Description
In my design, I had to take into consideration the stairwells and the circular cylinders on the adjacent parts of the building. These structurally are a little funky, but I wasn't sure how else to necessarily model them correctly. I think that in the end the model coordination was helpful in visualizing the structural components of the model, something that I did not imagine before. There are a lot of beams, and I also left the beams exposed in the cut out entranceway to add a sense of flow to the building.
Using BIM 360 Model Coordination
- Upload your architectural and structural models to your folder on BIM 360 Documents, then copy them into the subfolder named Coordination Space.
- Switch to the Model Coordination tool.
- Create a new View that merges a 3D view from both your architectural and structural models.
- 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.
- Click the Issues button in the left navigation bar to display the saved issues.
- Click the Create Issue button to create a new one.
- Click a location in the model viewer to place a push pin.
- Enter info for this issue:
- Change the Type to Design
- Enter a Title
- Assign the issue to Wilfrido Martinez
- Click the Create button to save your issue and send it to the assignee.
- Repeat these steps to create three issues sharing interesting viewpoints within your merged models.
