Finding building dimensions of a airport

[ChristianH727]

Hi. I am starting to develop scenery after learning to modify it. I have gotten comfortable with Overlay Maker, but still learning WED. I am planning to do a detailed YGK scenery (freeware) with custom models. How would I go about finding dimensions about the buildings so I could model them. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Ether u get blueprints or u try and use you best judgement as to how tall a structure is by looking at images

For the top-down dimensions of almost any building I always use Google maps and their measurement tool. The height and other dimensions of the building you will have to eyeball, Or if you have a near orthographic image of the side of the building you can use that as an overlay to get those measurements.

Import orthophoto in your airport and use NAPS' metric tool. It's an object, use it to calculate 2D dimensions in meters.
