Not really. The purpose of my experimentation was actually to improve the ruby code I have written that generates the spire model. I wouldn't want to spend the time modelling that by hand!

After I had that working well, I did a 10-minute Sears Tower just for comparison. Then I spent about 30 minutes on the Bank of America Plaza (Atlanta, with pointy top) and then about two minutes on the Peachtree Plaza Hotel, once again just for comparison purposes.

Then I saw clearly how short Atlanta's buildings are.
