    How in gods name can you make the buildings intersect with the ground? :confused:

    Also, post other helpful hints for horrible Gmod newbies such as myself here.

    I haven't had much luck with them but the best way I've found is to either

    a: when they're on the ground, use the physgun and rotate them so a little bit is in the ground. This will then allow you to push more of it under ground.

    b: spawn the building under the map and raise it to the height you want above ground.

    ---

    weapon "blobs"

    select colour and change alpha to 0. Click on the blobs and they'll disappear.

    ---

    If you have an idea for a pic in mind, don't spend obscene amounts of time getting a pose just right. All you need to do is make the poses look right from the angle you're taking the screenshot in

    ---

    When posing, remember to push the hips in line with the chest so the model's arse isn't sticking out.

    ---

    Use no collide when constructing vehicles

    ---

    Turn graphics up high and make sure dont_buff_my_pylon is set to 0 when taking screenshots. After all, you don't need great fps for gmod.

    My buildings never show up when I spawn them underground.

    Try aiming at the bottom of the map, which is invisible. I know on emp_money in Gmod, if you noclip a little ways underneath the ground, then turn off noclip, you'll fall until you hit another "ground". Try aiming at that and spawning some stuff.

    I tried spawning the buildings underground, but they just won't go up with the Physgun. It's just so stubborn :(

    I think there's a way to increase the strength of the physgun using console commands.

    Have you tried using a Noclip gun on them first? Not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try.

    I'll see if I can, but I don't think it'll work though.

    What the hell is a noclip gun :| (I know what noclip is, but I haven't seen the gun around)
    All I know of is the nocollide gun.

    I'm guessing that's what he means and it doesn't work on terrain.
