I"m trying to make the inside of a building. Try to bear with me as I've only been using Darkbasic for a few days.

You'll need to get a separate program - a 3d modeller - to make complicated 3d objects like buildings.

if you have only had it a few days i strongly recommend you dont jump in the deep end. start by making a 2d program using sprite's. then when you get to 3d stuff it is easier to get your head around.

if you want some really simple walls then use "Plains"
you can make them in DB with code like this (i'm just putting this here to be very explicit...)


you can make a plain with that and then rotate to a vertical position using...
