[QUOTE="O-Castitatis-Lilium, post: 9285153, member: 7044618"] I want to thank you all for your help and I wish I had of had time sooner to thank you all, but I barely had time to add the likes. Thank you for the precise math and, surprisingly not making it too complicated. I got the gist of it and I will have to still figure out how it works for my brain, but none the less thank you. I also get close enough is good enough, and I do like to use that on some maps if I absolutely have no choice. I do like to be as accurate as possible, especially with how big my table usually is; there's always one of my family that takes a look at it and regards it lol. It's an on-running joke and it makes map making fun for me. As for this: Yes, this is the map that I'm using. I did manage to find one online that can be zoomed in and used to help draw it, I think my plan here is to draw all the easier more direct rooms first, leave the room in the section for the diagonal rooms so that I can play around with the size and make it look decent if I have to just eyeball them. Also the diagonal drawing, I didn't know there was more than one way to draw lines diagonally on a grid, that might be what's happening and why it seems misaligned on the grid in the book; it's probably not it's just me not knowing there was more than picture 4 to drawing the lines. I will keep this in mind from now on when I see something that seems misaligned. I will make comparisons lol. [/QUOTE]
