* This may be an occupancy array between story/levels and between grid lines, probably used for room occupancy.  It seems to have West, North, East and South respectively as in the case of floor tile.  This is also one of the differences between levelroom foundation wall and unlocked foundation wall; unlocked foundation wall caused no alteration on value in this file while levelroom foundation wall caused certain values to become "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF".  Swim-pool caused "0x00000003" instead of "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF".  levelroom foundation blocks also caused "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF".  So far, it may explain why levelroom foundation wall still can have some bits of blockage property and tiling oddities.

Float (in singles)
Elevation of the grid point

Notes:

  1. The elevation of each grid point is relative to the Z-Value of the LDEF Lot Description in the neighborhood package.
  2. The standard elevation for the ground level and roads is 0.
  3. The standard elevation for each level is 3.0 more than the previous level, or 16-click-high/16-step-high. In other words, each click (in terms of elevation tools)/step (in terms of modular stairs) is 0.1875 in singles.
  4. The height of walls is determined by the difference in elevations from one level to the next.
  5. A basement is built at ground level, which is why the ground slopes down when creating a basement.
  6. A negative elevation means that the grid point is lower than the standard elevation of the lot (usually the elevation of the road). For example, creating a basement will usually move the ground level below the road, so the elevation of those grid points will be negative.
  7. There is an optional underground level. To determine whether this level exists, check the minimum level of the lot in the WGRA Wall Graph. The only known underground level is the swimming pool; but an underground level can continue to exist even after the swimming pool has been removed.
    • If the underground level exists, then:
      • The minimum level specified in WGRA will be -1
      • Depth = 0 of the Array will contain the elevations of the underground level
      • Depth = 1 of the Array will contain the elevations of the ground level
    • Otherwise (default):
      • The minimum level specified in WGRA will be 0
      • Depth = 0 of the Array will contain the elevations of the ground level

  • Room ID from WGRA Array B
  • They are related to a closed room as data are added into them upon formation of a closed room.

Not all three will be used or marked when a given closed room is made. The raise in numeric value is accumulative dependent on how many times one is used along the history of undeleted closed rooms in a lot.
    • for instance, a wall1 room was made first, it happened all three were employed, then (1,1,1) resulted inside such room. Thirdly, a foundation block was made, (2,2,2) resulted for the inside of the foundation. Fourthly, a room of screen deck was made, (3,3,0) resulted inside the screen room.

  • This may be an occupancy array between story/levels and between grid lines, probably used for room occupancy. It seems to have West, North, East and South respectively as in the case of floor tile. This is also one of the differences between levelroom foundation wall and unlocked foundation wall; unlocked foundation wall caused no alteration on value in this file while levelroom foundation wall caused certain values to become "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF". Swim-pool caused "0x00000003" instead of "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF". levelroom foundation blocks also caused "0x00000000" from "0xFFFFFFFF". So far, it may explain why levelroom foundation wall still can have some bits of blockage property and tiling oddities.
  • If the data format is not Dword, Word would be the next potential format and NW, NE, SE and SW may be present.

  • This may be an array for the presentation of the horizontal plane(s) for the lot imposter, and it appears to affect non-levelroom partition-dependent build tools like wall and fence tools.

      • roof-tool-based roofs
  • Unbuildable
      • partitions including fences, fence-arch, wall 1 (default wall), unlocked walls of foundation wall, screen wall, attic wall; yet, Partitions like walls and fences can form as long as a ending side is at the pool border whether the cheat "moveobjects on" is used. Previously made walls remained.
      • floor tiles unbuildable or unpresented?
  • The cheat "moveobjects on" can initiate the presentation of grids on the road side.
  • Any newly introduced array values will remain 0x01; for example, those added by a swim-pool or an extra story/level.
