I'm working a free tool to help do very large builds in thematic but creative and flexible ways.

I think it could be useful in building out Neualtenburg. Check it out (especially view the images at the end of the thread before commenting :)

Wow! I love it. I'll keep it in mind for when the city grows. It really has potential! :)

/me is speechless

Fantastic stuff, Blaze... does this mean that we could have created Neualtenburg in, say, 5 minutes? :) Ok, just joking!

I foresee so many possibilities with your technology that my mind boggles, I'm dizzy, and with a headache :) I'm just going to log in and do some silly thing like go to a fancy club and test my new dance bracelet and let the mind wander. :)

Wow. I have certainly to talk to you inworld about this...

blaze, your tool could really be useful for one of the more difficult structures in the city. Last night Skunken started the Senate foundation, center stage, and seats but we stopped short of doing the dome. The problem is, that we need to make a symmetric dome with a diameter of about 30 meters out of glass and steel, using the least number of prims possible. If we built a single sliver of the dome, would your code be able to revolve and repeat that single piece to create a dome?
