The photograph of the axonometric drawing? Is this a typical example of a drawing in the construction document set? In other woeds does the set consist of many 3d drawings?
Yes, there is a separate isometric for each course of block.
Hmm, so that appears to be something like 15 sheets of isometrics. Cool. Are they 30x42? Almost look like they're drawn at 1/2\" scale, but that wouldn't fit on 30x42 I think. I don't know. Pretty cool in any case. Would love to see more.
Are these REVIT drawings?
There are actually 16 isometric drawings for just the block, not including the rest of the drawings for the house. They are 30 x 42 and not to scale because they are simply diagrams. These were created in 3d ACAD, just as the rest of the house was similarly modeled.
Thank you! So, you did an entire set of working drawings in 3d? Is this typical of your firms approach or was this developed specifically for the FSC Wright house? In any case I think it's cool.
Yes, we did the entire house in 3D, but most of the details are in 2D since that was the easiest way to depict them. We do both 3D and 2D drawings depending on the project. It was much easier to visualize all of the connections three dimensionally, and since we modeled everything three dimensionally we felt it was best to share those three dimensional relationships the builders. This has worked out remarkably well since this house is like building a large Swiss watch.
