Thursday November 12th (due for Tuesday Oct 17th)

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)
