Yes indeed. Bill, and myself, did some exploration that way back then; and 
there was some scenes based on Arthur Clarke's Rama iirc, some years ago 
too. It is not easy, fairly impossible, to show all, so a shrewd choice of 
viewpoint and scene cutout to suggest - more than to show - the vast 
dimensions of such artificial structures is needed.
