Solid model, I really do love how it fits in CBDs, however, I'd recommend collecting everything in a folder and uploading the folder, because uploading every bit seperately is a bit tedious

Another fine selection of a building.  Love the street level design. This adds to the set of your unique buildings with a feel for the weight and depth of real buildings.  Thanks!
