I can't find anywhere in the rules that expressly talks about this - the logic goes that a thin illusion - for example a door fits easily into a 5' cube as long as that cube has been turned on its point. If the cube MUST be flat on the ground - very few of the imaginative / fun uses of the spell that we see in threads pan out.
Can anyone point me to some RAW or official comment that clarifies this?
Nothing in the spell specifies the orientation of the illusion, or the cube it must be able to fit within. Therefore if you wanted to make an illusion of a 8.6 foot long stick orientated vertically, you could do so because a stick of that length fits within a 5 foot cube (diagonally through the center)
Hi,

Thanks in advance.
