I've been trying to figure out how to place unfinished buildings in my maps, but I can't find anywhere that tells me how.

Stuff like this http://img438.imageshack.us/img438/7752/controltowerpf6.png
and this http://img414.imageshack.us/img414/8793/armourybuildingne9.png

Any help is appreciated as always.

Disabled Sprites of Terran buildings usually make them half-built, any other race it isn't possible. Note that some of them have weird things like flashing lights, and the missle turret is half-built but has a turret on top.

Remember, you are able to walk through them. That is one factor you must account.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically
