Description

My structural module consists of the same structure as module 6 consisting of four base floors (5 structural floors) of a U-shape revealing an open courtyard space. The fifth and sixth floors (sixth and seventh structural floors) consist of rectangles on top of the parallel sides of the U-shape. Finally, the seventh and eighth floors (eighth and ninth structural floors) align atop the fifth and sixth floors but with a shorter span past the connecting base. The structure as a whole is similar to a stair system with the low base leading to a taller mass through different levels, in this case, three. Most of the columns are distanced between 20-30 feet to allow for equal weight distribution with corresponding beams between them. In addition, all of the columns and beams are placed along created grid lines and thus perpendicular to others.

  6. Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
  7. 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.
  8. Repeat these steps to create three issues sharing interesting viewpoints within your merged models.
