The prompt

Create a detailed miniature 3D CAD model of the **Alhambra Palace in Granada, Spain**, divided into exactly **4 separate, interlocking pieces** for 3D printing and packaging. ### 1. Overall dimensions - Total footprint: 115 mm × 115 mm. - Maximum total height: 30 mm. - The completed assembly must fit within these dimensions. - Use millimeters for all measurements. ### 2. Division into four pieces Divide the palace into four approximately equal quadrants using two perpendicular vertical cutting planes through the center of the model. Each section should have approximate dimensions of: - Length: 57.5 mm. - Width: 57.5 mm. - Maximum height: 30 mm. Each piece must be an independent solid that can be printed separately and placed flat inside an individual 115 mm × 115 mm packaging box. ### 3. Architectural features Reproduce recognizable architectural characteristics of the Alhambra Palace, including: - Traditional Islamic and Moorish architectural styling. - Decorative horseshoe arches. - Repeating geometric ornamental patterns. - Courtyard structures and surrounding palace walls. - Small columns and arcades. - Characteristic towers and rooflines. - Intricate but printable facade details. Prioritize recognizable architectural features over excessive surface complexity. ### 4. Connection system Create an integrated mechanical alignment system between the four sections. - Use cylindrical alignment pegs and matching recessed sockets. - Include at least two alignment connections along each joining edge where sufficient space allows. - Use approximately 2.5 mm diameter pegs. - Use approximately 2.7 mm diameter sockets. - Peg insertion depth: 3 mm. - Ensure pegs and sockets do not interfere with decorative architectural features. - Ensure all four sections can be assembled without requiring external fasteners. ### 5. CAD and manufacturing requirements - Generate exactly four separate solid bodies. - Preserve the original overall dimensions after assembly. - Avoid disconnected decorative geometry. - Ensure all four pieces are manifold, watertight solids. - Avoid extremely thin walls and fragile architectural details. - Make all alignment connections compatible with FDM 3D printing. - Ensure the four pieces fit together accurately without overlapping geometry. - Keep the bottom surfaces flat for reliable printing. ### 6. Final output Generate: 1. The complete assembled Alhambra Palace model. 2. Four individually separated CAD components. 3. A clear exploded view showing how the four sections connect. 4. A top view showing the four-piece division. 5. Dimension labels for each individual piece. The final assembly must measure 115 mm × 115 mm × 30 mm maximum. The four individual pieces must remain separate and independently printable.
