Description

Enter a brief paragraph (5 to 7 sentences) describing the features of your proposed design that you'd like to highlight here...

I created a simpler building model for this module, consisting of 3 rectangles of increasing height and floor space, totaling slightly under 125000SF built-up area in total. The main gravity system of the building is concrete on metal deck with steel beams and columns. The main lateral system consists of shear wall cores surrounding the elevator and stair shafts. For added rigidity, the walls separating the restrooms and mechanical shafts are also to be designed as shear walls. The smallest building on the right does not have a staircase or elevator core to reduce demand on its already small floor space, but this might raise safety concerns. Its core is simply that of the mechanical shaft as well as the restrooms. The three "buildings" are actually completely open to each other (varying heights notwithstanding). The foundations are isolated footings under the columns and mat foundations under the cores.

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.
