| Aug 20, 2015 at 17:05 | comment | added | DoubleDouble | @HDE226868 I personally think if the simplest answer doesn't work then it is impossible. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 16:57 | comment | added | HDE 226868♦ | @DoubleDouble That would make the problem impossible - after all, all the surfaces have to intersect for rooms to be connected. It does depend on the definition of "surface", though - perhaps a slight curve and rounded, smooth edge could get out of that. Hold on; edit coming. With another picture. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 16:56 | comment | added | DoubleDouble | Don't forget that this is a 3 dimensional problem. Where the floor meets the wall is a "line where two planes or surfaces intersect" | |

Fixed capitalization error.

| Aug 20, 2015 at 16:03 | comment | added | HDE 226868♦ | @chaslyfromUK I intended for it to be open space, and all the black bits are open. You could save more space by curving the edges and eliminating any pseudo-corners, though, thereby also gaining more space by using the extra areas as irregular rooms. | |
| Aug 20, 2015 at 16:01 | comment | added | chasly - supports Monica | The problem is that where the hallway meets the room on the outside looks to me like a corner! Is it all solid material between the open spaces? If so there will be a lot of material used to fill the gaps between rooms. | |
