I can think of 2 options. 1. make a room and delete the floor, then remove the room and build the rest. 2. I remember a trick where you put down staircases to the floor below. In this case 4 steps width, then you put a foundation on top of the ground in front of the staircases, then remove the stairs and the hole stays put. Then you can remove your foundation.

I found them quite laggy, apart from the fact that you cannot demolish them again if you want to change anything.

Really? I mostly used them as deco floors and mechanical penthouses, countered no lag.

I was able to delete the extra level using the sledgehammer.

Nope, just the awful basegame mansard roofs no one uses.

Place one on the top floor large enough for the flat portion to appear, and then you'll be able to place a frieze where you couldn't before.

As friezes are still technically walls, you now have an extra 'floor' to CFE with- it's mostly useful for decorative elements, or as a roof penthouse.

It's mainly for decorative/CFE use, and useful for really complex buildings (i.e. palaces).

I certainly don't remember that being a limitation. And I'd have to look for the BG mansard roof - I don't use roofs much but when I do, it's one of the generic slopular boxular rectangular ones.

It was very, very complicated.

Do you have a link to the video? Could be fun to try for my world.
