Editing (section) Decorating Houses 0 You are not logged in. ===The House Layout Editor=== In addition to the internal decorating systems in EQ2, a player (and decorator) named JesDyr, developed a third-party program that makes it possible to do almost anything you can dream with a house and furniture. The program is known as the Layout Editor. The program uses an interface similar to Microsoft Excel; it gives the decorator using it the freedom to adjust the placement of furniture using very specific coordinates: the North/South, East/West, Up/Down locations of furniture. Though it is not officially endorsed by [[SOE]] it is widely used and/or accepted as a powerful means of creating amazing designs, with some houses created using it winning awards and appearing on the Housing Leaderboard as developer picks. The Layout Editor has risen in popularity since its introduction and information on using it can now be found in the Official Everquest 2 forums in the Norrathian Homeshow section of the EQ2 official forums. Look for the "stickies" near the top of the forum with Layout Editor in the name. The Layout Editor allows you to decorate with extreme precision; players can move furniture by decimals in the layout editor interface. It also allows players to move things in ways that are extremely difficult or not possible otherwise.<br> '''Some of the most exciting things the Layout Editor can be used to do include:''' *Flipping furniture on its side. *Turning furniture completely upside down. *Turning furniture so that it sits an angle, like 45 degrees. *Placing one item inside of another--which is not always possible with the in-game decorating features. *Scaling (resize) items in decimal increments. You can watch a video of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqdKjy10toM JesDyr using the Layout Editor] and you will also find tutorials on his channel. An entire collection of both written and video tutorials can teach you to do several amazing things using the editor. See the list (and thank Jazabelle) in [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/how-to-layout-editor-in-bite-sized-tutorials.157/ this post on the Official forums]. The Layout Editor may sound complicated to use at first, but with a little practice you will begin to surprise yourself before you know it.
