Description

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

My proposed structural design is straightforward, but it incorporates a unique tapered building form where each floor is dedicated to a specific function. I increased the amount of windows and curtain wall glazing on all levels to maximize natural sunlight and strengthen the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Structurally, I minimized interior columns to create open, flexible floor plates suitable for collaborative work and social areas. When longer spans are required, I plan to use trusses to maintain openness without adding vertical supports. The core, shafts, and ground-floor foundation are supported with strategically placed beams, while the remaining columns and beams follow a simple, efficient grid layout. Overall, this approach results in a clean, adaptable structure that aligns with the building’s daylight-driven architectural vision.

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.
  2. Use the modules pull-down menu to switch to the Model Coordination tool.

  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.
