## About

Free 3D model of an open sided hypostyle bay for a desert mosque prayer hall: a column, two half arches crowning on the bay joints, cedar beams and a flat roof. Dimensions 3.05 by 4.42 by 3.00 m (X by Y by Z). Metre units, +Y up, +Z front, origin on the footprint at ground level. Connectors: left (hall) at (-1.50, 0.00, 0.00) facing (-1, 0, 0); right (hall) at (1.50, 0.00, 0.00) facing (1, 0, 0); front (hall) at (0.00, 0.00, 1.50) facing (0, 0, 1); back (hall) at (0.00, 0.00, -1.50) facing (0, 0, -1); roof (roof) at (0.00, 4.42, 0.00) facing (0, 1, 0). Hall module, 3 m square, open on all four sides. The arch halves crown on the bay joints, so a row of bays reads as a complete arcade with a column every 3 m, and rows butt on the same grid to fill a hall of any depth. Add a freestanding prayer hall column at the open end of a row. Arch springing 2.20 m, crown 3.85 m, roof 4.42 m. Invented throughout: no real mosque, madrasa, city, institution or identifiable building is reproduced. Every pattern on it is an abstract geometric or interlace repeat, with no inscription, calligraphy or writing of any script, and there is no figurative depiction of a person or an animal anywhere in this pack. Desert palette: sandstone ashlar and darker stone, lime plaster, cobalt and turquoise glaze, cedar, split cane, brass, wrought iron, sand and courtyard green. Static geometry; no rig, animation, collision or navigation data.

import bpy
bpy.ops.import_scene.gltf(filepath='model.glb')  # from https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38094/v1/model.glb
# Metres and +Y up are converted to Blender's Z-up scene automatically.
```

## Godot

```gdscript
# Godot 4: copy model.glb into res://models/ and the editor imports it as a scene.
var packed := load("res://models/model.glb") as PackedScene

```csharp
// Unity: import model.glb with glTFast (Package Manager: com.unity.cloud.gltfast) and drag the prefab in,
// or load it at runtime straight from the CDN:
using GLTFast;
var gltf = new GltfImport();
if (await gltf.Load("https://cdn.3dassets.dev/assets/38094/v1/model.glb")) await gltf.InstantiateMainSceneAsync(transform);
