spikes set out the parcel boundaries within the subdivision plot, a manifestation of geographic
data within which world building is to occur

The interiors were also defined, typically including 4 bedrooms, dining room
and kitchen etc. Of course, virtual fences, vegetation and landscaping were also
addressed. However, this mock-up environment for a subdivision development
only reflects one aspect of transportation, the main road.
Simple planar primitives, mostly thin planes, were used to construct the three
types of house to be developed within the OpenSim VE. Position, size in three
dimensions and orientation parameters of the primitive objects were adjusted to
