Design memo of 300 to 400 words: what survived the handoff, what you rebuilt, what assembly choices you made and why, and where Revit and Forma disagreed.
For the hand off I did not change the amount of levels I had or the square footage. I did change the orientation of my building in Forma before the hand off happened in revit. I just could not sleep with the fact that a whole side to my building had little daylight exposure. After admiring my rendering I noticed that the AI flipped my building and rotated it because I had given it the back of my building to look at. Now that I realized the rotation fixes a few problems and that the courtyard was supposed to be an accessible community space, also that the commercial level is on the first floor. I decided to rotate the orientation of my building to have the courtyard face the outside. Most things from my hand off survived since I was satisfied with how my buildings looked overall. However, I had to change all my stairs and rebuild them in revit which took a long time. I also rebuilt some floors since they disappeared when I uploaded them to revit for some reason, and finally I rebuilt the walls with the correct r-value assemblies.
For both my buildings I had the same wall assemblies where the bottom floor had the commercial assembly/ podium assembly and the upper floors had a residential assembly. My podium assembly consists of a brick outer layer, an air barrier, a glass batt insulation and then the CMU. My residential assemblies consisted of a fiber cement outer finish, an air barrier, glass batt insulation, a vapor barrier, plywood sheathing, and metal stud layer in between. I did the metal studs because my building is taller than 5 stories, it is actually a 5 story building and also an 8 story building so I decided to build it out of steel. For my green roof, I found an assembly online and found materials in Revit that best matched what the online assembly displayed. For example, for vegetation I used grass, for soil I used earth, and for insulation I used rigid exterior insulation, and for the concrete I used cast in-place concrete etc. I changed all my window glazings on the south facing side (mostly) since my building was at an angle to a lower emissivity glazing and the other windows although were still double glazed had a higher emissivity rate.
Finally, Revit and Forma disagreed when it came to my stairs, it was very prevalent that my stairs were not aligned when I went from a taller podium level to the second floor which was shorter. And I also did not have elevator shafts that were imported.
