Level Design How to fill in gaps between doors and make material align

[Wicked7000]

Hi all,
I was wondering how you go about creating cutouts in walls for a door or a window so that the wall textures still continue to align, I have an auto door prefab I've created but it doesn't align with the walls and if I scale the walls the materials will scale down with it. (Examples below)

Try not to scale the modular kit along 1 axis if you dont entirely know what you're doing, additionally scaling things like that have unwarranted behaviours like stretched lightmaps and splatmaps and being harder to align up with other meshes. If you do need to scale things from the modular kit, try to do it proportionately.

Theres 2 things you can do however:
1. Create a custom mesh using blender and import it into the game but I assume this may be a little too far ahead for you so
2. Create a new MIC and change the texture scale along x proportional to the scale you did to shorten the mesh.

Or alternatively place down some other meshes, like columns, pillars, trims, etc. to hide unwanted elements. It not only is an easy solution, it also adds complexity and extra detail to your scene, making it look better. Study the official maps, they do it all the time there.
