

    It can be a little hard to use and I'm working on ways to improve that for my next update.

    I've heard of Foundry 3D and it sounds like it'll be really good when it's done. I don't think it'll replace this though as Foundry designer's for pre planning and Foundry 3D sounds like it'll be for advanced planning.

    I've also updated this and made a site for it: http://www.freewebs.com/foundrydesigner/

    thats pretty awesome, I've added to favs.
    One thing that I'd like is to be able to free rotate the other way. eg: Having a bridge upright.

    Free-rotating in that direction would be too complicated and confusing in a 2D floor plan. The walls can be added lying down but that's all. I might add a way to place objects upright in a future version.

    I'm going to add some more scenery objects and then I'll add a way to plan weapon, equipment and spawn points.

    This is a awesome tool to use, but it needs more items.
