MODELING

• Model at minimum – 6 columns (2 wide flange, 2 square, 2 round) – 4 beams (all wide flange). The dimensions are in the respective tables on Miro that you used to choose your section sizes.
• Section Sizes

  Wide Flange Column	W21x147	W24x131	W21x147	W21x147	W24x146	W24x131
  HSS – Round Column	14×0.375	14×0.375	14×0.375	14×0.375	14×0.375	14×0.375
  HSS – Square	14x14x1/2	14x14x1/2	14x14x1/2	14x14x1/2	14x14x1/2	14x14x1/2

  Wide Flange Notched Beam	W18x60	W18x60	W18x60	W18x65	W18x65	W18x60
  C-Channel	C10x25	C10x25	C10x30	C10x25	C10x25	C10x25

• Do not worry about the bracing yet, but if you’d like to try, it is similar to the stair stringer.

MIRO POSTING

• Post in MIRO 
  • SC-01 (Required) – Standard 4 Views (Plan, 2 elevations, 2 isometrics, 1 perspective) 
  • SC-02 (Optional) – Isometric Sheet (using plan callouts and orient to view) 
  • SC-03 (Optional) – Kit of Parts (place all families here as you make them) 
• Use the assignment sheet (from Miro or on OpenLab) for an example of all these sheets. 
• Pick a new place on Miro to post your sheets, there are no assigned locations this time.

Previous semester examples: Example Assignments (see how different connections are done and detail sheets are laid out)

Narrative: Narrative document

Due for Feb 13th – Final Pinup

• Post to Brightspace
  • Include a single PDF of all your sheets (including research)
  • Revit Project File (your families should already be saved within the revit file)
  • Narrative PDF
• Post all staircase sheets to MIRO, not just new ones, by Midnight Monday, September 16th
  • SH-05, SH-06, SH-07, etc.

SHEET CONTENT (MINIMUM, YOU CAN ADD MORE SHEETS AS NECESSARY):

• SH-05 – Final Research Sheets
  • You may have modified your design based on new research, post the final research sheets as well. 
  • If more sheets are needed, use SH-05.1, SH-05.2, SH05.3, etc.
• SH-06 – First Basic Sheet with 4 views
  • If it helps to explain your design, you can include additional views that show a second elevation/section that shows the railing assembly and a view from behind so the stringer support is visible. (views from the other sides basically)
• SH-07, SH-08, etc.. Detail Studies at Larger scales (1 1/2″, 3″, 6″, etc.)
  • You may end up with separate or combined sheets for the different studies depending upon the layout of your details.  Remember to address the following:
    • Buildings Structure to Stringer connection
    • Stringer to Tread connection
    • Railing Assembly to stair connection (to tread, to stringer or to the building)
  • Remember that each detail study is another group of 4 views (Plan, Elevation, Section and Isometric)
  • If the plans /elevations/sections are all at 1-1/2″ scale – you may find a smaller scale isometric at 1″ works better than matching the 1-1/2″ scale.
• SH-08 – Use of ISOMETRIC VIEWS
  • Consider making use of Multiple Isometric views – stacked to show assembly or possibly show the same axonometric several times in different degrees of assembly. 
  • For example – just the stringer, then one with the steps but no railings, then one complete with railings.
• Materials
  • Add materials designations using region or materials hatches.  Also name the material in your notes.
• Adding Notes and Dimensions
  • Notes – these should describe the assembly and identify materials.  You can use one to describe more than one item.  For example – 2 X 2 STEEL NEWEL POST CONNECTED TO 1/4″ X 2″ X 8″ STEEL C-CHANNEL STRINGER
  • Dimensions – to build your stairs you must provide dimensions.  This can be done with dimensions on the detail or in a note.
• Choosing your graphics
  • Remember the goal is clarity – so if your layout or details are clear to you – then go with your intuition.

Narrative: Narrative document

Due for Feb 11th – Prefinal Pinup

Consider this next pinup your prefinal – the last chance for me to critique your work. YOU MUST PINUP ALL YOUR WORK IN MIRO BEFORE CLASS STARTS!!!

• Narrative
• Minimum Drawings (posted on Miro)
  • • SH-05
      • • 4 views of overall staircase
    • SH-06 (create more detail sheets as necessary depending on scale)
      • • Details explaining the “where” and “what” of the various components of your assembly, see below for more info. Examples:
          • • Stringer to Floor/Wall
            • Tread to Stringer
            • Railing Posts to Tread/Stringer
            • Handrail/Baluster to Railing Posts
        • Include dimensions & annotations
    • SH-07
      • • Exploded Iso diagrams showing how the components are to be assembled, similar to an installation guide. The “how” of your design.

• Remember to make new views in groups of 4 – (Plan/Section/Elevation/Isometric)
  • Do not spread these out on a page but look to position related details close together and lined up
  • Depending on the scale of your details you should be able to fit 2 to 4 sets of details on a single sheet.

Your details should explain the following. Create as many details/sheets as necessary to explain your design to a client and an installer/contractor:

• STRINGER –
  • Where is your stringer positioned – (one in the center, one against the wall with cantilevered steps, two stringers)
  • What is the size and material of your stringer
  • How does it connect to the building (at top and bottom or to the wall)
• TREADS –
  • What material is your tread?
  • How does your tread connect to the stringer?
• RAILING POSTS &  BALUSTRADE –
  • Describe your railing post if you have one?
  • How does it connect (to the tread, to the stringer, to the floor or some other manner)
  • How does the post connect to the handrail?
  • How is your balustrade made?  Is it wires, metal posts or glass panels?
• HANDRAIL –
  • What material is your handrail?
  • How does it connect to the railing post?
• ASSEMBLY OF STAIR –
  • Using exploded isometrics can you explain more clearly the assembly of your stair?

• • Do not replace previously uploaded sheets, simply upload new sheets under the next banner.

Due for Thursday – 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 (Pick one set of details for Thursday)
        • 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 show:
          • 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 1-1/2″ = 1′-0″ and switch if needed.
    • • • Add annotation.
          • text should be 1/8″ size (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

Summary of what is Due for Next Class (1/30):

• Five (5) Sheets – 4 Revit + 1 Research
  • SH-01 Plan Views (1/4′ Scale)
  • SH-02 Exterior Elevation Views (same scale as plans)
