[53] Application of the originally proposed File Structure














[52] Presentation Renders








[51] More Designing and Modelling

Can not edit the object to delete, because  its in the interior model

The door is located in the wrong place, therefore needs adjustments

Fixed after adding the new wall

Changing the bookcase to align with the wall

Fixing the architectural model

Interior and architecture models do not connect. Therefore, they need to be amended in each model to connect together.

 Too much extra space in the bathroom

[48] Lighing insertion for the Gallery Spaces



For the gallery Spaces 3 lighting family systems needed to be imported into the model, the first was the tracking system itself, the second was the track lights whih would be hosted by the tracking system and third the the dome reflector lights needed to provide ambient lighting for the gallery spaces.

Modifying Light fixture Properties


Lighting Layout


Setting the track families up

Unfortunately some issues did arise; firstly as all the spaces used the structural floor above as the ceiling  lighting families needed to be face based rather than ceiling based otherwise they wouldn't attach to the structural floor. Additionally no track families could be sourced that were face based- ie hung from ceiling so essentially all the tracking was floating in mid air. this I'm sure would come up in the clash software, and would nonetheless be modeled if a further level of detail was to be acheived- we just didnt have the time!

Lastly, with all the families that were used, we had to ensure all the IES files were loaded- some weren't and just the lighitng fixture itself glowed without illuminating the scene!

[47] Drawings Cleanup

Using the high elements option to clean drawing of things which aren't needed for presentation.
Cleaned drawing - after elements are hidden.
Adding revision numbers and description.

Drawings Cleanup
At the end of the modelling process for this stage a cleanup of the drawings was required to take place in the Architecture model to make sure they were to a high presentation standard. This included:
  • Making sure north points were on all drawings
  • Hidding elements not needed for presentation drawings (sections used for working in the model etc.)
  • Adding a revision number and reason for issue.
  • Filling out the title block to include all relevant information.
