Thread: Help with item placement

I just recently got a house, and have been trying to get some good decorations going.


Can anyone here help me with any more advanced commands to move items other than the radial menu, and/or offer any tips on getting items into tricky locations or to be spaced evenly etc..


I have a large Naboo house, and have seen I can drop whilst on the stairs for 'floating' items, but that is about as far as I have figured - can you get items submerged by dropping on the way to the basement and moving into the main room, or drop in one room and move part way through the wall to shoe on the other side? (I'm guessing not for the last 2..)



Any advice welcomed..

You can use type commands rather than using the radial menu. They are a lot more accurate.


All commands are used when you have the item you want moved hi-lighted.



/move forward/back #ofspaces


/move forward 20



/rotate right/left #degrees


/rotate right 20



As for placing things on the stairs I have yet to do it but using the above commands will greatly aid you in placing something exactly where you want it and alleviate a hell of a lot of frustration.

I'm not sure about anyone else but those slash commands do not work for me. the correct commands (for me at least) are:


/movefurniture <forward/back> <1-50>


/rotatefurniture <right/left> <1-180>


I'd suggest just making a toolbar full of these macros...after 10 mins of typing these things over and over again you'll wish you had. !/mo just doesn't cut it here.


I have a toolbar with the move forward/back commands in increments of 1,3,5,10 and 50; the rotate left/right at 1,5,15, 45 and 90. With these I can decorate an entire large house in about a half an hour.
