This submission will receive two grades – one for the pinned up drawings set and the second for the organization of your Revit file.  Both your Revit file and a PDF of your sheets must be uploaded by Sunday 10/14 Midnight.  You PDF set can include blank sheets if you have placeholders for sheets you have not yet completed.  For the pinup please do not plot or pinup blank sheets.

General Requirements

• Proper filename.    FLastName-BldgName-BTech3FA18-King or -KingMay for afternoon
• Proper Titleblock – includes your photo and name in the top right corner.  Name must be large enough to be read clearly from 10 feet away when pinned up.

(A000) Cover Sheet

• Includes at least 1 3D image of your building
• Includes 2 separate drawings list – one for architectural and one for structural

(A100) Architectural Floor Plan Series

• 1/8″ scale plans are required.  Some projects may require but 1/16″ and 1/8″ partial plans to comply.
• Sheet size may vary from student to student.  Try to use 22 x 34.  If this does not work increase the sheet size – do not reduce the scale
• Include Grid Lines with dimensions
• Include exterior wall with windows and window tags.  Include exterior dimension strings for windows and exterior wall.
• No interior walls are required for this submission – we will start on this next.
• Make sure you get the first floor done completely – before you work on any other floors.  Each of you will be expected to complete at least 3 floors.  For this submission the minimum requirement is one plan.  (this will not earn you an A grade!)

(A200) Reflected Ceiling Plans (Not required for this submission)

(A300) Exterior Elevations and Building Sections

• Exterior Elevations do not show anything below level 1 – no foundations.
  • Include exterior wall and windows.
  • Include Levels and Grid Lines
• Architectural Sections (2 required)
  • Include the foundation
  • Include Levels and Grid Lines

(A400) Details (not required for this submission)

(S100) Structural Floor Plans

• Show only structural elements – not architectural
• Include grid lines and dimensions
• Show shafts and dimensions
• Include columns and beams with tags
• Show structural walls (foundations and shear walls)

(S200) Structural Building Sections (2 required)

• Show only structural elements – not architectural
• Include grid lines and dimensions
• Include columns and beams

Remember to use the proper view template for both the architectural and structural drawings.

 

As you begin to work on your building you will need to study the relationship between the facade, the slab and the column grid.  To answer this question you must begin to study how the facade of the building is made.  You can do this by researching similar details, researching your building, looking at manufacturers websites for reference materials and by reading from either the Ching book or the Allen/Iano book.

Each you must be able to answer the following questions in order to draw your slab correctly and locate you column grid correctly.

• Where is the face of the facade?
• Where is the edge of the slab?  (how far back from the face of the facade is the slab?)
• Where is the first line of columns and the first column grid located? (how far back from the face of the facade is the center of the first column?)

You should answer these questions by drawing your solution in your Revit model.  Create a callout view of the corner of the building at 1 1/2″ = 1′-0″ and add dimensions.

 

Moving forward as we work on our semester long building projects there will be a progress check grade almost every class.  These grades are marked complete/incomplete based on whether you meet the deadline or not.

The goal of these deadlines is to make certain you make weekly progress on the development of your buildings.  Deadlines are typically midnight the evening before a class meeting.  Late submissions of progress assignments will not be accepted.

The first three progress submissions will be as follows:

• Due 09/26          06.01 Building Grids & Levels
• Due 09/30          06.02 Building Slabs and Exterior Walls
• Due 10/03          06.03 Building Columns-Beams and Foundations
