Week 7: Solving More Problems

As discovered earlier there were some problems with the original model regarding the span of roof joists and window lintels.

To add to these structural issues there were some other modelling issues which would make the house impossible to build. The two issues revolved around the side window  height, glass façade heights and wall heights exceeding the the roof joists.

I had originally missed this issues, but after doing a double check on the model, these two issues really stuck out. They were quite easy to fix as it didnt really change the structure of the house, it just involved me changing the heights of internal stud walls and editing the windows.

As can be seen in this image, the window goes right up to the room, and there is a bearer that sticks through the glass (impossible)
This solution was fixed by editing the window so that is sat underneath the ceiling bearer

Everything looks OK in this picture, however it can be seen the walls go above the bearers that are meant to be resting on it (impossible).


This was fixed by simply lowering the stud frame so that it sat below the bearers (as can be seen in the second picture), and by adjusting the glass panel accordingly.
