About

During my buildings redesign, I changed from using teleports to a spiral ramp. One of the first buildings I maded in SL had spirals to cut down on prim counts. Compared to teleporters and elevators, ramps offer the valueof perception, ease of use, and reliability. My mother in-law went to the upstairs of the building on the first day she saw it and commented on items I had put upstairs. Being a noobie, she is an excellent example of how accessible design empowers your shoppers to look around in places where they otherwise would not have gone. I believe that I will stay away from teleporters and elevators from now on and stick to ramps.

I'm pretty hooked on ramps at this point. never quite sure what shape to use for them, but still, ramps work best when they have a good railing.

Yep. I just don't like how it's hard to texture the inside hollow part. I it would be nice if they were 3 separate faces.
