I would like to make more 3D models of historical buildings in Orange County so that i can post on Google Earth for the whole world to see in 3D. If you know where I can get good photographs or floor plans of buildings please let me know.Marco Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276238457628270015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-50248713533018166232008-12-28T19:00:00.000-08:002008-12-28T19:00:00.000-08:00Now you can view the Courthouse from the comfort o...Now you can view the Courthouse from the comfort of your house. By clicking on this link you can view a 3D model of the Santa Ana Courthouse thanks to Google Earth! The model was made by me from photographs. Please go take a look at it and let me know what you think.<BR/>http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=19119be62c229e0b2e926b60818bad5dMarco Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12276238457628270015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-76180540938326725952008-05-13T08:47:00.000-07:002008-05-13T08:47:00.000-07:00It's been difficult to access the top of the Court...It's been difficult to access the top of the Courthouse since about 1933, so I'm not surprised if you missed that opportunity. <BR/><BR/>Today it requires going through a locked (and somewhat hidden) door, climbing a narrow flight of stairs, winding your way through the attic, then going through another door. After that, you climb a disurbingly cockeyed and flimsy-looking flight of stairs that extends out over a skylight. (This is where I handed the camera to the Phil - who weighs much less than I do - and said, "I'll stay here. Take some pictures for me if you want.") At the top of these stairs is a trap-door which takes you up to the site of the old cupola. The trap-door only opens when the weather is warm and dry.Chris Jepsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00207321906121901004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31835367.post-74056167616287257222008-05-13T06:02:00.000-07:002008-05-13T06:02:00.000-07:00Hey that is where I got married.
