  CFD: Scaling Buildings in Datville
 
What does everyone think about using scaling to bring some models (esp. large buildings) into scale with the rest of Datville? As I see it, the benefit is that we can make use of, and show off, those buildings (such as Anders' rendition of his own (...) (25 years ago, 9-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Scaling Buildings in Datville  [DAT]
 
I obviously wasn't clear enough in my original post. By "scaling" buildings, I mean using buildings that would otherwise be too large for Datsville, but down-scaling them in the town.dat file, i.e.: 1 16 540 0 -800 0 0 0.50 0 0.50 0 -0.50 0 0 (...) (25 years ago, 10-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)
