Elephant House (highly detailed, inspired by Copenhagen Zoo)

An elephant habitat (African Elephants) for a rather small herd of maybe 3-4 adult elephants for the start. The entire habitat has been inspired by the elephant house in Copenhagen Zoo (Denmark), which I tried to rebuild wherever possible. Obviously, it's probably not even close in many cases, but it comes close in parts..


HOW TO SET THE PATHS

This is a blueprint (a zoo file will follow) and so the paths need to be done manually. It can be tricky in the outdoor sections, but I try to explain it as good as possible (see also the pictures above):

1a) Place the blueprint and hide the red bar (only showing the green bar this way)..

1) The first paths need to be done in the upper flow of the house. Use the grid of the green square on the right side of the building and place the entire floor (or all parts, you want to place) with the grid. Except of the last part in front of the stairs. (Leave some place between the info boards, as the visitors will cross them, if you don't do it)

2) Orange square grid, using path width 8 and length 3-4: use the grid just to place the path in front of the house. Then go on with width 8/length 4 and the path should connect with the main entrance of the house.

3) Red square grid for the lower floor of the house: start on the red square in the house and set the path as you want. It should be self explaining on this floor. The last step should be the stairs then, where you should easily connect with the first floor (don't forget to use 15-90° for this though).

When you leave the building on the inner side of the habitat, you should unselect the grid and place a path following the pattern. I recommend a width 6-7 setting and try to set the path to the end of the fence.

4) Green square on the right side of the habitat:

For the entire outer paths use width 4, length 1 and 15° for the corners.

If it doesn't work for some reasons, just try to play around with some corners (the sector around the employe's entrance - PINK square - can be tricky, but it can be done ;) with some patience).



Hope you like it.
