Description

My model is a “U” shaped building with steel construction. The face of the building has curtain walls to capture the sunlight. For structural support, my building has structural columns, beams, beam systems, and piles. I elected to use longer piles for San Francisco to support the building on what can be unstable terrain, given unstable soil layers that can be a result of proximity to the ocean or earthquakes. I chose steel as my construction material over wood because of steel’s durability. Given the high possibility of fires in the Bay Area and rot due to humidity since San Francisco is on the coast, I chose steel as the superior construction material.

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.
