Description

The design for the Twitbook headquarters is fully consisted of concrete structural elements. This allows for the consistency in construction material and for the use of circular columns which fits the floor plan well. Since the exterior walls of the building tapers, the beams on the edges of the floors cantilever in order to support the excess space while the first two floors have extra exterior columns since the floor is largest on those levels. Isolated, wall and slab foundations are used to support the building

Using BIM 360 Model Coordination

1. Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on BIM 360 Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.
2. Switch to the Model Coordination tool.
3. Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
4. 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.
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 Wilfrido Martinez
5. Click the Create button to save your issue and send it to the assignee.
5. Repeat these steps to create three issues sharing interesting viewpoints within your merged models.
