Dear All,
I want to start modeling a school project comprising of 2 buildings interconnected by:
1. A car parking on 2 basement levels, and
2. a library space at the Ground & First Floor levels
I have attached a 3D rendering of the project and highlighted the 2 buildings (building 1 & building 2 in red and green) and the library separating them (in blue color). The underground basement is not shown in this image but will span the whole footprint below the 2 buildings.
I want to start by modeling these buildings via the wizard. I guess I will need to create separate shells and position them properly, right?
If this is the case, is the best scenario to model 3 shells as follows?
* 1 for Bldg#1,
* 1 for the library, and
* 1 for Bldg#2
As for the basement, is it better to model it as 1 big shell and place the 3 shells (listed above) just over the basement shell? Or it is better to divide the basement into 3 sections and merge each section with the above-ground shell (listed above)?
I hope I explained it clearly :)
Thanks,
Omar
