Strange shaped Rooms
Newbie Map Designer!
I've been trying to discover how to make strange-shaped rooms. I watched one of the live stream videos where a TEMP layer is used, and then you define a new drawing tool and trace around it. I use F6 when I intersect a new identity.
However, I've been encountering a frustrating issue. When I finish, I often end up with extra lines! Sometimes, they extend horizontally, and other times, diagonally. I've attached an image as an example! Does anyone know why?
I want to create new shapes like the one in the image, so if there is an easier way, please let me know.

Hi Inwils,
You're on the right track. The reason you get those weird lines is due to overlapping nodes I believe. The easiest way around this (using your example post above) is to select a drawing tool and pick a starting point on any of the green lines (using the 'On' command) but NOT a corner, then hit T for trace and select a starting point for the trace on the same line but further away in the direction you want to trace. When you come to the intersection of 2 objects end the trace at the interestion, then start the trace again on the same point but pick a starting point for the trace further away on the 2nd line. That works for me 99.9% of the time.
BTW: It's Jim (damonjynx) from the Mythras forums here, welcome aboard!
That's brilliant, thank you - it worked
And thanks for the welcome! Hoping to use this for Mythras, Destined and M-Space 😁
You're welcome. Just don't try to muscle in on my commission work for TDM. I'd hate to have to hunt you down and kill you😉
