Measure load-bearing capacity in SU

Unfortunately, John McClenahan and I are trying to accurately measure the stress and make sure the beams will hold up under millions of tons of sheer forces; the building is now getting to the point where it has to be more real than just a model in Sketch-Up, no matter how realistic looking. 3 Architects have said it is feasible, but I need to get more careful structural analysis done, either by them - or a major Engineering firm I have met with - or someone else, but I thought I would see what can be done in SU too.
Here is the complete building, in situ. The surrounding buildings were done by Placemaker. Some of the street connections are not right, but these will have to be adjusted many times I’m sure, should this become real. I am actively pitching it now.
