Constructing a Windmill

1. Insert any color brick. This will be the base of the windmill. Shape it to the length you want.

2. Insert a second brick of a different color. Size it the height of the windmill, and put it at the back of the base.

3. Copy this brick, and paste it onto the left and right sides of the base. Do not put it on the front.

4. Next, make a brick for the door. Size it to the height you want. Go to Properties, un-check CanCollide, and set the transparency however you like.

5. Fill in the two spaces beside the door with the same color bricks as the rest of the mill walls. Put in another and stretch it to the top of the mill. Cap it off with a roof, group it, and anchor it.

6. Put in one more brick the same color as the walls. Make it a 2x2 brick and center it near the top of the mill. Set the visible front surface as motor. Anchor it.

7. Make a square brick that is not the same color as the rest of the mill. Give it a Fair Size, but still square, and set the side surfaces to weld. Put bricks on these welds and size them how you like. Group them, but do -not- anchor it.

8. Line up the center of the newly grouped piece with the motor brick. Select the motor brick and go to properties. Somewhere a piece will say left or right tread. Change that to constant. Above that there should be a number different than the rest of the tread sets. The higher it is, the faster the mill will spin. I suggest a value of "5".

9. Do whatever you want with the rest. For example, add stairs on the inside, a flag to the top, decals, textures, etc.
