About the Manitoba Legislative Building
In central Winnipeg stands the Manitoba Legislative Building, where the province's Legislative Assembly meets. Its first name was the Manitoba Parliament Building. Offices for the Lieutenant Governor and for the Executive Council are inside as well, and it is Manitoba's twelfth provincial heritage site. The building was completed in 1920.
The design is neoclassical with Beaux-Arts styling, and the building is 77 meters (253 ft) high. On top of the cupola sits the Golden Boy, a bronze statue covered in gold and styled after Mercury, the Roman god. Henry Boddington III and Frank Worthington Simon were responsible for the design and construction of the building, assisted by further masons and a large number of skilled craftsmen.
In 1911 the government of Manitoba called a design competition, open to any architect from within the British Empire. Of 67 entries, the design by Simon, who had studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, was picked. Construction got under way in summer 1913, using Tyndall stone quarried at Garson, Manitoba. Labor and funding shortages from the First World War, and labor unrest in the Winnipeg General Strike, stretched construction to almost 7 years.

- Dome, cupola and finial
- The dome, the cupola above it and the thin finial at the very top are the delicate parts. Print slowly with good cooling; Print friendly adapts the thinnest points to the print scale, while Full detail keeps them at larger sizes.
- One piece with the ground
- The Manitoba Legislative Building is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The Manitoba Legislative Building takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
