Are you putting in enough effort?

All Videos are posted (link)

Due for next class:

  • Add steel columns and beams to your models
  • Create a typical curtain wall panel (unitized or windowall)
    • Dimensions are from Center-line to Center-line of the joints between panels.
    • For Stick create your typical horizontal and vertical mullion. Dimensions are from the Center of the mullions.
    • Add parameters as needed.
  • Create a slab edge connector (look at Halfen options)
  • Layout your curtain wall on the facade model – level 1 to the roof and all 4 sides of the elevation so you can study the inside and outside corner conditions
  • Search for the detail catalog cuts for the inside and outside corners for your system – add this to your research sheet or create a new research sheet if you do not have enough room.
  • Create a typical solid panel
    • Remember dimensions are typically from center-line to center-line of joints.
    • Add parameters as needed
    • Layout your panel on the facade
      • Layout horizontally to form the inside and outside corners
      • Research your system to find details of inside and outside corners and add this to your research
      • Layout your panels vertically across the facade and up to the top of the parapet
      • How will the Window fit into your system?
      • Will you need a makeup panel or other item to get the horizontal or vertical dimensions to work
  • Remember that my demonstrations used generic dimensions – you need to determine the proper dimensions for your system by completing research.
  • POST IN MIRO
    • Include the updated first sheets and your research.
    • Begin to layout the second level of views for your system at a larger scale
      • (remember to work to create the 4 views – plan, elevation, section, isometric)
