Cohzaku Original Poster Lab Assistant Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 62	sorry if this is the wrong place. Has anyone else been having a problem with halfwalls when connected to normal walls? a very obvious gap between the half-wall and the normal wall. It's driving me nuts! Has anyone released a fix for this that I can't find, or am I the only one having this problem?

Also holding alt or shit or ctrl makes it so that you can place things at 1/2 the grid steps which would then leave a gap

Try to make a L-shape with one part half-wall and the other a normal wall. Or two half walls.

I've tried that, but it doesn't work in some of my houses. XD

I'll try what post number one said, and I'll pray it works.

lol.

As for your problem, I don't know. My half walls are working fine. Maybe it's just your graphics settings?

They make skippy fences and even though I do not have the Mansion and Stuff pack I managed to make a credible gate with a wall, a door and the brick type edgeing on top of the wall. I miss the security gates though, they looked cool. I wish we could combine the edging with the half wall. The wrought iron ones would look nice.

I know they have spindles but not full height spindles! As for the not connecting issue, I have problems with it too, especially once wallpaper is on, there is an obvious color difference with the same exact paper!
