By default, the top of your screen is north when using T to center/zoom your view over the current selection. It is possible to override this with a special NorthMarker object found under the statics heading.
With the new Hall section selected, press "Ctrl-D" to duplicate it. This makes an exact clone of the selected object(s). You may not realize at first that you've created a new object(s) because of overlap. However; if you look in the Object List, you will notice two "VHallSm1WayR01" hallway pieces. Select and Drag the newly made hallway piece just to the left of the current piece. Make sure you have "Snap to Grid" on, which will ensure a precise tile. Check against the second image below to see how the snapped pieces should look.
Im having problem with the second paragraph, I copied the VHallSm1WayR01 (which is a Vault hallway) and it overlapped like it said.. but when I try to move it with the middle mouse button so I can connect them and make a hallway it drags BOTH of the "VHallSm1WayR01"'s. Basically the tutorial said its going to overlap when you copy the other peice of the hallway but to just select it and drag it over to connect them, but instead of dragging just one its dragging them both. Im sorry for being a pain but I figured alot of you guys had experience with this.
