.40d, winxp, multiple systems.

I was making a platform. So I built a walls into a 5x5 square. and ramps leading up to the top. When I try to build a floor over the entire area enclosed by the walls I built below, It won't let me and complains that it's blocked...

However if I build part of the floor in one build order and the rest of the floor with the next, it's fine.  Easily worked arround but probably not normal. Hope the diagrams make it easy to observe/replicate.

Code: [Select]

W = Wall
w = Wall Below
R = Ramp
F = Floor

Z Level X

WWWWW
W   W
W   W
W   W

RRRRR

Z Level X +1
If I attempt to do this in one step it won't let me because the area is "blocked"

However If I do this it works

I do not need to wait for the first floor section to finish.

You're trying to build floors over your ramps? Ramps are constructions, aren't they?

They're constructions ON THE LEVEL BELOW.

A side view would look like this

Code: [Select]

F = Floor, R = Ramp, Wall
Z + 1   FFFFF
Z      RWWWWW

In anycase the floor is only over the walls  and the space between

I haven't built any floors with the resizable square thingy so I could be way off - but perhaps the problem is that the squares in the middle aren't connected to anything (hanging in mid-air, as they are) and therefor the entire thing fails?

After all, from how I understand it the uhkm thingies only facilitate a bunch of construction orders at once - and they're built individually and can be cancelled individually - so you don't actually order the construction of a square as a whole. So the floor pieces in the middle cannot be built, and therefore the whole square can't be built.

Does that seem sensible? I dunno if it's actually correct, but it makes sense to me...

Wasn't there a bug report earlier about something like this? The report said that if he designated the entire space minus one row, it worked, but adding that row made it not work, if I recall correctly.
