Long Island Mansion balcony entry

---

Hi,

I just loaded the Long Island Mansion:

https://www.daz3d.com/collective3d-long-island-mansion

And just realised this:

It have no doors for the balcony, I mean.... thats stupid O_o

Why should someone build there a fence to protect someone from falling down and make it look like, you can chill there, if you don't have a entrance there?

Climb out of the window sounds not as a good solution.

So I would recommend, that the Windows at both rooms get changed to Doors, so it get access from both rooms.

I played with the geo editor and made a hole in the middle for a new door, but...

There is a path between the 2 rooms.

Also the interior is a bit higher, so maybe adding also little stairs to the door?

I can hide it a bit via geoeditor:

But then it get black there :/

So.... not so easy.

So, can maybe the PA of this product update this, so it is more... functional and useful designed?

 

Thanks

 

Update, just loaded a similar product:

 

the PA made it correct. (Btw. both Houses are from Collective 3D)

Did the original have doors? It may have looked like a balcony, but not actually been intended to function as one.

Loony

the original have the windows, as you can also see on the shop page from the product.

Original from the daz3d store.

No, the original that inspired the model.

Ohh.... that , uhm... I mean... that would be stupid in real too O_O, would the peoples never want to sit there? And having it as a non accessable area?

Or just climb through the window to it?

The actual Amityville House looks like that. https://www.biography.com/news/the-real-amityville-horror-facts I don't know why it was designed that way, but it is.

Loony

hmmm well okay :/

but still not so useful in daz there :<

It's a false balcony.  It's not suppose to have doors, it's just for looks.

Loony

hmmm.... so well, then I would maybe (as new house owner) build atleast a stair on the side so you can go to it via stairs.

Like this maybe, so you dont have to make holes into the wall and let the windows intact.

So maybe its possible to make a hole in the fence and somehow add such a stair to it?

The framing of the real house this was based on may have been 2 feet on center thus not strong enough for a real deck.

Loony

Sorry I dont get that :/

can you show it in a pic, what point you mean?

The roof covering the sunporch has no supporting beams.   You couldn't have people walking around up there without risking them falling through.  In fact, I'm not sure how well it would hold up to heavy snowfall, especially as level as it appears to be.

Loony

Hmmm, maybe the wall is just a decoration and it is heavy behind it ;)

Like I live in a big house and my floor is Laminate, looks not heavy, but under it is a massive ground ;)

That balcony and what's under under it was added later to the house. As to why there are no stairs to it or doors from inside to it, only the parents that decided to do that know why. And it probably was only made to look like a balcony anyway for aesthetic reasons. Picture the same 'lean-to' as a steepled lean-to or not as a balcony but just a flat roof. Makes the house look cheapened by the later lean-to. It may of started off or been added as a screened porch; maybe some day they'll convert it to a solarium.

having grown up on LI I've seen many houses with the facade balcony that do not have doors.this was a style in the early 20th century before the Levit homes dominated the landscape between the north and south shores.
