## Making the shell part 1: Making the building outline

The first step to making any building is building the building footprint, or what we call the outline. By making this first, we can extend these into walls and then make a roof on top.

10. Now do this with all the points so that you have a full shape. To get rid of the selection box do `//desel`. Note: You might ask "Why is my building not straight? Can i rotate it to make it easier to build?". No. Most buildings are not on a straight north-south rotation, in additon to the BTE map having a weird rotation some places. This means that we have to build them diagonally, but don't worry, it's not as hard as you think. [Here is an interesting video from PippenFTS about the problem](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5o8Psc6FvZ4&pp=ygUYYnVpbGQgc3RyYWlnaHQgcGlwcGVuZnRz)

11. If your building is on varying terrain, you should place blocks under the outline so that it goes all the way to the ground. You can do this manually or with commands. To do this with world edit, make a selection surrounding the whole building, then expand it so that it reaches the top of the outline with `//expand (amount of blocks) up`. Now create a mask which makes it so commands only affect air blocks with `//gmask air`. Now do the command `//replace <(block of choice) (block of choice)` until the outline has reached the bottom.
