kellee: ok sarah would you like to come over here?
"Sarah": ok
kellee: can you see the red brick arch?
"Sarah": yeah
kellee: ok right click on it:)
"Sarah": ok
kellee: and you will get an object properties box see it?
"Sarah": yep
kellee: once you have that box........give one tap of your insert key ( on the keyboard, above your arrow keys)
"Sarah": ok
kellee: then using your bottom arrow key give it many taps ( at least thirty) to bring it all the way over here
kellee: bring it a little further out you'll need room to work:))
kellee: and you cant encroach on the walkway you'll get an error message
"Sarah": ok
kellee: now to change it.........right click
"Sarah": ok
kellee: and backspace the object name( see the name of the arch in the object line?)
kellee: and then type in walk001.rwx
kellee: close box( little x in the corner of the box)
kellee: ok lets make a wall or two?
"Sarah": sure
kellee: right click on the walk ( floor)
kellee: and press INSERT once
kellee: did you notice a little jump as you pressed insert ( duplicated)?
"Sarah": ok
"Sarah": yep
kellee: thats what i call the dupe jump lol and it happens every time you duplicate
"Sarah": lol
kellee: so to compensate and to help you avoid overlaps its a good idea to get into the habit of pressing your bottom arrow key once after you duplicate
"Sarah": ok
kellee: so that's INSERT.....bottom arrow key......then backspace object name .... type in pp01m.rwx
kellee: close box
kellee: see how it( the new wall ) is positioned in the middle?
"Sarah": yeah
kellee: thats because you pulled it back into the middle when you pressed the bottom arrow key if you hadn't it would be offset making the lining up of your wall more difficult
"Sarah": ohhhhhh...............
kellee: now it will be easy to just right click again and use your arrow keys to move it eight back :)
kellee: now for the next wall
kellee: right click again insert once bottom arrow once......page up SIX times
kellee: and the eight across and eight back
kellee: then click the box closed
kellee: perfect!!!
"Sarah": WOW!
kellee: now you can repeat that step twice more?
"Sarah": yep
kellee: and when you have the fourth wall in place we can change it into a doorway
kellee: great!! now right click on the side where you want your door to be
"Sarah": ok
kellee: and ( no insert this time) just backspace the ob name and type in pd01.rwx
kellee: close box
kellee: that's it!!
"Sarah": : )
kellee: as you can see it don't fit!! lol so lets move it ( no insert yet) over four taps of side arrow key
kellee: once you have it in the corner snugly press insert
kellee: then bottom arrow key once
