Foundation Kit - Sci-fi modular building system Version 2.0

The Greeble Foundation Kit (previously the Gantry System) is an efficient and low-impact modular sci-fi kit designed to be easily modifiable for use in various futuristic builds as gantries, catwalks, scaffolding & platforms.
A number of ready-to-use pre-built structures are also included to both demonstrate what the kit is capable of, and to save time.
The Foundation Kit is designed around a 4x4x4 metre cubic grid. This size was chosen due to several factors, including Second Life's parcel sizes, and the need for flexibility of rotation.

PLEASE NOTE that this product is also included bundled inside some Greeble products.
Some familiarity and understanding with building and modding is recommended to make full use of Greeble products.

What’s in the Box:

1. Gantry & Railing Components
Adjustable Flooring (Triangle, Quarter Circle, Quarter Octagon)
Adjustable Plating (Triangle, Quarter Circle, Quarter Octagon)
-See FAQ/Notes for details on how to use these. The non-rectangular components were originally designed to allow for fitting in the asteroids without them clipping outside, but they work just as well for other purposes.

Gantry (Ramp, Half Ramp, Steps, Half Steps)

Railing x(1-10)
Railing (Ramp, Half Ramp, Steps, Half Steps)
-These use Alpha masking, set the masking value to 50, 100 or 150 to hide or reveal different parts of the railing.

Foundation (W x Hm)
-slightly larger than the indicated sizes to create a lip around the structure.

2. Corridor & Room Components
- Corridors are for interiors that are 1 tile wide.
- Room components are designed for larger rooms. These can connect to corridor components through 'bays'.

3. Plate Components
- Plate components are designed to fit between corridor and room components. use them as caps, doorways, etc.

4. Door Components
- Doors are designed to fit into plate components. The Doors have their object descriptions already setup for the included Greeble door script to be ready to use when linked together.

5. Misc Components

Bulkhead Light
Floodlight
Floodlight - Blue

Electrical Access Box
Ventilation Unit

Shrouded Piping Ducts
-The frame of this uses Alpha masking, set the masking value to 50, 100, 150 or 200 to hide or reveal different parts of the frame.

Corner Brace
Foundation Pedestal
Single Flat Truss
Truss
Truss Support

6. Pre-Assembled Components
- Pre-assembled from the individual components.

7. Pre-built Structures
These are prefabs, ready to use out of the box.

Awning (5LI)
-A large awning for storing vehicles or cargo under, providing basic shelter from the elements.
Elevated Outpost v2 (74 LI)
-An elevated outpost with 3 rooms, a landing pad on top and space for vehicles to park below it.
Foundation Kit - Stair Scaffolding (13 LI)
-A simple staircase and scaffolding. useful for quick access to multi-storey structures, as well as serving as an example of how the Gantry System fits together.
Large Watchtower v2 (29 LI)
-A large tower with spiral stairs leading up to a small cabin and floodlights illuminating the surrounding area.
Oceanic Platform v2 (128 LI)
-A large hexagonal platform designed to stand in 20m deep water. Works well by itself or in a honeycomb arrangement. The top is left blank so you can place whatever you want on it.
Prefabricated Barrier v2 (2 LI)

FAQ/Notes

Modding
Most of the components in the Foundation kit have been designed to be easily modifiable inworld. The textures are typically pale and neutral-toned in order to be best tinted inworld. The faces of most of the meshes have also been UVed in such a way that the textures can be replaced and adjusted by users inworld without too much issue.
