Hi monbron, I find first person better than third when it comes to hotspots. No, Holmes doesn't say anything. After you've placed the first plank and climbed out, there will be a huge gap ahead of you if you haven't slid the correct door across. If you're sure you've moved the right door, move your cursor around the area slowly to find the hotspot for the next plank -- it might be at your feet, or further ahead on top of the next door edge.

MaG's walkthrough has a screenshot of the finished layout, if you need a quick visual nudge without specific directions.
Good luck and let us know if you still have problems!

Ah Ha, I was doing it right but I could only get to lay the planks in 1st person, however I have now finished the game - Excellant and it seemed a lot longer than the others. I forgot to say that I found I could move between different views i.e. 1st and 3rd etc., by clicking my mouse wheel.

Glad you found what the problem was, and that you finished (and enjoyed!) the game. Yes, it's the longest game of the series without a doubt.

First person: Directly playing the character, looking through their eyes, unable to see them onscreen except for cut scenes. Third person with keyboard/mouse: An over-the-shoulder perspective, seeing your character from the back, controlling with keyboard/mouse. Third person point & click: Seeing your character anywhere on screen, moving him around by point & click.

Thanks so much Rushes. Second one is with the keyboard and mouse but the wasd keys won't work. The other views work. Richard

Only just spotted your edit, Richard. If the WASD keys don't work, the arrow keys should. (I never bother with WASD, I'm an arrow fan. ) It's also possible to edit controls from main menu.
