Thanks all for the comments.
Frenchy, I agree the original roller coaster version was just too small.
Here's a link to the PDF a book.

Really fantastic worth — in both conception and presentation. I downloaded the pdf from your website and was really impressed with the quality of your design work, and the thinking behind it.

I've been following the Hyperloop story every since Musk open-sourced it. This seems a considerable contribution to the conceptual elaboration of the project. Well done.

Wow, totally impressed!

Thanks for all the kind comments.

It's catching fire:
NBC News picked it up with a video:

So did Business Insider, Fast Company, hypeBeast, Austin Business Journal, and PSFK

Interviewed with Discovery and CNBC today so I suspect they will be going forward with something too. Nice to see the response from the press-- I have to say none of this could've been accomplished without SketchUp's ability to handle massive instances for objects, like seats, capsules, rails, etc..

Wow! Great work. Congrats on the coverage.

Elon Musk... everything this guy does is gold.
