Revit Assignment

This weekend you will create your gallery space using Revit. If you have the Underwood Center you may exchange buildings for one of the smaller galleries. Focus on walls, inserted curtain walls, anything that is visible. For the interior structure use your current knowledge of structure and common sense to design a simple system. If you do not know how to create a certain element then consult the tutorials in Revit. Remember you are not just modeling the facade you are modeling the entire gallery space from front to back. Think of the big picture while you model.

This assignment will be due this next Wednesday/Thursday on the 11^th/12^th.

Also :: for the weekend grab the Viz 2007 installer at \\archlab\viz2007

work with this program so that you are familiar with it for next week

NO CLASS ON MONDAY THE 9th AND TUESDAY THE 10TH

nason's wed.

we will only meet for one hour on wednesday evening. the first class will meet from 5.30-6.30 and the later class will meet from 8.30 to 9.30. you are welcome to come to either one.

Nason's Classes for Wed. April 4th!

okay nason's classes. it's time to get back on track. there's a lot of work due wednesday, so make sure you get it done. there will be no extension issued for these two parts, and no excuses for not having it done and done well. if you don't know how to do something, find out. ignorance is not acceptable with the resources you obtain.

p_01. building tutorial must be 100% complete and done well. do something different to show
you did it and learned from it. five jpegs of the building in process and one at least 2 of
the final product must be in your class-network folder before the start of class on
wednesday.
p_02. build a rev-it model of your entire gallery. do it well and do it as detailed as possible. put
at least 3 jpegs of your final product in your class-network folder before the start of
wednesday's class. mediocrity is not an option here. if you are caught up on the tutorial,
this will not be a bad work load. if you failed to complete the week-long assignment that
was due today, you are in for some long nights, and you will get no sympathy from me. if
your gallery is the underwood center, do not model the entire thing. you can either model
a section of it comparable to the other galleries, join with other underwoodians and share
sections to compile a complete model or you can pick one of the smaller galleries and
model it out in explicit detail.

check your email for more details. i sent out a mass email to both sections describing the assignment in a little more detail. good luck and do a good job. i need to see some proof of effort on these. i am rather disappointed by the majority of the buildings and modelings i have seen as of late.

REVIT TUTORIALS UPDATE

hey all,

upon further inspection of the tutorials there is quite a bit of tutorials! and there are some that do not relate to our modeling skills - i have whittled the selection of tutorials down to the following

getting started (intro explains the program and GUI) >> understanding the basics
developing your ideas (this one pretty much sums up the modeling) >> creating a building information model
viewing and rendering (try to do some of these)
>> viewing >> viewing a building model
>> rendering views & creating walkthroughs >> rendering interior/exterior views
>> presentation views >> all of 'em if you can

make sure your formZ model is detailed i would rather this be done well than you half-@55 it and breeze through the tutorials
take your time : be precise : be intent : be sincere : care about your work
then start on the tutorials selected here
get as far as you can and we will work more on them in class

Facade wall . section . bay model

ALL STUDENTS


1. complete your formZ model in detailed authority - you show that wall and formz whos boss! model away and clean and detailed - the more you model the more you understand, the more you understand the more you can explore, the more you can explore the more finesse your project will have and the more effort your instructors will see the better your grade can be...
(rhyming hmm?)

NOTE: sketch first in your sketchbook your plan of modeling - it makes everything so much easier


2. REVIT > help > tutorials : do as many as you can but definitely get down to rendering and viewing

3. curriculum video - its on the server arch2354/templates/curriculum install this and watch the video


come to class with a complete model + some screen shots of you working through the tutorials (hit print screen or some method of showing us your processes through the tutorials) they can be jpegs ...

any questions send us an email

Autodesk REVIT

ALL STUDENTS

go to http://students5.autodesk.com/?tagent=autodesksite1006&lbon=1 and register and download autodesk REVIT for free. you will all need this software when we return from spring break. while the school has a version we would like you to register anyway on the autodesk website.

thanks have a safe spring break - have fun - be safe - we want to see you back and rested ready for some AWESOME modeling!

Black Plan Phase Alpha Omega I

To begin with the 3d phase of ARCH 2354 we will test your knowledge of Form Z.

Go back to the gallery building that you visited and took pictures of for the 2d phase.
Pick a facade of that building and begin taking measurements, these measurements need to be as detailed as you can manage. The ares that you can reach must be detailed while ones you may not reach should be estimated as precisely as possible.

From this information you will begin constructing a 3d model of the building facade. Use the tools taught to you in the past week to create a detailed and intricate model of your building facade.
Because this is a model of just one facade we expect details you would not normally model, details such as brick thickness, flashing type, whether the windows are double or single paned.
The more detail and work you put into these models the better the resulting project will be.

We understand many people have made plans for spring break, we ask those people to go ahead and gather some rough measurements so that they may start on this project and have something for the week of the 19th. You may gather the specific measurements during that week as we will be working on this model during class time.
The week after spring break we expect you to have begun this project so that we may work with you during class.

NASON'S CLASSES MONDAY NIGHT

Addendum: THIS LIST IS UPDATED 2.33pm
we have compiled this list to serve as the final list (Nason's students will be contacted via Nason he's already instructed ya'll)

TO DO: some of you have already printed your work - AWESOME!! - what we need you to do next is cut it & take it up to hardtops along with a scrap piece of cardboard about the same size as your plot bigger is better - this will serve as a backing to keep your work straight (NO FOAM CORE) ONLY CARDBOARD it can be from a box it can be dirty, clean, stinking, rancid (well maybe not)

PRINT YOUR FINAL PRINTS on the HP5500 and allow for 1 hour dry time - then drop your print off at hardTOPS by 5.00pm TODAY - unless we have instructed otherwise use the hp5500 (if you use mixed media choose your printer)

IF YOU CANNOT drop your load at hardTOPS then swing by tomorrow morning or right at 12.00 NOON

RE-submittals & hardTOPS

ladies and gents -

if you would like to resubmit your work we would prefer if you make corrections to return your pieces ASAP - i suggested 6pm tonite on TUES however i think that might be rushing it too much - if you need extra time - we will be accepting resubmittals until your respective classes - ie: tomorrow we will take work for the monday classes & the same for TR we will accept tuesday work on thursday - the instructors will go over the resubmittals and make a final cut - print on 8.5x11 or 11x17 whichever you need NOT BIG PLOT!!

[ NOTE: to the students exhbiting - depending on your collage/diagram/creation we will want a final piece to be printed or submitted - get with your instructor to address the issue tomorrow and TR ]

the intent is to have class at hardtops for wahlberg's - 092 & 094 sections - meet at hardtops WED - we will be organizing the space and setting up for hanging - i will also need some of you on the crew for postcards to take care of that and pass them out once they are created ... i think this will be fun so please show up so we can get everything as ready as possible for friday - again i want to thank everyone for their effort and beautiful work - we were all very appreciative of your efforts!
