Average dimensions objects

Post by renzkorrelsvenz »

Hello mappers,

I'm a mapping beginner and I have a question: what is the average height and width of doors and what is the average height of rooms? (walls)

I hope you can help me.

used to make the initial brush for my doors 112uX64u then hollow out at grid 4 (making the actual door 108uX52u) but now i've gone to 108uX64u.

rooms i start from the exterior at 160-176u which allows for the room and ''crawl space/buffer'' to the second floor . the rooms in stalingrad are at 208u height.

might want to take a look around google for the ' q3cal.exe ' it's a converter for measurements in quake (ie. x feet = x quake units)

Doors......... 128 tall........72 wide

Rooms..... walls 168 or taller .... depending ... have to allow for floor and ceilng... and wether you have more than one story.

These seem to make things look "right" for me. Good luck.

it's not really the door. a 112X64u brush hollowed at grid 4 gives me the frame, floor transition and door. basically i just have to get rid of the extra ''door'' . so in the image below, the left brush becomes the right door and frame.

works the same way for windows, only set the grid for 2 in most cases. also framed non door doorways (ie. hallway transitions) can be set at grid 8 (for beams) .
