building your house in UED

[Snark]

i have been trying to map my house with the blue prints and and had some problems with measurments.
i used the 16 units = 1 feet.
One problem is that while most door ways are about 31-32 inches = 42 units, you need a minimum of a 48 units to pass.
I had to upscale all other mesurements accordingly to retain symmetry.

Another inetresting thing is that when i view the model from behind it looked like some dwarf in the house. i know that player height is 96v units, and the doors are only 110 units.

if anybody else tried doing this. i'd like to know how you you handled this.

i also built my house, but i didn't go for presicion.

256 units tall looks nice in first person but huge on 3rd person

128 looks somewhat small, but looks right on 3rd person.

I'm actually planning to use UEd for my architecutre classes. I think it's waay easier then 3d Studios. The thing to remember is that UEd isn't autocad. You aren't going to use it to draw up plans, instead only to get a cool looking 3d Model. Keeping that in mind I don't see any harm in fudging mesaurments. 6 units is not going to make much difference to the overall look and feel of a space.

BTW Ued has another thing that's nice, you be able to walk true/around your building!!!!

great fun, and maybe it'l turn out to be a great map also:)

I think I'm going to make my house in ued after I finish the map I'm working on now... has anybody actually finished their house?

[Snark]

you are right about not sticking with precise mesures. the final outcome is non worse for that.
the model looks very nice and gives the feel of the house. i am now making brushes for furnitures to see how things will fit in there.

the strange thing is to go outside. i made the house stand in a huge grass field with clear sky. the alien settings are strange.

off course after i finishing it i immidiatly loaded three bots to fight :)

yeah, I wouldn't worry about exact measurments too much either... just so long as things are roughly in proportion
