OK, so I am making a map of Rain Genetics so that we know where people are. I'm using Autodesk Inventor, a 3-D modeling program, to do this so that we have horizontal and vertical positioning possible. I'm using a 1:10 scale, that is, 1 inch in the model = 10 feet on the map.

Now, we already know that Rain Genetics has an outer wall and at least two buildings, one with a control tower/communications mast.

Questions I need answered:

  • How thick is the outer wall?
  • How tall is the outer wall?
  • How many entrances are there, besides the main entrance?
  • How large is the area inside the wall?
  • How much area does A Building cover?
  • How many stories tall is A Building, not including the tower?
  • How many stories tall is the tower?
  • How much area does the tower cover?
  • How many stories tall is the communications mast?
  • How are the B Building and A Building positioned relative to each other?
  • How much area does B Building cover?
  • How many stories tall is B Building?

I'll add to this list as things come up. I will accept input from anyone, but I reserve final judgment on measurements. Also, I will not model any area over 500 square meters.

As Giul is GM, any measurement he gives me I will consider final and not up for discussion.

The map will be posted as soon as I finish it. There will be tags for locations on the 3D map, but they will be limited to what building a character is in and what story he is at.

I will also create 2D maps for the inside areas of the buildings, to aid in navigation, etc.


This is what has been decided so far:
YARD: 500ft by 600 ft (30,000 square ft), measuring from inside surface of outer wall
WALL: 3ft thick
BUILDINGS:
A Building - Labs/Storage:
F6: Guard tower walkway access
F5: Guard tower base/security checkpoint
F4-F1: Labs (There'll be a large 4 story lab used for testing/observation/subject detention. Remember, Rain Genetics is eeeebul.)
Also will have adjoining 2-story security checkpoint/guard barracks/Security Control Room.
B1: Quartermaster/Scientific Storage
B2: Equipment Storage/Access Tunnels

B Building - Residential/Offices
F6: Guard tower walkway access
F5: Guard tower base/security checkpoint
F4-F3: Residential
F2-F1: Offices
Main: Double-height Atrium/Offices
B1: Storage
B2: Garage/Access Tunnels

C Building - Library and Supercomputer
F2: Mainframe Terminal
F1: Library Access/Mainframe Security Checkpoint
B1: Maintenance
B2: Maintenance/Access Tunnels

D Building - Power Plant
F1: Power Control Room/Security Checkpoint
B1: Fuse Room/Maintenance
B2: Maintenance/Access Tunnels

Rain Genetics Compound Features
Cafeteria: Two, large one in B Building and small one in A Building.
Workout rooms: Somewhere on the residential levels of B Building. Also, the yard is large enough that people can take a run around the inside of the walls for exercise. That's 2km or 1.2 miles.
Library/Supercomputer: I'm thinking more that the supercomputer would be in it's separate high-security building, with a low-security annex that acts as a library...think Star Wars-style library, no books, just terminals.
Terminals: Scattered throughout the buildings, fairly densely in A Building (one or two in each lab, depending on its size), and a little less dense in B Building. C Building would have a mainframe terminal.
Gun Cage: This'd be in A Building, on B1 with the Quartermaster.
Employee Parking: Some in the garage on B2 in B Building, but the majority is outside in the yard.

Yes, really. And now for the link to my profile on Urban Dead and my character's status:
