Phase 1 - Day 2.

I don't have a lot of time to commit to the project today (yay D&D!) but I did get a start on mapping the walls of ICC in Google Sheets. It took a long time to get the full building outline right - especially that pesky diagonal - but I was able to do that and get a start on the rooms.

​Something I still need to think about is marking the measurements. Right now I'm just filling in squares with grey. It would be a huge pain to type in block measurements - but possibly worth it?

Another piece is marking doors, staircases, columns, outdoor areas... I thought my original estimate of 12 hours to plan this out would be high but it might be right on target after all.

Lots of measurements in Autodesk Viewer. Getting even hairier as I work through the rooms.

I look at it much more zoomed in, of course - but there's still a lot of squinting.
I also started working on an overall project plan schedule. I think the whole ICC project will take me about 50 hours. With a few hours per day, I can get that done in 17 days - so let's round it up to 3 weeks because I technically do have a life.

I have another 35 hours planned for just server administration tasks - setting it up, installing and testing mods, etc. One of the larger chunks of that work is creating a custom texture set. I may not change every block but I at least want to make some wool blocks to approximate the carpeting in the convention center. I'm novice-ish at image software but hopefully a bit of Google will get me where I need.

Those two together will be about 5 weeks or so - although that does include adding minigames and freebuild areas - so barring help, it's looking like I'll only be able to get ICC done in time.
