Finding Ways Around Warping

Robert Bowdidge discovered a cool way to make model train buildings!

I wondered if I could break up the long side pieces so that the top layer couldn’t pull across the piece to cause the warp. Back in SketchUp, I made the piece twice as deep, and cut some wedges out of the thickened back side perpendicular to the warping.
