No Stories, No Problem

[Zeno 227]

To be honest, I wouldn't know how I'd do it without stories to model this. 1 buildings, 3 towers 18 stories, every story 3 design layer. 54 layers generated automaticallly so...

 

thanks stories and.. learn stories

@Zeno, great looking model!

@Zeno, I don't know if you'd be able to due to client confidentiality, but if you could post your set-up file so others could see, it might encourage folks to try.

 

Maybe strip out all the geometry, sheet layers, etc and just leave the story set-up?

Here you are

 

ISSUE: before creating stories, I'm used to sketch a schema, like the attached one. Maybe it can not correspond with the file, but it is very useful before start. It's easy and quickly, then you can have more control.

Ciao Zeno, do you use a common Z for all buildings or every building has its own project zero?

Accordingly, how do you set up the Reference Elevation in the Export IFC Project settings?

 

 

[Zeno 227]

Why must I write in English with an Italian user -_-

 

So, I'm used to set the global 0 in a specific point on site. From there I start to set the project. For IFC Export I didn't change any parameters on reference elevation.

Thank you Zeno, 😀

 

... I just have been reproached that I speak a total mix between German and English!

I think that we will do a common zero for the project. We must use the coordinates during IFC export, so, let's go for "common zero".

Wenn du möchtest, possiamo parlare a mix of the three launguages, für nächste Mal.

Hi all! @Wes Gardner, is there any possibility of having the files first published with this thread. They aren't available any more. I've been using Vectorworks for more than 20 years, but I'm new to stories. I was interested in checking these files as the ones in the "Model Set Up (Revisited for 2019)" thread, which aren't available also.

do you export one building or all of them in one ifc file?

 

it's not possible to have many 'zero' levels in one vw file, the zeno's approach is the right one.

you can but reference all edifices as separate design layers in a file with the whole plot setup (eg. all buildings are in 1:50 scale, and are referenced in the 1:500 raumordnungsplan)...
