Feedback Review: I have added feedback to all of your sheets (orange notes) from the Scavenger Hunt in addition to the feedback we reviewed together in class. Please review all of your comments from your classmates and myself and let me know if you have any questions. You may also look at other people’s feedback to see how you will be evaluated.

Due for Tuesday – Posted in MIRO (No Brightspace submission):

  • Pinup of updated Steel Stair Sheets SH-06 (4 overall views), SH-07 (4 detail views) and any new research – SH-05.1, SH-05.2, etc.
    • These are the minimum requirements. If more sheets, views, details are needed to explain your stair design then please add them.
    • The staircase should now be your own design based off the research you did. It does not have to follow your research exactly; you may modify the design as you see fit. The most important thing is that you are modeling all the components and understanding how things are supported/connected/built.
    • Always post any new research – do not re-post existing research.
  • Steel stair sheets (explained) –
      • SH-06 – 4 overall views of your steel stair design with your own families created. Revit’s default staircase that we use as a guide should be hidden.
      • SH-07 – detail studies of stair conditions
        • Always develop each detail in groups of 4
        • Everyone will have unique details and you must choose the best views for your respective design.
        • 4 Conditions to explain:
          • Building Structure to Stringer connection at top & bottom or side wall.
          • Stringer to Tread Connection
          • Tread to Railing Connection 
          • Other Detail (Examples below)
            • How does railing new post connect to
              • The stringer?
              • The tread?
              • The floor?
            • How does railing itself connect to vertical posts?
            • How does railing connect to (side panels or wire ropes?)
  • Figure out a good scale for your details and be consistent! – Start at 3″ = 1′-0″ and switch to 1-1/2″ = 1′-0″ if needed. If more than one detail can be combined into a single view, it may make sense to go even larger.
        • Add annotation.
          • text should be 1/8″ high (not 1/4″)
          • arrowhead should be solid.
          • leaders are first horizontal then go at an angle
        • Add dimensions.
        • Add materials to the family or use detail regions.
  • Push yourself to model as much as you can –
    • If you cannot model something – draw a sketch for class
