        Yes perfect for presentation β˜€ but not for fabrication πŸ˜‰

        Who would ever want to make fabrication information this way !
        It's only a 'model' !
        If you made it out of cardboard and balsa-wood you'd not make it exactly as it'll be made when full-size...
        If I were to make fabrication info using only SUp I'd detail typical elements and intersections separately, not in the overall model - that's only there to show us what it will look like, not how to build it !

          Of course yes β˜€
          But as computer permit to make any precise structures, if it's not a painful work this can be made in one time πŸ˜‰
          Who can make more can make less πŸ˜„

            Yes looks simple for the architect or modeler but would be a hand full for the steel detailer and fabricator.

              Hello! I am also working on this kind of project. The thing is its a pretty big file ones you made the space frame by the lines2tube script. But if that's only way better stick to it!

              My problem is, is there a way that i can reduce the file size so its would be easier to work on the whole project? Maybe reducing the poly lines or anything?

              Any help is appreciated! TIA!!

                    Hi Pilou. Do you know where you got this image? I'm working on a project which will use a similar construction, and would love to get some details of the Great Court!

                    Thanks!

                              It's definitely gallery stuff - and not only the desig, the modelling excellence but even the presented style!

                              Congrats!
