I am trying and trying but I can't get a ventilation duct I have created enclosed.

The duct leaves the main compound so hangs in mid air. When it leaves the main compound and also when it enters another section of the compound you see it leave through a wall but the wall is open so you can see the air so to speak.
(see the screenshots)



I don't want you to see the air. Does anyone know how I can wall it in so you can still crawl through it?

press M for choosing wallsegment, then choose the wall that youhave in the room and point the arrow to the went duct, you will get a wall in front of it, then you choose a went duct door and paint it on the wall.
Hope you understand my "Svengelska"

Ventilation ducts are pretty weird segments in themselves,
The best way , to avoid having to leave the payer with the opportunitty to see outside the intended area, is to enclose the vents with a double layer of regualr segments.
So in other words, build a section underneath and on top of the vents and then just wall it in as in the above post, yes this is a terrible waste of engine capacity , but it works.

Hope that helps

You may need to hire a licensed HVAC installer. Check your local listing for a union shop in your area.

Sometimes after placing doors/vents, you need to replace the wall afterwards. Select the wall segment from the library on the left, then press "m" to paint wall only in the editor. The cursor will change to an arrow. Line up the cursor where you want to paint the wall and click.


Welcome to the forum.

I'm sorry, my answers are limited. You must ask the right question.
