UPDATE : Come see some screen shots of a 3D visualisation of a flood type map using Ordnance Survey opendata!

Inspired by the treetop walkway in Kew gardens I thought I’d make a quick rule file to change a road network into one.  Here is a screen capture of the result.

Treetop Walkway, plus trees controlled by elevation and soil type.
Treetop Walkway, plus trees controlled by elevation and soil type.

It is really quite simple and small as rule files go, and I still need to make proper handrails and of course an access point (stairs and lift).   I used SketchUp to model the pylon and then adjusted the road width to a walkway width and the sidewalks are used as railings.   Instead of junctions I used roundabouts and placed the SketchUp pylon model in the centre of the roundabout.

Different rule file from above similar result….

I hope to put this example and others up online in the near future….
