Tunnels?

[CaptainJack Grauman]

Are road and railway tunnels under high geography possible in SL? I have been through plenty such tunnels in the real world.

Underneath the base terrain level? No. You can't have anything with its origin below the terrain at that point, even if the terrain either side of it is lower.

The only solution is to lower the terrain level then build an artificial terrain over it, with the tunnel in that of course.

I know, I wanted to do something similar myself.

If you look on marketplace, there are mesh and sculpted kits you can get to make tunnels.

If you have a look underground in SL you will notice that the ground is just a thin shell without any thickness. There is nothing below the shell besides Linden water. Underground is an empty void. Therefore digging tunnels into SL ground is impossible - there is nothing in what to dig into. To be able to do so the ground should have volume, be solid.

Thus the only way to make tunnels would be to make them with prims or sculpties or mesh.

If you walk carefully - especially on sharp pointed high heels - there's nothing to worry. The shell is strong enough. :matte-motes-big-grin:

Some Linden road tunnels exist on the mainland. A long one is here: Linden route 9, at Seoraksan  56, 45, 42  go north.

Think of the land as a blanket between 2 chairs. There's nothing under the blanket. When you lower land your are lowering the blanket between the 2 points. To have a tunnel, you would have to put something over the dip, like the roof on a building. Hope that helps.
