I'm not sure what you mean by this, but the angle of the building is set by
the large Star Wars wing <part:30355> and <part:30356> which are parts of
the roof panels. Once I had that part in hand, figured out how big the
windows would be, made them an easy size (2 1x4 bricks stacked on top of
each other) and scaled the whole building from that from pictures of the
real BP building.

Because of its bulk, it really is quite stable once it's put together. Each
section is a little shaky on its own though. The building splits right
above the atrium, and one floor below the last roof tier. On each of those
layers is a whole bunch of tiles, and about a dozen 1x2 plates, which
actually join each segment together. Despite that, you can push on it
pretty well and it won't tip or fall (a 3 foot by 3 foot base will do that
for you)
I hope I answered your questions :)

| Hi Adrian, Very nice building. I especially like the angle between the two halves, is there any model to follow regarding proportions? How stable is the building, while resisting horizontal forces (ie, "shaken")? Pedro (23 years ago, 10-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.town)
