Oh, and if you'll post a pic of your white floor I'll add it to the last step.

I decided I won't continue publishing each friday a ible, but now if i publish a ible it'll rather be friday than a other day. Oh, and i just forgot to publish this one, i had it already since a week.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Planning

CIMG2553.JPG
Planning is important, so you plan where the lift(s) is/are so that you know where the floor is most down, you also need to plan where you put support towers unless you don't want to have to take the floor apart several of times, like I had to did on Dystopia :D

Make the Lifts

Now you'll need to make the lifts, don't add the entrance track as you'll have to make your own, or you could also leave the entrance track and then switch from the white floor to that track. I'd prefer first one as it is looking IMO better.

Make the Stuff Under the Floor

Now, if you want to have anything under the floor, it is a good idea to add it.
Things under the floor could e.g. be track.
It is also a good idea to already add support towers.

Now Make the Entrance Track

Now it's time to make the entrance!
Make sure that the floor is where the ball enters the lowest.

Supporting the Floor Somewhat

These are just some supports for the floor.

Some More Supporting

Make sure that the floor is just supported from underneath with Y-connectors clipped to the white rods, that way the ball can roll smooth on top of it.
Note that if the floor is steeper it will work better, but if it is not so steep it will look cooler as the ball will roll longer on it.

Making Borders

Now you need to make borders that the ball won't roll off the sides.

Some Extra Features
