I’m not sure that’s necessary or even possible. First it would require me to figure out what angles I already have, I don’t know this, nor did I think it was important. Second then I would feel constrained to build more just to achieve this goal, because I don’t have enough built yet to get anywhere close to that. Plus there are always going to be little alleys here and there. Without those, where would people get mugged? In the middle of the street? Pah!

   I may look to making sure some of my buildings have flat faces, or maybe even build one or two small (low) flat sided buildings. If you put a low flat against a higher one with roof overhang it should still allow you to nestle them right up against each other.

Yes, I’d thought about that the overhang being higher is ok, but I haven’t figured out what height is going to be average yet. Still when setting up a display, on can always play around with the placement of buildings until they work together.
