Week 2 : 3D Modelling : Ropeway Tower

Since our site visit has been delayed a week later my team and I have divided ourselves into roles and given each other responsibilities.

I have been assigned to be part of the 3D modelling team. Due to the site delay, we have also based our early stages of modelling on research.

I have been specifically assigned to model the Aerial Rope way towers & Ropes.

Rope Detail

Rope way Tower

• There were approx. 47 of these towers streching across the 3.2km ropeway network.
• Each timber tower was 8 to 10 metres wall depending on its location.

Pylon Fittings (Tower Base)

Fallen Tower & Structural Base

Since we have not visited the site, I have to base my Modelling on these images.
