Author Topic: World Trade Centers =/= Blockland  (Read 1821 times)

A standard size for any door in most buildings is 3'. The door in bedroom is 91 studs wide.

This means that 30 studs=1 foot.

208ft (width of WTC)= 6,240 studs.

Stud area of one floor of the WTC: 38,937,600.
64x baseplates required to make one floor of WTC: 9,506.25 (or 9,506 and one 16x)

Assuming a logical estimate for the height of each floor, h/f=x where h is height and f is floors and x is floor height, we get 12.4 ft per floor, continuing on the 30 studs to one foot, we get 372 studs to make up floor. This is 74 1x1x5 and 2 regular bricks, so 76 bricks to make up the height of the floor. However, this would just be one corner. To blanket the facade of the towers with it's iconic design, we would require

570 (remember, the columns have a width of about 3 ft, give or take) bricks per each of the (roughly) 56 columns along each of the four sides=127,680.

So, in total we have 127,680 bricks for the column elements and 9,207 baseplates for the floor. So, this is 136,887 studs. Per floor.

136,887 studs x 110 floors is 15,057,570 for a life size world trade center. I feel inclined to mention that these are the most boring, amorphous, versions of the towers you could possibly conjure up.

Basically, it's this:
On a much, much, much, much much larger scale.

Oh, there are two by the way. 30,115,140.

Nice calculations br0.





We should try it.  :cookieMonster:
The duplicator will help a hell of a lot on this.

Your calculations are all wrong. Who wouldn't use a blockhead as a human-size?

208ft (width of WTC)= 6,240 studs.
208ft (width of WTC)= 139 studs.

Yeah.

Every person should make one floor and then we send them all to Badspot and he uses his super computer abilities to load it all and take pictures :D

More than 131,072 objects = things cease to render

Seeing as a Blockhead is a toy...

A: I saw that ninja edit
B: We can try to be super conservative with bricks a suppose.

My god.

Treat the blockhead as the size of a human.

Yeah.
I said life scale, which is why I used the door. If a human walked though that door, they would see a very short blockhead.

Edit: Obviously, if the blockhead was human sized then,

1) where did you get such a huge bedroom?
2) My calculations would be off.

You are an idiot if you use life-scale
