Tools/hero_facade_build.py builds the north elevation parametrically and writes a JSON report naming the evidence behind every part: the 25.75 m frontage and 14.5 m height are measured, the 4.96 m column bay comes from the sibling notes and matches that frontage, the three portal flights follow the photographs (five risers, overturning the inherited eight-step, 12 m wide claim), and the rest is labelled assumption. Tools/ue_hero_facade_import.py imports it with the ue_metric_v1 preset (2604 x 1257 x 1450 cm, 1892 tris, 4 materials) and places it on the measured building line of /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap. Two new review shots at review-04 and review-05, both pending approval. Camera placement cost four renders: the first two sat inside the facade body, and the frontage faces Unreal -Y, so a camera has to stand at Y < -1450 cm, not north of the building line in project terms.

"""Parametric hero façade: 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre.

|
Builds the north elevation in the project frame (X east, Y north, Z up, metres,
|
|
origin Hollywood x Highland) and exports it with the named FBX preset
|
|
`ue_metric_v1`, so it imports into Unreal at 1 m = 100 uu.

Every dimension traces to a recorded measurement or a named assumption; the
|
|
report writes both, so a later pass can see what was evidence and what was
|
|
invented:
|
|
|
|
width 25.75 m measured, OSM way 424024147 north edge
|
|
height 14.50 m tag `height` on the same way
|
|
6 columns, 4.96 m sibling venue notes, cross-checked against the 25.75 m
|
|
frontage (5 bays + one column = 25.70 m)
|
|
three portals photographs: three separate openings, each with its own
|
|
short flight, not one 12 m grand stair
|
|
everything else assumption, listed in the report
|
|
|
|
Quieter choices are deliberate: a blockout for the demo, not a scanned facade.
|
|
Detail that the photographs do not resolve (moulding profiles, window rhythm)
|
|
is left abstract rather than invented in fine detail.
