Ever build a level facing the wrong way?

Nope, I plan the orientation first before building, it is useful to place a few guide blocks before building the level

 

Yes...and everytime it happens i want to slap myself for messing up...

At first i thought it had to do with the positions of B and/or the winbox...

 

This happened a lot to me on my early levels, but fortunately it wasn't too bad, only rotated to one side but still looking different than I had imagined it originally. It happened a lot when I was creating something first but was not satisfied, rebuilt and got lost during the rebuild so maybe I had planned on B looking to the right and he showed looking to the left. I've learned to plan ahead since then.

 

I made a level that looked just like the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and only after I had completed did I realize it was facing exactly the opposite direction I wanted it to, so you can't tell at all from the thumbnail what it is supposed to be. Oh well, the level wasn't fun to play anyway lol.

 

Still aren't there few ways that you can change the starting viewpoint through editing of the thumbnail. I did face such kind of problem but was lucky to find one of the moderators here who helped me out in changing the viewpoint through some editing software of his.

 

There is in fact a simple way to tell the default camera angle if you pay attention to the dashboard icons. By default the staircase always faces the bottom left corner and it rotates together with the island, so you can easily tell the default angle by looking at the block icons

 

@cpw Nice tip!

@Rohit That is true, but those tools haven't existed for very long.

 

Yes, I even heard that it took a lot of hard work to make the software. The things that the moderators do for this forum is really awesome and appreciable.

 

Well said!
