<DIV>Something "outside the box" from someone "outside the box."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>An example:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Say you have a 4 story building. Create it in the DD Wizard. Say the walls have a 30° tilt (from vertical) and the actual wall is 12' in height along the wall face. That would mean the indent of the wall is 1/2 the wall length, or 6' (hope I can convey the math correctly - it's 11:15 PM at night). Create each floor with dimensions that shrinks each floor dimension by this much on each floor edge.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then go to the Detailed Edit mode and put in a tilt of 60° (vertical wall is 90°).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I believe this will work.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lisa, I will try to creat an example and send it to you.</DIV>
