Created by Rick Sternbach, this publication contains a collection of large-format blueprints of the interior and exterior of the USS Enterprise-D. They catalog every deck of the ship, and also including exterior views and a side-view cutaway. A booklet discussing the blueprints is also included.
Rick Sternbach said that his team used several methods to create the blueprints. First they had to gather material, so they went to the archives of the Star Trek: The Next Generation art department, where they found plans and drawings of the various sets created for the show. They also collected exterior drawings and photos to see how the ship had changed from its conception to its destruction in Star Trek Generations.[citation needed]
They also transferred the ink-drawings of the exterior of the ship, which had been used in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual, to the computer for greater detail since the plans were going to be printed in this case.[citation needed]
