Challenge Assignment 3

Learning Objectives within this challenge assignment are as follows:

• 1.1d Work with structural columns

• 1.1e Work with structural framing and connections
• 3.1a Dimensions
• 4.1e Create and manage callout views

In this challenge assignment you develop steel framing for a new roof structure.
The original steelwork has been removed from the model. You are required to
create the structural columns, beams, and braces for the new steel frame. Two
levels are already created in the model, the 04 - Roof Eaves and the 04 – Roof
Ridge. You do NOT need to model the structural connections as this will be
subcontracted to the steel fabricator.

Before selecting a modeling process, you must consider the following
requirements:

• All steel framing to use the material Steel ASTM A53

• The structural roof plan must show all the relevant steelwork and not be cut
with a cut plane.
• Relevant framing elevations should be created to document bracing and
steel levels.
• Use reference planes to set out the roof geometry.
• Use cut and cope to improve the steel framing presentation ONLY where
2D detail views are required.
• Use Z and Y offsets to ensure that the model is clash free.
