I’m moving this over from the “Greenburg” thread since it is dealing with building ideas, etc.

I’ve done this before where I wanted to elevate a building built on a baseplate so that baseplate would be 1 plate/tile above the road (thus forming a curb). I used to have a fair number of these supports but took them apart awhile back. The only problem using this technique to elevate the modular buildings is that you can see the edge of the green baseplate. We could maybe solve that problem by constructing a separate curb. Hard to explain without a picture. Let me see if I can put together a quick study and post some pictures.
OK, I expanded my study to incorporate in a modular building into the MILS standar. Here are some pictures demonstrating this. Anything built on a baseplate (like the modular buildings) can be supported by two rows of supports – an outer row 32×32 and an inner row. This raises the baseplate on which the modular building is built to one plate/tile under the “surface”. Thus the baseplate is completely hidden and the sidewalk tiles on the modular building match up with the MILS level sidewalk tiles.
