A shade smaller is not better, but much easier
When actually taking measurements with a foot-denominated wheel and transcribing to about 1/3 scale, it became clear earlier this week that what we really want to build at (to save L$ in purchased land and $ in tier fees) is to build at 1:3.048 scale, because that way our field notes taken in feet can be translated directly to decimeters. Practical value from experience.
Also, following directions found on forums.secondlife.com, I was able to get the last 16 m2 plot of formerly abandoned land sold to me by a Linden. That leaves only a 32 m2 peninsula of an advertiser’s plot that I hope to work out a deal for. The goal is most worthy: to build the Jupiter beer garden in glorious 1/3.048 scale…
I joined the three SLGIS parcels together tonight as well, to simplify the settings for permissions after getting a complaint of exclusion. Also, I improved the music (on-parcel streaming audio) to motivate me as I build. The mezzanine’s scaled openings to the platform are now in place, although textures are placeholders. Also, my 60 cm-tall avatar can walk around on the platform and also under the trusses of the mezzanine without getting stuck. This has been a worry!
