Arranging the Components on the Building

Now that you have made the components, you need to arrange them on the building as indicated in the following steps. 42. Insert Window 1 at the location indicated on the massing.

43. Make sure you place the window on the face in the correct location as directed by the dimensions.

44. Coy and paste the second window 2´-6˝ from the adjacent face/dashed hidden geometry edge.

45. Immediately after placing the second window, add the third window equidistant between the other two by entering 2/ in the VCB.

46. Copy and paste all three windows downward along the blue axis, 12´-6˝, using the top edge of the windows as a reference.

47. Array/Copy the three windows from step 45: enter 4x into the VCB. The faceted face of the building is now composed of 15 Window 1 components. The next steps will utilize the already placed windows to further populate the adjacent building faces. 48. Select all of the windows that you placed in steps 45 to 47. Using the top-left edge as a reference, copy and paste the entire window set onto the next adjacent face. Reference the left edge of the face for placement. Make sure the copied windows are set correctly onto the face; they should align to and cut holes on the face.

49. Select the two left columns of windows pasted in step 48. Copy and paste them onto the next face (to the right) in the same fashion outlined in step 48. 50. Copy/Add two windows above the pasted windows from step 49. When you place them, make sure to use the correct dimensions as indicated.

51. As indicated, copy the six windows from the same face populated in steps 45–47. Paste the windows onto the adjacent face to the left. Use the edges for reference as indicated by the yellow arrows in the diagram. 52. From the same face (steps 45–47), copy and paste six windows on the faces to the left of the previous surface.

53. Move/Copy the windows from the previous step over to the adjacent face on the left.

This completes the arrangement of windows for this side of the building.

54. Using the same method as in steps 42–53, arrange and populate the faces on the other (right) side of the building. The two sides of the building are symmetrical and the composition of windows should be identical.

Once this is complete, populate the center, round mass of the building next.

55. Insert Window 3 onto one of the faces of the center mass. The top of the window should be 5´ from the top edge of the outer cirlce. Make sure Hidden Geometry is still visible to complete these steps.

56. Copy and paste five additional windows onto each face, all 5´ below the top edge of the faceted faces.
