Hey all...I have looked and just can't seem to find anything but I am building a 3D model of carver...and need to know how far down the floor is from the concourse...and it would be great to know how steep an incline the stairs are!! Anyone have the info??? Thanks!

Does "a long ways" and "steep" count? Obviously, I have no idea, and chances are the information you're looking for would only be available in the original plans.
 
that's what I was afraid of...lol exactly what I came up with..."a long ways" and "steep"

Do you think 50 ft down and like 30 degrees is close??
 
Okay so I decided the better question is how tall is each "floor level" or how many rows of seating are there??

42 rows found it...Hey I should have a decent overall building model by tonight...maybe I'll post it...so far it's pretty basic...The reason I'm doing this is I have an Idea about a renovation but to model it I need a good model of the arena!! And I'm looking for a hobby!

It's a lot longer than 50'. You'd probably have to do some trigonometry to get the dimensions exact.

Get the angle and length from the concourse to the floor, assume a 90 degree angle straight up from the floor to the ceiling, and then use the law of sines to get the rest.

This is what I was going to do...but then I decided to just use the offset feature in Sketchup and build up from the floor...I am assuming:
-The first row of seating is 6 inches off the floor
-every row is 1 ft above the other with a 6 inch step in aisle stairway
-The rows all have 3 feet of space from front to back

Do those assumptions sound reasonable? (wanted to ask for advice/input now because I'm only about 10 rows up ;) )
 
From the top row of seating...Does anyone know how to use the camera in Sketchup???

the seats, railings, tunnel are not done yet obviously...the reason the floor looks so big is that it doesn't have all the "stuff" on it yet like the scorers table and folding chairs etc...

The retractable seats may not be as steep, you can see in a detailed photo the difference, unfortunately i keep getting the "moderator must approve" message when i try to link to a detailed photo.
