    Default Building a subway?

    I stumbled on this picture from A+S Error of this fantastic subway!

    (See first pic) http://www.aserror.com/xe/s2down/13516

    I've tried to recreate the same underground subway look with no success. When I use the constrain floor cheat to sink in the foundation or walls all is well. It isn't until I turn the cheat off to make the rest of the ground normal to cover the hidden area that the sides around the the sunken area do not rise back to it's regular floor height. I've tried looking for tutorials on this will no success, just ones on underground garages.

    Thank you, but I was wondering how they created the underground subway itself. I guess I should ask them over at GOS lol! Thanks again

    It looks like those pics are made using a foundation and/or podium rather than creating floor elevations.

    I actually asked Psychosim how she made it, and she did tell me, although I've forgotten how to now. Just PM her with your questions and I'm sure she'll help you out!

    Ok!

    This is what she sent me

    "First I finish all the building, so I won't mess in that area later. Then with the cfe cheat enabled I dig a hole into the ground, a negative form of the dome. Then I go to the ceiling and make that flat again. After that the ground level gets flattened again. Now the platform is flat as it was in the beginning while the flattened ceiling became domed. Lastly I go on top and level out the street.
    you're welcome, I hope that will help you to build something nice. Smiley

    *only exception is that when the current level gets lower than 4 clicks it will began to push the level beneath down in order to maintain its minimum height. on the other side, there doesn't seem to be a maximum height for walls (the ones in the cinemas and the other houses roof are stretched).    "

    Now i'm going to have to go through this slowly myself because without visuals its gonna take me a bit lol
