i'll post a pic in a sec. but the base should be easy, only 4 cylinders there. however above the first two rings are a series of 80 cones, each one a different diameter from the one above and below it. because i'm going to probrably be moving them up and down as I detail the base (which i happen to be doing right now, long labourous process...). it would be alot easier if i can move them as a single group, and the move function isn't that great when i highlight the whole bunch of them, its always a bit off. here is the picture, the yellow/gold is the bottom cylinders, the pink.purple up top are the 80 "disk" cylinders that are all a different diameter from each other. picture taken as I move each cylinder up 15 meters. the green thing at the bottom is part of my eventual base: btw - the pic. is 200meters wide by 1000 tall.

another question, how do I attach two cylinders? this is my first time working with shapes rather than soley splines. while I'm at it how do i attach shapes to splines?

agreed, cone has been easiest, thanks guys! was trying to go for a curved taper, 100 meter diamerter down to a 70 meter diameter over a 485 meter stretch. Used 4 cones, each being 121.25 meters.

How does one create a tapered cylinder thats wider at the bottom than it is at the top?

I copied it to JPEG to host it. Imageshack doesn't like BMP from my compy, no matter the size. And how am I sure that I got everything down to the correct pixal widths?

what about the 5 way avienew interchange aswell as the 1 way roads merging with and coming out or an avienew on a corner (last pic) How do you create those?

yea, I was trying to create a 25 by 16 config with paint (I know I should use photoshop for this) And when I resized it so that it would fit the region, the colours must have merged. Anyways, this is what the region looks like and what the config file looks like. Could someone tell me how to do it right or be supreamely merciful and fix it themselves? Regionview: Config file (what a mess) : The region is 25 by 16 by the way.

In several regions I create for myself I've always ended up with cities completely separated by water. I've used ferries to connect them together, however many went over capacity. I've tried building highways to the edge of the map to get a bridge, but all I get is the red tile. Any suggestions?

I could do that without nam, you sure about that? Path finding is the best part of nam.

Sydney is a beautiful city, reminds me of vancouver, but 300 feet taller. Only thing I think Sydney is missing is mountains.

I'm hoping for the bright glass look. After awhile the city's just get to dark, dreary, and dirt, even if they have a top environmental rating and zero garbage.

Chairs are a tad to big. And are the raillings all the same size? compared to the railings at the very bottom and the very top the railings in the middle look like they are 3 meters tall, the others being 1 meter of course. Edit - door may be to big, I dunno if that what the real one will look like though. How big in-game will it be or are we not allowed to know yet?
