I was just working on a drawing for the old WTC and was wondering...Should the entire complex be drawn as one diagram listed as "World Trade Center"?

No!

Well, before you completely object, hear my reasoning:

The Petronas are technically two different buildings, I think. They have their own diagram. Same with the Spear Towers in San Francisco. Plus, we're always trying to conserve space on the diagram, so instead of having seven different diagrams, why not draw just one diagram and list all the individual heights of the shorter buildings in the building's popup window.

Well Petronas are connected in the centre by the bridge.

duh thanks Taylor :rolleyes:

I don't think they should be 1 diagram though.

No, they are all different buildings, many of them built at different times!

Althrough there are some instances, the database system does not support multiple buildings/towers as one drawing.

BTW, in case you're wondering what it would look like:

That's cool. Just wondering if it would work.:)

Nice diagram.

A few things that would improve it:

3WTC's horizontal banding was much stronger. The window divisions weren't really noticable.

1&2 WTC's tops look odd, but I guess that's just the way it goes trying to draw something that intricate.

Looks nice! I should be able work support for these things into the database someday.

Thats great!
One little niggle however - 3WTC is the facing the wrong way, its broad side faced the WFC.

Thanks everyone!

Caw123 - Yeah, I wasn't sure exactly of 3WTC's placement, so it was kind of a guess. I'll get around to fixing it.:)

That is a very good drawing.

The Petronas Towers share a base, don't they?

Yes the Petronas Towers and a neighbouring hotel are all connected at the base by a large podium/mall.
