Image of My Model
Description
The architect, Modula Síx, was very ambitious in her design that separated the outdoor spaces of TwitBook’s new Phoenix headquarters across a mix of private and public spaces over 4 floors. The structural architect, Mod-julius Sevan, was not happy with this challenge and suggests a new design: one that repeats the same floor plan of Modula’s initial first floor, copied onto the 2nd and 3rd floor plans. Instead of small, dispersed patio spaces, the structural engineer hopes that the 4th floor can be converted into an open-air “mega patio” for all TwitBook employees to enjoy and collaborate on with unobstructed, panoramic views of the Phoenix skyline and Camelback Mountain. In the model coordination, you can see where Modula’s and Mod-julius’ designs clash. You can also see where they agree, such as the E-shaped form/mass of the building.
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.
