So I tried it again and I forgot one thing that sets the build better. Use Stable pillars to offset the red just slight enough and it works great with the wood in the nemedian set. This was something I whipped up in admin mode on my console tonight. I’ll get around to the yamatai/stormglass probably tomorrow for show and tell.
More: Although I don’t remember the door frames being on top of the pillars…perhaps its in the order of when you place them. My original manor had the khitan and then I though of adding the pillars and this one I put the pillars up first.
