TASKS:

In this exercise you will be using an already prepared ArchiCAD model of a car-parking garage that houses a car for the visiting Professor to sample some of the local New Zealand architecture. You will be required to complete two details that deal with Groundwater Tanking and Basement construction. On the model given, all the site information and location of the details to be completed is given. The details should be drawn as part of the original model and created as 3D solid model objects. Sectional and 3D views should be set up for each of the details showing appropriate information about your researched and investigated solution.
