Hey everyone, this is my first time in this area of the forum, and this is my very first skyscraper design. It's not much.. I'm no architect, I mostly just designed it as I went, and obviously it still needs to be textured.

I made a cool little timelapse video of me making it in AutoCAD (the video is about 2:30 min, condensed from ~25min)

Cool video, but it made me feel like an old idiot. I can barely log on a computer, and to watch something like that is amazing to me. Thanks for the show.:)

That was awesome. Compared to most of my CAD work, that can whoop my ass and then some.

Sure, if you want it. I don't know anything about modeling in sim city though. is there a way to convert autocad files to sc4 files?
