Does any body have any tricks on how to make a horizontal wall, line up the topside of a box?

the only way i've found is to put a dumpster normally on the ground, then flip another dumpster on it's front side then stack it on top of the first dumpster. then walls will line up perfectly (if you can balance it perfectly) with a box.

is there a better way?

What I do is put a double box next to the double box I want to line it up with, and put a double box on top of it. Delete the bottom box, spawn a double wall and line it up to where I want it and push it into the corner so that it is flat against the bottom of the floating double box and the side of the placed double box. Start > Save Changes > End Game. Then go back in and delete the floating box... It works for me. Especially on higher locations.

Thats basically what I do. For me its a lot of trial and error, what fits and what doesn't. I don't know of the top of my head if theres an easier way because most of my floors are higher than 1 box.

Ok since I've decided to start spilling every little trick I know from now on when I see a topic asking a question I will give an answer as best as my personal preferance and/or knowledge.
My experience with walls to regular box on floor equal height is this :

1.Place 3 or 4 dumpsters close to each other on their sides to get the extended vertically.
2. Place 1 fence wall on those.
3.Place several window panels on top of the fence wall.
4. Place another fence wall on those window panels.
5. Set wall into place. This method has given me 99% strafe effectiveness.
Again this is what works for me.

Floor glitch another box next to the one that will stay, then put the wall on top of the box that's a little bit into the floor. Any fine adjustments past that can be made with stacked pallets.

I think the easiest is to stack walls or double walls up and then place fence walls on top of them to get the exact height. I don't know if that makes any sense but if you would like me to show you or something my GT is Just as Mad.I'm a pretty good forger but it takes me a long time to complete a map because I am kinda sorta a perfectionist(when it affects gameplay). I also am in the middle of an Ivory Tower type map. As soon as I get that done I am posting it on here because that was one of my favorite maps and I think it will be a really good map.
