Im having trouble with how I can make my Castle walls Diagonal. If people could tell me how to do this that would be great.

There are several ways to do this. An easy one is to make a normal straight wall. Next put a bunch of tiles on the base where the wall will go. Leave only a couple studs uncovered (raising them to make level with the tiles) in a diagnal line. Attach the wall to the studs, and it is diagnal.

That is probably one of the only ways to do this anyway.

Keldric's got it nailed. I was wondering myself a while ago, but like Lego in general the key is to just experiment and see what you get.

I built a diagonal wall for the first time in one of my recent projects. It turned out alright, but like lots of things it's definitely something i'll return to develop further in the future. Beyond the diagonals the hardest thing I found was to get all the sides linking together.

Hinges my friend.

1x4 hinges allow you to place a wall at virtually any angle. Tiles can cover the area where you've placed your angled wall, but the real meat of it is in the hinges themselves.

Now go experiment.

Thank you everyone, I've everything but never to use tiles. And I was going to try hinges to.
