Prof. King – Final Upload for Grading to Blackboard

Hi everyone, we made it through and you all should be proud of what you have accomplished. To finish out the semester please be sure to complete the following tasks:

  • Upload your presentation from Tuesday/Thursday to OpenLab so everyone can see them.  I prefer images of your sheets and not PDF’s as they can be seen in the post.  For the powerpoint you can upload this as a PDF.  Be sure to categorize it under .Final Presentations > Prof. King plus your name.
  • Email be both of your Jury sheets from this week.  This counts as class participation and I like to take your comments and grading into account before handing out final grades.

The final submission to be posted on Blackboard is due by Sunday May 24th at Midnight.  This should include your PDF/Still animation, a PDF of all your plotted sheets and any files you used to create the final work including your Revit or Powerpoint files.  Your families are embedded inside your Revit files so they do not need to be uploaded separately.

It took a while but the last video from Thursdays class is now uploaded in our dropbox folder.  It is available for your viewing.

Good luck to everyone.

Prof. King

Please Post Final Presentations Here

Please post your final presentations here on OpenLab by 2 pm today for Tuesdays group and 2 pm Thursday for that days presentations.  You will all have an opportunity to make minor changes and post your final work for grading to blackboard by Friday May 22nd midnight.

To present today you will likely have two PDF files – one for your sheets and one for the Fixed Animation PowerPoint.  I ask that here you post the plotted sheets as individual  images so they are visible.  The PowerPoint can be one file with a link.

Extended Student Trial Software – Snagit Screen Capture

We have arranged for students to be granted an extended free license of Snagit screen capture software.  This is the best and fasted method of creating the fixed image animations.

Tuesday Presentation Deadline! – King

Now is the time to push yourself.  The harder you work from today until the Tuesday the easier the rest of the semester will be.  If anyone wants a one-on-one crit this weekend or Monday please email me.  Good luck!

For Tuesday we will have a graded preliminary pinup presentation.  You need to complete the layout of both your opaque wall and your glass curtain wall as well as develop “still image” animations showing assembly in PowerPoint.

For this presentation you should evaluate both horizontal and vertical formatting for your sheets.  Please refer to the previous post on the breakout assignment from Thursday. Here is a suggested methodology.

  1. In your project file choose the vertical format.

    • Create the necessary views for both the opaque and glass facades and arrange these images on the sheets.  You are likely to need to sheets for each.  Pay attention to the appropriate scale and the need to have coordinated plan, section, elevation and isometric views.
    • Save your file.
  2. Make a copy of your project file using “Save_as” or by copying the file.

    • In the copy switch the sheet types from Vertical to Horizontal.  Next re-arrange the same views on the Horizontal sheets.

If when you are attempting a layout you realize that is may not work well you can show images running slightly off the sheet or somewhat incomplete.

Your Presentation Includes

  • 4 sheets in vertical format (2 opaque/2 glass)
  • 4 sheets in horizontal format (2 opaque/2 glass)
  • PowerPoint Presentation with “still image animations”
    • One for Opaque
    • One for Glass Curtain Wall

Please remember to post your virtual  presentation on OpenLab

Select Category for your name, and under Presentations select Facade Preliminary
