Yeah I know but I'd like it to stay, if you look at it from the game its a grouping of them behind the walls.

I'm going to totally change the layout of it but I need to know how I can make it a good floor instead of ground, only way I've used before is make the model of a pier big enough so you can't see its lights and thats wooden floors, but I can't find any floor models... except bamboo on hive.

OHASDFKSJKA, you know what, I never look at skins because i'm not fully sure on how to apply skins. But i just looked at them and thats where all the wooden floor terrain tiles are... except I have to look up how to apply them...

The inn is inside a Dwarven town\village, I suppose? Add beer on the tables and near the bartender, make some wooden flooring, get some decoration like plants, make some lamps of sorts up the roof(with a light source), replace a few of the "Adventurers" with a few mountain kings or riflemen, add some barrels(of beer) around, add more tables with chairs.

Yeah I just downloaded "The Ultimate Terraining Map" so i'll have a lot of models to work with, I'll lay out the inn differently this time with a lot more props. Thanks for saying something on inn...

UTM has a ton of models, but also takes up a ton of space. Don't forget to go back and delete every model you don't need when your done

The categories make it easier to figure out what you need (tree = tree of course, things like Ruins = stuff you would put in ruins). Its actually quite useful.

To make doodads float, select it. Hold Control then hold Page Up to move it up and Page Down to move it down. If you move it again (doesnt count for rotation) it returns to normal height. Its height stays independent of the terrains height so you can raise and lower it under it.
