The Intertank Service Structure is done sans the metal grating and hand rails of the lower-most level:

To close-out all work on the ISS, all I need to do is to add the actual GH2 vent line.

GLS: If you're not too busy, could you add the raised Camera Sites to both pads? The Camera Sites are the elliptical areas inside the actual pad perimeters and they're raised above the actual pad 0 elevation.

On hold for an indefinite amount of time. Not sure when I'll be able to get back to it.

The work you did, is it compatible with me taking the existing FSS/RSS and merging the "1985" and the "non-1985" meshes into one? I'd like to do that for a couple of reasons: (1) less disk space usage, (2) possibility to create a 1986 pad (RBUS+OWP), a 1988 version (OWP), a 1983/2 version (no RBUS porch), a 1981 with the original GVA GOX pipes, and maybe 2 199X versions for the crane changes.

If you mean, then yes. Taking a look at the new FSS/RSS it looks like I didn't make anything permanent except for the +Y OWP structure on the RSS.

This work would only envolve putting groups into single meshes, and then use the code to show/hide as needed. This leaves out a 1981 version... but it was only one flight so. :shrug:

There is no point in me cleaning any hidden triangles, as the current meshes will all go in the bin, right?

Not true. The extension structure that the +Y OWP Curtain Wall hangs off wasn't added to the 39A RSS until STS-32 in 1990 (first launch from 39A since STS-61C in January 1986). The 39B RSS had the extension structure for STS-51L but not the actual wall. It was added sometime between January 1986 and October 1986 when Atlantis was transported to 39B for OWP fit checks and launch team proficiency exercises.

The first flow to make use of the complete OWP system was STS-26R.

My ideia wasn't to make every single pad version, but just the major alterations, otherwise there would be dozens of versions. :facepalm:
