yeah that helped alot... totally forgot about google earth.. *adding to research bucket*Originally posted by kian.tern
Another thing you can try. Maybe the lower building you built isn't the correct size or shape. You can use google earth to get a top view reference.
Hope it helps.
thx Im closer now
