If you mean putting textures on doorways between rooms, it is really simple.
1) Make the door of course.
2) In the room grid (top left corner) select the door. Just click on the black area of the door until it is outlined in green.
3) Click the Toggle Opacity 2 button (if you want to be able to walk thru the door).
4) Select the texture you want on the door, turn on Face Edit, Double Sided, and Transparent.
5)Apply the texture to the door.I don't know what you mean by putting blocks on top of one another. Please explain.

i meant like connected the rooms sorry...im having trouble creating my doors..either the doors arent big enough and it leaves a wide open space and you can see in the other room or i cant quite fit them right. the manual explains how to do it but it hasnt worked for me. i wish it would be a lil more clear and it was just a lil easier to place doors..is it really that hard? help me plz------------------

You do know about turning on the 2D view, right? This lets you move rooms next to each other. You also move them above and below each other IF THEY ARE AT DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS.Doors between rooms beside each other:
1) The rooms must be touching each other, but not overlapping, in the 2D view.
2) Some part of the 2 rooms must be at the same elevation. See the Floor and Ceiling values below the large view window.
3) Pick where you want the door. You have to use the gray squares. These are "pretend" squares between the rooms. Doors between rooms above/below each other:
1) The ceiling of the bottom room must be the same elevation as the floor of the top room.
2) At least one block in each room must be lined up.
3) However big you want the door, use the right mouse button to drag a red rectangle around the blocks.
4) If it says it can't connect the door, the ceiling/floor are not at the same elevation, or the selected blocks go outside the walls of one of the rooms. Hope that helps. If you need more info, or have more questions, just ask.
