Thanks B5 Fan, I am hoping it does as well . . .
I did some more work on the entire project layout this week. I started to do sketches of the buildings that would go into all 3 levels of the dome. But before really got heavy into that, I finished the concept layout for the ground level and built the outline of the Dome structure.
This is a finished plot for the ground level . . . as before all the circles and geo shapes are building placements.
The first thing I put together was the ground plate that would support the buildings and get them off the ground.
The dome is done for the most part but I may still change my mind as from being a Tessellated dome to a regular quad poly dome. This is what I came up with for a tessellated version.
This is for much later but I was getting a jump start on a highway system that would get traffic from the ground level to the second level.
The dome is 1900 ft high so I thought first two levels should be 600 ft and the last level would take up the difference.
The roadways leading from level 1 to level 2 would skirt along the inside perimeter of the dome. The initial decent would be 400ft for a distance of about 2900ft this would give me a slop of around 13 degrees which is fairly decent but then I would be left with a 200ft drop with only 800ft to do it in . . . that would suck. so I decided to curve the roadway around the 4 round structures almost in the center of the plate which is almost 2000ft of extra distance. . . the paths are in color . . .
Anyway this is something for a later date . . . here's the image, sorry to babble
