Thanks MGagen. Everyone seems to be looking for one thing to get the monitor overhead to agree with TOS stills when it is a collective of a bunch of little things to yield that necessary space and to get it to match. 1. shifting the inner face of the inner bridge ring from 9ft 4 inches to 9 ft 3 inches. ( again in adhering to the 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 inch breaks I’ve noticed macro level of everything from TOS stills and Stage 9 floor plans from Journey To Babel. IE bed frame height in captain’s cabin needing to be 18 inches to match height of back of knee while sitting on bed, 3 inch rail depth on the ladder between the engineering consoles, height of transporter deck to match the back of the knee at 18 inches and not 24, adjusting everything to the nearest 3 inch breaks when measuring as a few offhand examples. ) 2. Subtracting 1/2 degree from each half console. 3. Raising the ceiling from 7 ft 2 inches to 7 ft 3 inches. 4. Shallowing the angle of the back plate of the upper moniter face and frame. 5. Changing the monitor frame face depth from 2 inches to 3 inches. 6. Taller dome. ( x 2 ) Clearing front yard of tree pruning pretty much done. ( if neighbor’s kid will finish hauling it off before I get hit with a fine. ) My friend came over yesterday and assisted in dismantling the bridge station so I can get the remaining measurement across the face of the monitor overhead. I’m 2 days behind on what I planned on. I’ll resume working on the drawings tonight. ( last night I needed a break )
The 3 inch pattern makes so much sense. At scale that is 1/4 of a foot. A very easy division to mark out. On my Constitution plans, I went with a 3" pixel or 4 pixels per foot.
