What would be a good way of building this structure?

[Battlefield 1943]

Hey guys, I haven't been on here in ages but I've been a longtime member of the community and try my best to contribute (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=236614.0)

So I'd appreciate any type of tips today on how to construct this house's layout in Blockland, because it isn't a perfect rectangle and I think it could cause problems.



Any help would really be appreciated. This build is one I've been wanting to do for almost 2 years, but I never worked up the courage to do it, because it's something really close to me. So thanks!

Wedges. It would not be perfect, but it should do it.

its tough because its not even a 45degree turn.

Yeah, it's giving me hell

Where did you find that it looks like my girlfriends house lol.

I would just go with wedges unless you REALLY want it perfectly accurate.

Looks to me like the only thing you can do is stagger the bricks in the angled section to create the illusion of an angle.  The hardest part to build will be the roof, you'll have to use plates and stagger the bricks similarly

You should not go with wedges that would screw up all other essentials that you probably will have on the exterior (windows).


Ok, if you break down this build into segments you can clearly see that it is in fact two rectangles only touching by one corner with a filler part (blue).

Let's say that the pink square is the straight one the green has to be the tilted one. This calculating may be abit off but the rounded area I've painted is p much 135degreee which makes the tilt of the green square, if you have the pink square as the refer point, 45degree.

If you were to use only bricks to create this angled square you would then use 1x1 in a stair pattern. Basically a square diamond. Then you would just fill in the the blue segment.

I can't assure that this build will ever look good tho. Angled residences is immensely tricky. A commercial building would been something completely else.



Or maybe you should go with wedges.. idk.

That's a good point. Putting wedges would mean no windows!

Doing it in any way would mean no windows.

No, I can imagine window wedges. Can't be that hard, if you try.
