Re: Risers and Steps
Yeah you'd have to define the virtual visitor's collision boundaries as well as all objects you'd interact with. At that point you might as well adopt a 3D first person game engine. I know from messing with first person shooter level making in past decades that I always had to compromise and oversize openings or passageways for the player not to get stuck in if using real-world scale. For example instead of using 16 game units per foot, I had to upscale my blueprint measurements to 20 units per foot (or more) depending on how tight things were to navigate. It was cool to virtually walk around in a fully rendered environment though, not just a non-lit preview 3D window. But all this probably misses the point for general architectural/remodeling uses like SH3D is meant for.
