Description
Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) describing the features of your proposed design that you'd like to highlight here...
The key challenge for my model is that the roof systems are very complex and in curvy shapes. I tried to create trusses to attach to the roof but for some reason, I can't copy the roof from the linked model nor can I choose the roof when I try to attach the trusses. After searching online for possible solutions, I found no videos or articles regarding this issue. Because of the uniqueness of the roof, I basically redesigned each floor to make sure that the structural components are supporting all of the floors.
Using BIM 360 Model Coordination
- Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on BIM 360 Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.
- Switch to the Model Coordination tool.
- Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
- Open the new view, and use the BIM 360 model viewing 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 Wilfrido Martinez
- 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.
