How do you make the bases

The only thing I found that is stackable is the safe, but for some things it's a bit too tall. Is there a way to elevate the floor stacking tool without stacking it on a safe?

You can also use the Accent Lamp or various desks as elevation tools for the floor tile. And as for the safes, the floor tile doesn't have to placed on top. You can move the floor tile to various heights within the safe as well, just as you would while using the Accent Lamp. With the desks though, the floor tile can only be placed directly on top.

Note though that the floor tile will always click to specific points when you move it up and down the lamp or safe. It doesn't always align to exact height you may want, such as if you're trying to use the floor tile to allow you to place room detail items on the lower shelf of the Mission-Style Counter from the Cabinet section.

EDIT: You may want to have a look at the sticky thread on stacking as well.

There is also the 'cubicle' that you can use to stack Wall items away from the wall. Not sure if this is in room details or other furniture. It is there somewhere.

Just discovered the stacking from the ceiling thing is called the Hanging Lamp.

Try and stick the Floor Tile to the side of the Safe.

You'll be surprised at the result.

If you are trying to work on a large raised platform, get one Floor Plate the height you want it, then stack other Floor Plates on it, spreading them out to cover the area you want to floor. It don't matter that they may be overlapping the area you want floored or each other. They will be deleted anyways. It give you a very large and very easy surface to stack on, and all you have to do is get the first one the right height, and slide the others out from there.


Saves alot of headaches with the safes, lamps etc.

Edited: (For Grammar, and to Add)

The Floor Plate being a Stacking surface is the largest in the Editor. Use it to set others for big projects. Makes life alot simpler.

go to YouTube and look for Stackers lessons, he does a fantastic job of showing off the basics of stacking.

There is also the harder trick to make objects sit an angle.
You need to use Cubicle first and then place Cable Bundles and when you place another Item between them, you can but the item at a tilt. I think it only works with wall items(which could be a door) but I'm not sure.

This is a good idea.

If the Cubicle isn't feasible due to its size, you can also use Shoji (sp?) Wall Lamps built out from the wall to the point you want something angled, then place your door item or whatever it is you want placed at an angle to the wall.
