The Eiffel Tower with his original design in 1889.
I made it with Autodesk Inventor 2017 with the drawings of mister Gustave Eiffel.( http://passerelles.bnf.fr/albums/tour_eiffel/index.htm )
Not all dimensions are shown on the drawings. So i made screenshots that I imported into inventor and that I scaled to have the right dimensions.
An other challenge is the size of the file. After import (i use a step file) in 3dsmax, the file size is about 1.3 Go. After optimisation, the size of the 3D Sudio Max file is 280Mo.
I use the modifier "pro optimiser" whith 3D Sudio Max 2016 and the software "polygon cruncher" to reduce the file.
I also put the names of the 72 scientists on the occasion of the universal exhibition of paris in 1889
You can download a zip file that contains an obj file, a stl file, a stp file and a 3dsmax file release 2016.
