Dimensions & Math
The best I can estimate is that the old Chateau Theater in Rochester, MN is about 70' wide and 165' deep:
For Inkscape, I'm using a standard 8.5"x11" canvas. I'm using metric units. I created a simple spreadsheet in Google Docs to determine the size in mm that the SVG elements need to be when creating the file:
num of feet | inches in foot | scale | scale inch/foot | scale mm/foot |
1 | 12 | 160 | 0.075 | 1.905 |
Here's some various angles from satellite. In addition to the marquee, there will be some angles to deal with such as the slope on the wall/roof where the window dormers are in front. I may just do flat surfaces at the beginning, and then in subsequent revisions add more detail.
