Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) describing the features of your proposed design that you'd like to highlight here...
Please note: I could only assign issues to myself. None of the TAs/Instructors showed up.
I structured my “PI”-shaped design from Module 6 for this assignment. The shape of the building is convenient and economical to build as it implements rectangular shapes and allows for easy division between residential, shopping and entertainment, and office/industrial areas. It naturally, creates a communal courtyard as well as two L-shaped open spaces that can used for parks or other outdoor activities such as an amphitheater. Structurally, the building uses a steel frame with concrete floors. Given that the original building was designed to meet square footage limits, the dimensions of the wings is slightly non-symmetric, and therefore, some grid-lines are not equidistant as some others. However, all columns are spaced within 19’ to 25’ apart so that a similar style beam can be used in the framing. The three primary issues are 1) the window spacing and column spacing clash, 2) the braces do not connect well at the endpoints, and 3) the window supports go through the wall braces.
Using ACC Model Coordination
- Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on ACC Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.
- Use the modules pull-down menu to switch to the Model Coordination tool.
- Pull-down the coordination spaces menu (beneath the account login), and choose your personal Coordination Space.
- Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
- 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.
- Click the Issues button in the left navigation bar to display the saved issues.
- Click the Create Issue button to create a new one.
- Click a location in the model viewer to place a push pin.
- Enter info for this issue:
- Change the Type to Design
- Enter a Title
- Assign the issue to our CA
- Click the Create button to save your issue and send it to the assignee.
- Repeat these steps to create three issues sharing interesting viewpoints within your merged models.
