Dungeon menu: Corridor $image\corridor.gif$

The CORRIDOR command allows you to add networks of corridors to your dungeons and floorplans. They can be linked to existing rooms and corridors. Corridors cannot connect to themselves – you’ll need to restart and draw a separate corridor for t-junctions, crossroads, etc. Walls are placed on the the WALLS sheet, floors on the FLOORS sheet.

To add a corridor to your dungeon:

1 If you want a wall, select the Include Wall check box, type in a wall width and select a color

2 Decide whether you want a foreground, a background or both in the Draw Mode area.

3 Choose a style for the floor foreground and background by pulling down the list.

4 Choose a color for the floor foreground and background by clicking on the color indicator and choosing a color. If you choose certain symbol fill styles, the color will not affect the appearance of the floor. Choose a color 31 symbol fill style (e.g. Paving 31 Symbol) if you want the color to affect the corridor appearance.

5 Type in a corridor width.

6 Select OK.

The prompt reads "Corridor start point: (B – connect to wall, C – connect no break)"

7 Press C if you want your corridor to start on an existing room or corridor without breaking a wall. Press B if you want to start on an existing room or corridor, breaking a gap in the wall . If so, you will see a cursor connecting to the edge of the nearest wall. Move it round until you have chosen a starting position for your corridor, click.

The prompt reads "Corridor end point (CTRL – End width, SHIFT – Move handle, B – connect to wall, C – connect no break):"

8 At this point you can

· Click to choose to choose the next point on the corridor.

· Press "C" and select a room or corridor edge to connect the corridor to that edge and end the command
