Darb Dabney's 3d GIS – OpenSim

I’ve sketched out some starter six-car trains, begun a platform, and put a few prims in place for the station’s mezzanine level, above the platform and about two floors below street level. I found that I could use the aerial orthoimage as a guide, but certain variables make it a guess to dimension objects below ground like a) depth below ground of the mezzanine, b) actual angle and length of the stairs and escalators, and c) actual dimensions and alignment of the island platform relative to the rotunda.

The past couple of weeks have seen the growth of some large adjacent building, new advertising prong, and the departure of another. I’ve been flamed in a forum here regarding some oversize prims on which I’ve plotted site plans and a globe. All in all, I hope that the underground construction work on the BART station is not too disturbing to neighbors. All the same, there seem to be remarkable parallels with the sorts of disruption that RL underground construction often provides: unsightly mess at the excavation site, and lengthy delays in the construction!
