Site model on CTools

The Rhino site model is up on CTools, in a new folder within "Resources" called (appropriately) "Rhino Site Model." The file "compiled_model.3dm" is what you want, but it's just an empty file that loads all the individual parcels as linked block references. So, in order to view the whole model, you'll need to download all the other .3dm files and keep them in the same folder as the "compiled_model" file. Originally I had imported everything into one single stand-alone file, but that grew to 60MB with only 14 parcels, so I couldn't imagine trying to deal with it once all 78 parcels were in there.

Also, I updated the link for the VRML version of the model of the site. It is viewable, but it's rather wonky. See the addendum to my last post for a more detailed explanation of that wonkiness.
