    This document provides a tutorial on using ModelIT to create a simple office building model with an extruded main space and smaller glass-walled sub-offices in one corner. It describes how to model the external and internal glazing, including setting facade angles, window heights, widths, offsets and spacings. The internal glazing is created by keying in the first window position and size, then copying and displacing it to form the pattern across the sub-office surfaces.

    The tutorial demonstrates how to model a simple office space with external and internal glazing using the ModelIT module.

    The external glazing is created using the 'edit glazing for selected spaces' option and by setting the Min. Az and Max. Az fields to apply glazing to specific facades.

    The internal glazed panels are created by using the 'Key-in' field to input the exact displacement and dimensions of the first window and then copying it using displacement to create the desired pattern.

    ModelIT: Tutorial 1

    This is a simple example of geometry creation using the ModelIT module. It consists of a main office
    space (extrusion) with smaller glass panelled sub-offices (prisms) in one corner. These zones are
    created with a floor at 0.0m and a ceiling height of 3.6m. The East and West external facades also
    have glazing.

    A closer view of the sub-office 1:

    The main modelling consideration for this model is in creating the glazing.

    The required ext. glazing is as shown on the following close-up of the external wall in sub-office 1:

    The glass panels are 1.8m high (Height) at a height of 1.05m (Y-Offset) – the width of the panel is
    0.9m (Width) – thus the initial X-Offset is 0.05m with an X-Spacing of 0.1m – the Y-Spacing is not
    required since there is only one window in the vertical axis.
    The external glazing is created using the “edit glazing for selected spaces” option:

    Note that the “Min. Az” & “Max. Az” fields are set to 85 and 95 so that initially the glazing is only
    applied to the East facade. These are then changed to 265 and 275 to apply to the West facade.

    The internal glazed panels for the offices are as follows (note that the option explained above only
    works for external windows):

    The twelve windows are 0.9m by 0.9m, 0.05m from the edge of the surface with a 0.1m mullion
    between each window. There are a number of ways of creating this effect; perhaps the easiest is to
    use the “Key-in” field to input the exact displacement and dimensions of the first window.

    At the “Opening” level select the “Add Window” option and input the displacement of the
    window from the bottom left corner then define the size of the window
    .

    Select this window and click the “Copy” button .

    Again there are a number of possible ways of doing this, we shall use the same technique as above,
    define a starting position by inputting to the “Key-in” field and then input a
    displacement .

    By repeating this process with different displacements we can create the desired glazing effect.

    All the windows for other surfaces can be created in this manner.
