We would love to hear from you! 

*The best two posts (based on top voted - max kudos) will be selected and announced as winners of a surprise gift!

Happy submitting your Friday WIP - looking forward!

Meanwhile, check out entries submitted so far for the Mars Home Planet 3D Challenge and Autodesk resources if you'd like to download and participate!

Hi @-FDC-

The 'river lock' for flood control to protect certain residential zones is an interesting concept. (A tidal barrage aspect)

It is cool to note the function of the reservoirs tide ecosystem during tide variations and to think this was executed 100 years ago is even more amazing- 

Now we use Revit and remote sensing for design - wondering how the measurements were made back in those days!

Again, thanks a lot for participating and sharing the images! Appreciate your time.

Thanks! Btw, your presentation is just fine! 🙂 I'm sure it made your design understandable and besides, it's catchy. Anyway, the deadlines usually don't leave much time for drawing embellishment nor that is necessary. Even as architect, I can say that we usually pack whatever information we provide just by using a template. There are cases when we have to impress the best we can, but c'mon, who wanna be in those circumstances. When that happens, we have to deal with the time consuming process most of us choose multiple software. So, if sketchy Revit model did the trick and the client is happy, yeeeey!!! I'm sure your did, so good job! 🙂

Thanks 🙂 @Viveka_CD

Nothing wrong with your presentation style.

Nice, clear and to the point like it should be!

Hi @Viveka_CD

I searched a bit for the English term and I think it is called a floodgate.

These videos are something more like it but our construction has to be fish friendly as well!

They didn't execute it 100 hundred years ago but back then it was a natural river.

A natural river doesn't follow a straight line or isn't wide enough and so it was rerouted.

After a while the unused old river started silting up and once the river is silted up there is no tide anymore.

Which is bad for fauna and flora.

The water wil also start to find his own ways and that is something we cannot afford.

So therefore the river has to become what it was a hundred years ago.

A tidal river but now with controlled "floodgates" to the tidal reservoirs.

Regards,

Filip

The 3D view I posted before was just my working view. Here is a sample of my final output. This is just the area of the pumps. Did similar for chiller area and tower area. These were not for a client. It was for our in-house Mechanical crew, for the purpose of pre-fabricating the piping spools. I gave each bit of pipe and fitting a unique mark, made assembly drawings of each spool, etc., so that we could cut and weld up reasonable bits and have them all ready to go for the on-site window of Christmas break. (It's a junior college campus) I think they worked pretty well for that purpose. My crew has about 80% of it complete, equipment is already on-site behind the building waiting for us, and we expect to hit the site at full speed.

Hi @chrisplyler, @-FDC-, @Ilic.Andrej, @constantin.stroescu,

Thank you for participating in Friday Feature #3 Share your WIP CONTEST

The voting ends today so please invite your friends and co-workers to vote on your project.

The winners will be based on the maximum number of kudos received.

Good luck!!

[chrisplyler]

AHA!

Some higher-up asked you to drive up forum memberships. And this is your sneaky way of doing it. Right?

[Viveka_CD]

@chrisplyler

I never thought of it that way! Just a way to break away from the blue and other boards like Fusion and Max are doing these contest for ages

[chrisplyler]

It sounded like a very clever thing though. Anyway, I'm sure Constantin will enjoy the first of the $100 Visa Gift Cards you've subconsciously implied will be awarded every week.

[Viveka_CD]

@chrisplyler you are too funny! may be it 100/2

[Viveka_CD]

@chrisplyler the main idea is to spark interest and see the how Revit is used in projects for various designs.

[chrisplyler]

Well, seeing as how my silliness might DETER interest, I'll shut up now and wait for tomorrow's new Friday Feature thread.

The voting was RIGGED! Russian fake news!

All three of my competitors' project are obviously more impressive than mine.

[Viveka_CD]
