Description

The spacious office building that I designed features 22 stories, 2 staircases, and a unique design. The top three floors are offset from the rest of the structure, giving the building an interesting look. I added foundations to the first floor to provide structural integrity. There are braces to help support the columns near the shaft openings/staircases. I added beam systems as well to support the building.

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.

3. Pull-down the coordination spaces menu (beneath the account login), and choose your personal Coordination Space.

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.
