Not being in a career that has anything to do with construction I had always wondered how these cranes got up there:

Cool. I've wondered that, too. I also wonder how they get them down when the tower goes up inside the building.

You probably could do that with sketchy physics but i imagine it would take quite a long time. i think its more likely it was done in something like 3ds max.

Thanks for the links Martin

There are a lot of other simulations...MALAISE

Thankyou!
Those cranes has always troubled me - how they are erected. -
