Image of My Model
Description
In this structural model, most of the structural elements were designed to provide a simplistic feel to the original architectural model. Since the geometry of the conceptual model is still quite simplistic, it was easy to build a basic framing system for the model, which is pretty similar within each floor. Since structural walls were neglected in the structural model, isolated pile foundations were utilized to support the structural columns. For the structural bracing system, only the most important areas received bracing, such as the corners of the building which are more susceptible to torsion due to heavy winds. The bracing was also included in the areas with exterior glazing facades in the architectural model to create a geometric design that could be aesthetically pleasing to the building’s occupants.
Using ACC Model Coordination
***Link to Coordination Spaces folder in ACC provided in ACC Link - Op 2 property***
- 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.
