question about prefabs?

can you build a whole building all finished and save it as a prefab?

yes.
whatever bunch-o-shit you can select together you can export to prefab

I have a good sytem, but also have the same trouble moving large prefabs.
What i do is, make a base for the building on the map where its final position is going to be. Then save that as a prefab. Load it back into radiant build the house, re save it as a prefabs then load the finished prefab back in to my map and voila.... its in the right position , no moving required

Yea I do the same thing.
map out the area, transfer over just the area. then build my structure.
then once finished i can transfer it back and everything fits without moving it.
if the area is differant.
I select the prefab.
goto open the map and it will copy.
once map opens. give it a few seconds. let memory catch up. or it will crash on you.
set the prefab as structural. SAVE map
then i will select the prefab and move it from there.. so if it crashes. aleast the prefab has already be transfered.
