I don't know or care about elevators and they don't matter
Here is a scaled drawing you did of your core some time ago. This drawing is based upon information you said you got from the documentary you saw. It is a drawing at the lobby level of WTC1.

The drawing above shows an inside rectangular dimension of 80' x 120'. Also note that at the lobby level, the short axis wall is 17' thick and the long axis wall is 12' thick. The next drawing is a scaled drawing I did using Chris dimensions. This shows the two banks of express elevators and all 24 LOCAL elevators. The red rectangles are the express elevators and the blue rectangles are the local elevators.

Now keep in mind the following when looking at my drawing. I STILL have not added the location of the 16' wide skylobby hallway on the 1st, 44th, and 78th floors. This hallway HAS to be positioned right next to the back of express elevators not only for people to exit into when reaching the 47th floor, but so that it didn't interfere with the express elevators that continued on to the higher floors. Also not that the there was a second 17' wide hallway on the next skylobby for the other bank of express elevators. The two 16' wide hallways were offset from one another. Chris even admitted this.
There were also three stairwells in the core.
Also note that the express elevators (red rectangles) had access doors on BOTH sides. One to enter from the lobby level and one to exit into the skylobby hallway. Look at my drawing. How in the hell did people get AROUND to the express elevator access doors that were against the wall when there is only about 2' clearance????
How do I fit the two 16' wide skylobby hallways into the core so as not to interfere with the two banks of express elevator shafts?
How does it all fit Chris? It can't!!!!!!!
Impossible.
So please. Tell me what I am getting wrong dimensionally and I'll fix it.
As of right now, your core theory is looking quite dead.
Try it yourself Chris. You can't make it work.
Here is a drawing I did to show how the hallways were laid out. This represents the 16' skylobby hallways on the 1st floor and 44th floors. It also includes the smaller perpendicular hallway located on other floors.

As you can see, since the hallways take up space for the express elevator shafts, they HAD to go where Chris puts his concrete core walls making it a physical impossibility.
Here is a picture of the 16' wide hallway on the 1st floor. The blue rectangle is the hallway. The red rectangle is where a back of express elevators is located. Where would his 12' thick core wall go????

Here is the 44th floor 17' wide skylobby hallway. PROOF that the hallway directly accessed the express elevators on the right.

You've got a MAJOR problem Chris.
