I have a site that I'm using for my next Uni project and we are required to crete a 3D mode of it. The front of my site has already a existing building on it which is currently a shopfront, dating back from 1821. I only know the overall measurement of the width and height of this shop front, with no idea what the measurements of the individual pieces of stone work are.
Is it possible to create this building, without knowing these measurements as I'm not able to physically measure them, and the Local Council ( probably ) does not have the individual dimensions of the details.
Thank You
Nathan
Great ideas !
The building and space behind the shop is going to be used for an art house cinema, ( Uni project, it's not actually going to happen ) so I think it may be a nice idea to keep the stone work... but I'm not sure yet.
The east and west elevations of this building, both have shops at the side of them ( as shown ), so when I come to drawing these elevations, what would I actually put there because you can't see them ( I image you must put something there
)
Thank You

Autodesk !!!I'm re-thinking the concept of keeping the existing frontage... It is a fairly closed in space for what will be a small cinema, and I don't think it will help me in terms of the layout and design.
As for the elevations, the wall is not shared, adjoining dwellings have their own walls, so I will just hatch them as brick work as you mentioned. It's only around 40% of the structure that is ' closed' in by other building, the rest is open space ( car park area) which means a interesting us of windows for the play of light
... I'm thinking Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye ' ribbon' windows will work well.
Why don't you use SketchUp to model it and import it into ArchiCAD? SketchUp is really easy when it comes to adjusting images on faces. But don't try the answer to that on this forum 
Still looking?
