Congratulations on picking up the BAT.  It can be a lot of fun.

Where are these numbers coming from btw?  .5 meters wide is about 1.5 feet wide, and doors are more wide than that.

Something you can do, is you can figure out how long a part of you is, and when you go places, you can measure or estimate how big things are.  You can also look at photos (that have an object in them which you know the height of) to judge how big something is.

ahh right here is an updated more acurate listing of some dimensions Thanks Jasoncw for your comment i take it your the go to guy for the bat?

Improved BAT scale listing October 8th 2007 Simnation Productions Limited

- Residential floor height 4 to 3.5

- Commercial floor height 5 to 6 meters (Ground floor only)

- Industrial buildings vary depending on style

- Window's vary depending on the building you are making

- Doors usually 3.5 height you could also use 3 to 4. For width use 1.0, 1.2

- If you plan to make buildings that are supposed to fit in a wall to wall area or row house area, remember that 16m equals on sc4 tile And 32 equal's 2 sc4 tiles, and so on.

- Sims are usually Just about 4 units in BAT and about 1 wide

here is part of my futuristic Bat Set

just needs textures and to be lotted but tell me what you think

[Sim shady 12]

It looks interesting my only suggestion would be to add more modeling to the roof, to make it more interesting.

[autoVino 26]

interesting architecture, but why does it looks so bright?... I mean there are very little shadows cast.

another project im working on

[Sim shady 12]

Looks good so far. The only thing i might suggest is to scale up the roof on the car overhang.

[Jasoncw 11,941]

Yeah, it seems like the scale is too small.  Also, the sign seems really close to the building.  Will the overhang line up with any base textures in the lot editor?  It would be cool if it did.

[KING_4ALL 0]

no sadly th overhand dosent so im thinking how would i fix that , mabye lbatting the driveway on the bat

[Jasoncw 11,941]

You could do that, or you could also just change the overhang a little.  It doesn't look that complicated to modify.  Then you can do test exports to see if everything lines up properly.

by changing the overhand the model has become messed up so im going to re model it and modify the model to fit Sc4
