Adding custom buildings useing arma editor

[[FP]Shadow]

I have been working on custom buildings useing the arma editor for 1.7.7.1 Dayz

When i add the buildings in the editor they look great but when i save it and still looks good and then place them into the servers database the walls or other items are not leveling themselves out with the terrain leaving them floating at one side

Is there a way to eleviate this?

sqm or sqf should be more accurate. I've traveled down that same dark road, editor could be better.

How exactly do you use a sqf? I took the mission.sqf i got from the editing i did in the editor and named it to something noticeable, placed a exe line in the init.sqf but it does not show in the map

I have no experience creating anything using sqf, done some stuff in mission.sqm but mostly I'm a DB whore. But I can point you in the right direction.

Via sqf:

Via mission.sqm:
You can always add stuff via mission file. Try these out for size...

Best thing you can do if you run into a situation like this is to scour these threads:

You'll probably run into a bunch of other interesting stuffs.

.sqf is by FAR the best method.
