Hello, are there any advanced forgers out there who could tell me how to make the shield doors (large or small) horizontal. Iv'e seen it done on the millenium falcon's hanger doors but cant for the life of me figure out how to do it. No clues in forge 101 doh! cheers guys

no way that easy??!! thanks for the uncannily fast response. is there a search engine for the forums because i cant seem to find one?
You may have already known this, but one really useful application of placing shield doors horizontally is to make a bouncing surface for vehicles and soccer balls. It works with manned and unmanned vehicles and is a lot of fun to play around with in forge. I call it the Popcorn Effect . I made this map to show some ways you can use shield doors by placing them horizontally and in other positions. There's also some other stuff on it that is helpful to know in forge... (I'm probably not allowed to do this, but I'll fix it later )
Additionally, it may be useful to know that shield doors like to adhere to surfaces. Have a 45 degree angled ramp? It wont be vertical, it will go to the 45 degree angle if it sits on the ramp. You can delete the ramp and it will stay at the 45 degrees. But whats cool is that if you drop it on its side, it will auto-correct itself and stand upright. Same with on its side (of a wall) or on top of something.
