You can start dropping objects in now if you like, but why not make your life a little easier for later? Open up the ''BravilFightersGuildBasement01'' '''reference box''', and look at the x, y and z co-ordinates. They are pretty random. Lets set this to 0,0,0. Note that you may need to press '''C''' to re-centre the room in the [[Render Window]] after making this change. | You can start dropping objects in now if you like, but why not make your life a little easier for later?
