Vid's diagrams: Part 2

Since my old thread was archived and is currently inaccessible, I'm starting a new one.

Now that I have a faster computer I've gotten back into drawing diagrams. My first is a diagram of Pembina Hall, a 10 storey building anchored to pillars on either side of a two storey building, allowing it to exist on the same site while not damaging the architecture of the smaller, older building, which is pretty cool. The truss that supports the building is the largest ever used in a building in Manitoba. You can read a bit about it here.

This is the first diagram I've drawn entirely in SVG, using Inkscape. The canvass size is equivalent to 4:1 scale, but details go right down to 16:1 scale. (Nothing complex, just skinny lines that would require that scale if drawn in raster format.)

Here is the diagram in 4:1 scale, both the highrise and the original two storey building all by itself, since some of the details in it are obscured by the support pillars:





I hope you like my watermark.

I've got two 1:1 scale exports, I am not sure which one to upload but I am leaning toward the second:



Any comments?
