thats make me feel sad  $%Grinno$% Im just a simple student that I dont have lots of knoledge in 3d architecture   ;D
ahh, but this is why we learn.
Anyway, love the progress.   &apls  I think the red roof fits more into the style of the building.  As for your question, dividing the model into seperate parts should make it easier and safer to export, that is less chance of crashing, (although longer and more tedious) but only do this if youre model is huge.  To test the size, create a simple lod encompassing the building, hide the actual building, and render the lod.  If it renders with success then you should be fine.  IT may take a while to get through the zoom fives, though.
In order to divide it into seperate parts, it's best to keep the model in the same location when done and to just make the lods different parts of the building (don't forget to rename the files once rendered, otherwise they may get erased) without centering them.  This way you could more easily reconstruct the building in LE.  Man, my spelling is terrible today, please excuse if there are any mistakes I didn't catch.

Coming up nicely!  &apls

Couple of points:
About food court.
That massive concrete wall cutting into it looks a bit odd, but that is a purelly matter of opinion.
But what is really wrong is the relationship between the glass part of the roof/dom and it's lattice. First of all I would suggest to add at list on subdivision to each segment of the lattice. Amount of geometry it would add will be negligible, but looks will improve significantly. But more importantly you should do something about the glass part. Not it is mimicking contiguous smooth surface, while it should be assembly of flat glass plates. Same goes for the "barrel" part as well.
Well sometimes they do use curved glass plates, but those are VERY expensive running into tens of thousands dollars per plate and normally used in most prestigious and posh of places, not a mall food courts...
With JC Penny/McD block - there is an issue with mapping. What did you use? Box mapping? I mean those seems between panels on the vertical bit og the wall do not match those on horizontal... You can actually remove seems from horizontal altogether but if they are still there  take a look at mapping.

Thats one nice looking structure.  Very impressed.

Presonally I like the concrete wall sticking out of the dome, it matches the others you have, and is an architectural statment.

Wow! I'm extremely impressed, this model looks great. So I have to ask...will this be a CAM growable?  ;D

Cheers,

I don't think so, the model exceed the 16 squares limit, so there will be two lots for this  ;D
