That would be a pretty sweet soundstage to tour. I can't believe they went to that expense for a show that was likely a one-off.

I get why most sets get dumped at the end of a show. Its real estate. I seem to recall a kickstater of a guy that salvaged one of the Enterprise Bridges and is trying to restore it. Could be the same one from Vegas.

As cool as it would be to walk onto a real set, the virtual reconstruction actually has me more excited. This is something, that one day I should be able to load up on my computer and I could explore every nook and cranny to my heart's content. If done well, imagine following a Jeffries tube to see where it ends up. Or see if you really can get to Deck 4 via the Jeffries tube from ten forward?

Here's another idea. What if the next big sci-fi story has the set already built virtually? The cost to do this would not be huge as set design already requires CAD drawings and most of these have gone 3d. I work in 3d with Revit or Sketchup as often as I do in 2D CAD, this is the way the industry is going. So as they are designing and physically building the set, they have another guy building everything virtually as well.

Before the show comes out, you could even invite fans to virtually tour the ship to generate excitement for the show. Even leave some clues lying around for things that will appear in the show. This way before anybody has even seen a single episode the ship environment starts to feel as familiar to the potential fans as the Enterprise does to its fans.
