Wait. Put down that shovel. This is the deal:

We will be adding some new features to the Moonbase Project standard soon. These include vertical corridors, higher horizontal corridors and a a permanent Monorail integration standard. All of these new features will be aligned on a module with a base measurement of 10,20,30 etc.

So..

Should the standard Moonbase Project Corridor be raised 2 bricks up from a height of 8 to a height of 10 off the ground to match the new features?

And here is the poll:

2 bricks folks. 2 bricks that could save a lot of headache in the long run.

(...) By "vertical corridors" do you mean guidelines for multi-level modules? That is, for corridor connections at regular intervals above the "1st floor"? Live it up, -sb (21 years ago, 29-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Just don't think I'll be redesigning the Rigel 7 Module any time soon :) I agree with whoever said to bump it up a little more than 2 to give more room for monorail underneath, though.

The corridors also need to be 2 studs wider. David "Fuzzy" Gregory (21 years ago, 29-Aug-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
