Offices starting
I am starting to work on the office floors. Three of the offices for floors 11-15 have been made, and the carpeting has been changed. Next up, I will work on adding the remaining offices for floors 11-15, add restrooms (left of the stairwell), and add walls around the stairwell and elevator shaft. Here are some screenshots of my progress (all are on floor 15).

Update: August 22, 2024
Major progress on offices
I have got all of the remaining offices added (on floors 11-15) and added some of the walls around the elevator shaft and all of the walls around the stairwell (on all office floors). I have also shifted the front office wall, aligning it with the window texturing and enlarging the offices slightly. Next coming, I will finish the elevator shaft walls and add the restrooms. I will also assign each office a number with the format FF-N, where FF is the floor number and N is the sequential office number. For example, office 3 on floor 12 would be assigned the number 12-3. Here are some screenshots of my progress (again, all are on floor 15).

Update: August 23, 2024
Elevators now fully complete
I have completed the walls around the elevator shaft on all office floors, and removed the trims from the black granite walls, due to interfering with entering the elevators. I have also made some preparations for adding the restrooms. The elevators can now be declared "fully complete" rather than "partially complete", because there is no more work I got to do on them. Please Note: The work on actually adding the restrooms and the office numbering (including office signage) has been postponed until tomorrow, because I didn't feel like doing them today, for some reason. Here is a screenshot of my progress.

Restrooms and door trims
I have added the restrooms, standardized all of the door and window trims (including the elevator and stairwell door trims on all office floors, 11-19), and added wood flooring in front of the elevators on floors 11-15. Next up (moved to tomorrow), I will get the office numbering (including signage) in and complete the restrooms. After that's done, I will start working on office floors 16-19. Here are some screenshots of my progress (again, all are on floor 15).

Update: August 25, 2024
Floors 11-15 complete
I have just fully completed the first set of office floors, as the restrooms are now complete (with custom doors) and the office numbering and signage is added now. In addition, I added signage for the stairwell on all office floors. Coming up, I will start working on office floors 16-19. Here are some screenshots of my progress.

One, Fell, Swoop.
I have finished the office floors 16-19, in one fell swoop, as I simply copy, pasted, and modified the code, to add everything on those floors. Next, I may start improving the external windows with custom mullions. I also put up a poll for ideas of things to add in the two atriums. I will lock the poll on October 5, 2024, and see the results. I will do the one with the most votes. Here are some screenshots of my progress.

Mullions "started"
I have started work on a function that allows for mullions and custom windows, although it cannot be used yet (it does not work as a function), hence the quotes around the word. Next up, I will finish work on the function, test it out, and actually start adding the windows (once the function is perfected). No screenshots need to be made, as the actual building is still in the state that it was the last time I posted screenshots.

Function is working
I have made a bunch of progress on the function, and it is now usable (but only for front-facing windows). I have already added one window to test out the function. Coming next, I will add support for windows of all directions in the function, and then actually add the windows (with a For loop, if possible). Here is a screenshot of my progress.

Custom mullions/windows added
I have added the custom windows, which feature mullions, window frames, alpha blending on the exterior of the window pane, are made using a function, and are added using For loops. When I return, I will finish up the work that was necessitated by adding these custom windows, like adding wall boxes on each corner (using the same texture as the mullions), retexturing transition cover walls on the interior of the atriums, and thickening and retexturing the transition roofs to match the mullions. Here are some screenshots of my progress.

There has been progress made on the building, but it has and will be slow due to having to focus on other tasks as well.

Update: September 13, 2024
Mullions complete, except around entrance
I have completed most of the custom windows and mullions, except for ones around the entrance doors. I have also retextured the transition covers in the atriums, and changed the texture of the machine room walls (on the roof) to somewhat match up with the new roof texture. Next up, I will add the missing mullion, realign the doors to fit with them, and also add a canopy over the doors. Here are some screenshots of my progress.

Mullions fully complete!
I have just finished, completely, the mullions, with the final piece, the entrance doors, now completed, with the overhang above the doors added. After this, I will add some more extra details here and there (when I have time on my hands), and add what the winner is in the poll above (once I lock the poll on October 5). Vote in the poll now! Note: Choosing the fifth option requires that you make a post in this topic. Here is a screenshot of my progress.

New round columns
I have added new round columns onto the elevator bank and stairwell as an extra detail, using a new geometry feature in the latest build of SkyscraperSim, the 9/28 build. Next up, more detail work on the elevators will be done. Here are some screenshots of my progress.
