Yeah, real life again; and I've been sidetracked, doing lots of research on
various and interesting POV-Ray-related topics. AND trying to get my new
computer monitor to look correct!

I like this--creating a building from the inside out.  Especially the image with
the added scaffolding, a nice touch.

My only quibble would be with the vertical iron girders; I think they would look
more realistic with a typical 'H' cross-section, rather than square. Unless they
are supposed to be concrete pillars?

I haven't forgotten my own buildings ;-) I ran into a (temporary) roadblock re:
making them with separate upper sections of a smaller size than the base-- like
the way lots of older buildings look in New York, with sections 'stepped back'
as the buildings rise. My original code made that difficult, so I have to
re-write parts of it. I'm exploring various ways of doing that. (And I still
want to try making the building faces out of heightfields, to have a 3-D look
rather than flat.)
