A quick visual update on how things are going with 3D modeling the library. Keep in mind that I can only work on this one day out of the week, and about fifty percent of that time was spent on measurements and calculations. So far everything is turning out really nicely.

A few measurement notes for the curious:
1 unit = 1 inch.
Initial measurements are based on the size of a pony, and all other measurements are based on the initial measurements.
Inside measurements trump outside measurements (unless the feature is only visible from the outside).

All ponies are the same size (with the exception of Twilight in Season 4).
- Height (Bottom of hoof to top of head, not including ears) = 52" tall = 4.33'
- Height was defined near beginning of Ponyville project by Scraticus using the apple system: thinkingwithponies.blogspot.co…
- Length (Front of torso to rear, not including head or tail) = 24" long = 2'
- Width of head (torso is even smaller) = 18" = 1.5'
- Length and Width were calculated by me by averaging several screenshots worth of ratios between height and length/width
-tl;dr - Ponies are ridiculously skinny...

Height of pony = 6.5 stairs
A stair is 8" tall, 44" or 3.66' wide, and 14.25" deep.
This means the gap between the inner wall and the outer wall is also 44 inches due to the stairwell.
(I've arbitrarily added another 4 inches of bark/wood between the outer wall and the outer-outer wall as this should be more than enough space to fit windows / doors / provide insulation.)

All bookshelves are 11 stairs tall = 88" = 7'4", but vary in width, with 64" being the largest width and 48" being the smallest.

Entranceway height = 82" (1 inch above ground floor and 5 below bookshelf height)
Entranceway width was set to about 1.5 times the width of the widest bookshelves (64 + 32 + 12 = 108" = 9' | 64 = width of bookcase, 32 = 0.5 width, and 12 = the standard buffer size between bookcases).
Entranceway depth is 44" (Same as stair width)

Front door height = 67" = 5'7" (Measurement based on pony size | Door height = ~82% of entranceway arch height)
Front door width = 43.5" = 3'7.5" (0.5 inches shorter than the depth of the entranceway. Pure serendipity!)
Front door lower half height = 22" = 1'10"

Ceiling is 161.5" tall = 13'5.5" = 20 stairs tall
Distance between top of bookshelves and ceiling = 73.5" = 6'1.5" = 9 steps
Distance between the landing and the ceiling = 49.5" = 4'1.5" = 6 steps
