Subject: Re: designing on paper

 

" I have paper designs for 10 so far "

you
design them on paper first?! wow! :)

i used to do
that but generally don't bother for the rooms now.
instead i make a plan on paper of how the rooms will
connect, what room number they are, and the rough idea of
the rooms (sewers, mineshaft, etc) and the
topography. this really helps when i go to actually design
the rooms because i know what section it is supposed
to be, or if it is a link section, or whatever, and
it stops those horrible continuity errors like the
ones in willy to the rescue (just look at that map! :)
