Description

Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) describing the features of your proposed design that you'd like to highlight here...

Echoing the Module 6 design intent, the “V” shape building is a modern office space in which the exterior of the building makes partial use of an enclosure because of the proximity to the other building. For sustainability purposes, daylight and wind analysis, the building characteristics lend well to having a positive influence on energy savings, indoor environment and overall health and well-being to the individuals working inside. Structurally, the building has columns, beam-girders and welded connections. The advantages of having a steel moment frame include lateral resistance (wind as a consideration for the case of Boston, not so much need for seismic in that region), aesthetic appeal and ease of open floor plans, fast construction potential, high strength to weight ratio and reduced cost.

Using ACC Model Coordination

  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.
