Description

The project above is the structural frame of a 12-story building. The building is made up of steel and has chevron braces for more architectural accessibility. The chevron braces are placed on each side of the building thus resisting lateral loads from every orthogonal direction. The structure uses bays made up of girders and beams in-between. Girders were spaced at approximately 24 to 27 feet and beams at 8 to 9 feet. The framing also takes into account the stair shafts of the building. The building uses square footings at the bottom of each column for an effective load transfer to the ground.

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.
2. Use the modules pull-down menu to switch to the Model Coordination tool.

3. Pull-down the coordination spaces menu (beneath the account login), and choose your personal 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.
