Some Sketchup models

hello
sorry, but i don't speak english, here is a picture of my roman fort
-
This is fascinating! this is an insight into Roman urbanism I've not seen. Where were the forts generally located relative to Roman cities?

Well, mostly along the frontiers (at least these "late Roman" forts).
Karlheinz (the original poster of this topic) is from Germany - say the ancient "Germania (or neighbouring) Province" and myself from "Pannonia Province" - both highly militarised frontier zones of the Roman Empire.

Hi Gabor,
nice model, continue with your work.

Thanks Gábor for (finally) sharing these here, in the gallery, too.
For others' information, this is an extremely detailed model - there are even furniture and weaponry "ready to use" inside the barracks. Gábor is mainly developing it for educational purposes as in July we are going to a "Roman re-enactment camp" (to an ancient site of a Roman fort actually) for kids where they are going to be able to walk about in the model "real time" like in a FPS game and different "tasks" will be hidden inside.

Wow! How does that work when the kids can walk around in the model? Is there a website you can point me to that explains?

There are a couple of programs you can turn your SU model into something like that. Walkabout 3D or Simmetry 3D for instance but there are even ones that will make a flash website if you wish.

Hi Gabor,
how many time did you spent on this model?. Which documents were at your disposal (Plans, Drawings, Images)?
