I am obviously doing something wrong, and I have no idea what.
This tutorial, by the way, is nice and easy, and everything works great ... until I want to insert the wall for the garage door. For some reason, I keep getting a message about not being able to cover floor tiles, just like the message you get when you try leveling outside a foundation and you find out that you put floor tiles in the foundation area by mistake. I can put a wall OUTSIDE that row of squares I'm suppose to leave, but not by the foundation as in the tutorial pictures. Putting the wall outside leaves a gap, and I can't fill that in no matter what I do. In fact, I can't even put a wall next to the foundation as pictured in the earlier steps, but I can work around that easily. I just cannot connect the wall to the foundation.
I don't have any floor tiles in the foundation.
I tried putting the wall with the FloorElevation cheat on AND off.
I tried "move_objects on" (Hey, when you're been trying for an hour, you try almost anything!)
I made sure the ground inside the foundation was flat, thinking that the ground curving inside it might be causing the problem. I even tried widening the garage.
I make sure I always have the row of tiles left entirely in the front of the garage, and that I don't elevate them by mistake when I elevate the driveway.
I've tried Googling.
I make sure that the basement foundation above is level.
I'm stumped. This seems to be a relatively easy tutorial .... what stupid thing am I possibly doing wrong?
P.S. At any rate, thank you for providing premade garages. I downloaded the largest one, and am enjoying your effort even as I'm writing this. I gather that a few of us wound up clueless despite your patient efforts. Thank you again!
