Description

The structure is made out of different steel framing and other aspects that define the structure. I added quite a bit of foundation on the walls, a complete slab, and on each column to ensure proper structural practices. I decided to use steel since a building with many floors needs to be welded and with proper cement work at the bottom in order to avoid the aspect of wind or other outside factors. I has some circular components that had to be changed in order to be able to properly model the structure, so my previous design from module 6 isn’t completely displayed. There was some problems with overall structure since I had to add braces in order to better help the structure.

Using ACC Model Coordination

  1. Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on ACC Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.

  4. Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
  5. Open the new view, and use the ACC Model Coordination environment to navigate to an interesting camera viewpoint. Then, create an Issue to share this viewpoint.
    1. Click the Issues button in the left navigation bar to display the saved issues.
    2. Click the Create Issue button to create a new one.
    3. Click a location in the model viewer to place a push pin.
    4. Enter info for this issue:
      • Change the Type to Design
      • Enter a Title
      • Assign the issue to our CA
    5. Click the Create button to save your issue and send it to the assignee.
  6. Repeat these steps to create three issues sharing interesting viewpoints within your merged models.
