Description

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

Based on my architectural design from the last module, I built the structural system using columns, beams, and frames. I used W12x40 columns across all floors of the building, with a range of distance of 20ft to 30 ft in between the columns. I used W12x26 beams to connect the columns, with W8x10 beams filling in the frame system in between the beams. For foundation, I used slabs, walls, and footings per the module to support my building. The shafts within the buildings are supported using foundation and shear walls.

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.

    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.
