Elevator Editor

Elevator types

  • Hydraulic elevators:

    • Gear-less: 24 ft/sec or 7.32 m/sec. Requires a total distance of 26 to 50 floors.

    • Otis (except touch buttons) and Otis 67 textures: uses otis67 folder, which exists in most versions of skyscrapersim (excluding BENO edition and alpha 7)
    • Otis touch: custom fixture set; textures and sounds already exist in skyscrapersim. Door and alarm buttons use the otis67 folder although I may change it in the future.
    • Schindler MT: already pre installed in skyscrapersim. Uses the “MT” folder.
  • Not implemented yet:

Glass Elevators

You can specify whether the elevators have a glass cab, glass doors, both of them, or neither of them. In the future I may streamline the creator to have glass depending on what side of the cab it’s on.

Stairs/Escalator editor

  • Stairs: mainly used for emergencies, can serve any range of floors.
  • Escalators: can be placed on any floor, and it goes only to the floor above it. For example, if you want it to serve floors 5-6, place the escalator on floor 5.
