Description

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

My initial office design was a large, twisting, spiral with no straight walls. To untwist the walls for the sake of simplicity would have resulted in a very boring blocky building, so instead I decided to design a whole new building. The most challenging part of this building’s structure were that there were a significant number of overhangs. The overhangs were too large to rely on a simple cantilever, so I ended up using diagonal columns to create truss-esque structures to support the overhangs. While this works, it’s definitely not the most visually appealing. I would be curious to know if there was a better way to keep the extra support internal, so the building’s shape isn’t obstructed.

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.
