As with the crossbars over the monorail that you would keep, at least put some type of solid beams and supports AROUND
it so it looks like it keeps it from toppling over.

And about the too much green, I did figure you would do more and maybe get rid of all the grass so overall it did look less 'green.'

As promised, here is an updated version of the station with some modification.

Mike - The lower right corner is the best I can do based on the objects I'm using at the moment. Once I've finished, I may import an object or two for around the edges.



Thanks everyone or the feedback

You just killed the screen imo, it was much better before. Now it's too busy.

i sortof agree with nin... the big arches look wrong, if you made it thinner, and less bulky i think it would improve it alot.

That is AWESOME.

Ok so not to confuse you but I am jumping on the "dislike the poll lattice stuff you've shown before" bandwagon. You still haven't gotten quite right with the arches either though.

I think the problem with the poles was the lack of any sort of support structure around them which made it look off as Mike said above.

I love the new screen, it looks amazing. To be honest, I hated the first one with those lattice things. The arches look great to me (I know they aren't perfectly round but I get the impression you didn't want them to be).

You'll never be able to please everyone, of course. Just build the way you like, it's all good so far.

I liked the lattice more to be honest. The new one looks nice, but those arch structures seem kinda out of place to me. I agree with Milo that the lattice cover just needed more support, and I think that the lattice looks better in my opinion.

The rest of the station structure is fantastic though, like the concrete arch base and the escalators. On the whole, the screen looks good, except for the arches.

^ The latice is good if executed correctly.... It just sort of looked flimsy on the sides.

With the new screen..... I don't know to be honest. The arches could work if it was smaller. I like the poles coming down attached to the roof, but I'm not sure the tiled roof works either. That and the far edges 'again' does not have any support. It looks like the edges will just snap off, ESPECIALLY with the tiles sections..... almost like breaking off a section of a hershey bar! lol

Don't get me wrong, this is great stuff, but I think this monorail station needs some work.

I'd have to agree with the rest, the station needs improvement. The archy throws off the screen, and the roofing above the rails looks as if it'll crash down right on top of the train! If you plan on doing archy, I'd add more arches at least. And maybe some windows? Other than that, parking structure looks very good (i'm liking the elevators ), just work on that station.

The second screen is better.

Well, after trying out several options. The below version is the final version. I have checked with our structural engineer and he has assured me that these will not topple over.



This is really the look I am going for and I am very happy with the adjustments in this final version as it does add stability. And yes I know the grassy area is not finished yet.

Again, thanks for all te feedback.

^That's what I'm taling about! That looks awesome!

that is much, much better. (y)

That last screen looks like you just blended the stiles in the first two screens, which I think looks the best too. It also seems to fit better with what you've already done.

Keep it up.

RIP arches/cool floating roof.

Okay, that is the absolute best structure you've ever made. I mean, even the parking structure is enough to look at, but then you give us the sick monorail station! Oh, wow, I'm loving it.

Glad you fixed it. And it's not just a normal cover to play it safe. It's still different just with more stability. Nice work James.

I like where this is heading.... probably the best of what you've shown and it's a lot more intricate and interesting to look at. Well done.

Aw man, that arch thing was one of the coolest stations I've seen. The other station still looks awesome though. Keep up the good work.
