I guess I am topic 2, I will try my best with Sketch up, I know how to use it, but I am not expert on this software. By the way Werner, I did not receive the e-mail, could you please send it to my bac account?
Not knowing yet what the actual allowable density on site is, we can assume a density not uncommon in an urban site. The volumes you will compose on the site will serve as reality check. FAR 3.0. (Floor Area Ratio = Gross Floor Area / Lot Area) The available lot area is 31,400 SF. The maximum Gross Floor Area is 94.200 SF. Assume reasonable building widths (50’ (housing) to 100’ (office)) and floor to floor heights (11’ to 14’) Develop a few different volumes using up all the available SF.
I hope you will be able to use the sketch-up model bases in 3d max too (the file can be saved as a 3ds file).
I guess you will learn the program really fast… Import the dwg file and convert to a component (select all elements, right-click, choose ‘component’ “underlay”), create separate layer and move “underlay” to this layer (right-click, entity info) Import the two 3ds files from the city into your file. Make sure under option the box ‘Merge coplanar faces’ is checked. The information will automatically come in as a component. Move the entire piece to the right location on the underlay. Now manipulate each component (double click to activate), reduce to appropriate size. Good luck.
Thank you for the instructions, I am looking forward to become proficient on this software. If you would be so kind to e-mail me the site information, or if anyone else has it, please forward it over to me.
Werner, Thanks alot, your input was very helpful to me, Today i learned a new term for me "FAR 3.0." I am looking to learn more and more from you. Thanks Amr
Werner, Are we posting the studies on our blogs or bringing the information with us to class? I will make sure I have a copy of the code report for everyone (either email it to you or a hard copy) whichever you prefer. I didn't know if you wanted the report posted on the blog.
Jaclyn et all, represent your findings on the blog so everyone has the opportunity to learn about the site as much as possible before coming to Boston. Bring the sketch-up models on a memory stick, so everyone can download the site bases in Boston, but format a few views of the bases on your blog to show what to expect.

I will take Topic 4: Climate Analysis:
I will take Topic 5: History of the Site.
I will do Topic 1: Sketch-up Base model
I will take Topis 3: Zoning analysis
I will take task 6: transportation...

Werner,
I have not yet received the site information in my email.
I have not received the site information either...
I have it now. Thanks!
Well, I guess its too late for me
-), I will pick Task Number 7.
Werner, Please tell me more in detail what is this task is? what is needed?
Thanks
Amr
Werner,
I will do the 3d in task 7 in 3d Max, Thats the 3d Program i always use.
