Don't worry, this is to do a section!!
Column grid fits within itself to enable a gradual transition in column density as you move through the church.

Amiens, Salisbury and Chartres cathedrals:
Looking at the development of the arch profiles. Sectional aspects of the arches are explored seprately and then will be combined through modelling.
The aim is to formally delineate cetain programatic zones within the church. A variety of arch columns direct the eye to points of architectural interest and can be used as a means of navigation. May also create some enclosure.

...This is what my columns do. When a structure is intentionally so open, how can i still direct people. I know i am gona need a couple of diags (and a good section) to explain this. Is a work in progress.

Plan of upper levels only. (Still modelling lower levels.)
I am hoping when i add colours to differentiate layers this will begin to look as complex as it does in 3d.

Model for stl...
Using pipe command for quick thickness (though don't like profile, can change later). Will be applied to distorted ground plan.
