Building Technology II ARCH2331, FA2020

Question:
I wanted to ask if this seems right? It is 14” as you told me it would be but It seems small to me. The space is small.

Response:
Are you talking about the cantilever dormer? You are welcome to have it cantilever out more the 14” # is just a rough number. The important part for drawings set that is coordinated; so your elevations and sections and plans of reflect the same cantilever size.

Question:
I just want to make sure what we are going to pin up for next class (3/18 or 3/19). If it is only the Footings & structural basement plan.

Response:
The pinup should consist of two pages:

• one page containing the “Joist layout plan” & “Basement structure including footings”
• page two “Ground floor plan” & “Stud plan”

Question:

I am having a really hard time scaling the pdfs in the paper space I scale the photos to the right height in the model mode using the scale bar at the bottom of each of the maps and its not scaling correctly on paper space but i need to print them out before class so I don’t know what to do.

Recommendation:

Because the PDF imports at a small scale I recommend that you do it mathematically first to get a rough scale up factor and then use the reference scale tool to get the PDF to scale properly.

Example:

• step one: Scale 600 times
• step two: Scale reference

Professor I’m having trouble making my PDF, I can’t see some of my work and I also I can’t see part of the title block information. I don’t know why I checked many times to see what’s wrong it and it comes out the same.

There are some techniques you can try:
Open or type plot to access the dialog box.
Follow the instructions in this PDF:

Alternatively, you may want to try setting your layout to window so you can select the elves in the corner to select the exact area for printing.

iii. 3D model views (at least 3 views extracted from the 3d model)
all major structural elements should be included no walls nonstructural walls required (you’re welcome to do a second 3-D massing which shows the wall) include an outline showing how the penthouse is located compared to the rest of the building.

Please model all the slabs, columns and other structural components.

Some strategies to consider:
Import your AutoCAD file into your rhino model with your gridlines.
Use the gridlines to extrude your columns
Attach the section to the back of your drawing determine the height of the columns.
Use additional images of floorplans to support developing the other floors.
Your primary reference should be the section perspective and the project photographs.
In your pictures express your understanding of the building structure and its floor levels.
Add your pictures as attachments to a new AutoCAD sheet.

Hello professor, the section image that I’ve been using on autocad wont download properly on rhino it keeps appearing black everytime.

I would try importing the picture into one of the orthogonal views like front or right as opposed to the perspective you that may help. Also consider reducing the size of the Image file. There might be a loading error if you AutoCAD file has the same image referenced into the drawing, remove the image from the attached AutoCAD file in your drawing 3-D model.

You can receive extra credit for attending the departments AUTOCAD WORKSHOPS. Simply inform the instructor that you would like the credit and that you are a Building Technology II student and the instructor will let us know of your participation in the workshop.

Question:
On Monday you spoke about a submission for today to include PDFs for site plan, structural plan and floor plan. I was not seeing an area in blackboard to do the submission.

Additionally, Prof A(ptekar) mentioned on Thursday to include the column grid lines on the floor plan and you (Prof. Ronfini) had stated otherwise. As such I wanted to seek clarity as to how it is supposed to be done and if we are still to make a submission this evening.

• The Assessment appears on my blackboard? If anybody else is having trouble with us please let us know right away.
• You may submit floor plan with or without Gridline for full credit. I recommend including them on your floor plans.

Prof. A. Aptekar

Your submittal should consist of three auto CAD files as follows:

1. Site Maps
2. Structural Grid

iii. Floor Plan (varies depending on the level you are doing)

For the “Site Maps” part import three different map image files at three different scales.

Per your emails requests to me to changes to deliverables that are now due at 9 PM and have posted some class notes. See the open lab section “lecture notes”
