[Windows] Slab Orientation

by dangrega33 » Post

Hey everybody,

I recently downloaded this app that gives you layer by layer instructions to build mansions and was going through one for fun, but it has slab either on the ground or in the air (top half of the node). When placing the slab, I can't get any other orientation other than on the ground (bottom half of the node). If anybody has any suggestions or if this is even possible to do, I would appreciate the feedback.

Hi dangrega33, it's always nice to see new users, I hope you have a fun time here.

To place a slab in different positions you have to place it then find and select the screwdriver. Then you have to right click the slab (with the screwdriver.) until it goes into the desired position.

Also you asked this question in the wrong board or sub forum or whatever it's called, this sub forum is for posting stuff related to Minetest software builds, not actual building inside the Minetest as it seems you thought. Read this wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_build if you are still confused between software building and building in Minetest, as I'm not very good at explaining things.

Don't worry about your mistake though, everyone makes one.

Thanks guys, I guess I should actually do some reading XD I'm an engineer, so I'm not good at following instructions haha.

Another way to make slabs use the top part of a node is to place them from underneath. Place some cheap node such as dirt above the desired Position and then go underneath and aim placing the slab at it's underside so it clings to the ceiling. Now you can clean your building helper nodes of dirt way.

And if you want to place several nodes with the same orientation (i.e. a row of nodes clinging to the ceiling), my replacer mod might prove very helpful.
A list of my mods can be found here.
