The Problem : By 2009, the building had begun to show its age. At the top of the building some of the twenty-six east and south facing Terra-Cotta columns [ with the base starting at the 26th floor and extending past the 34th floor] had begun to show cracking and in some areas had began to shed large pieces of stone.

Not much of a catch but there is no equivalent floor in this case. If there was a floor there Id just check the properties of the floor. you could sketch your own a floor around the perimeter pretty quickly. For my money, Id probably favor a floor. Steve - Have you considered mass floors? ► 2009.

Its aluminum-clad exterior was refinished with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) based coating system, restoring the building’s façade to a just-like-new condition designed to last for over 20 years. A striking, early example of late modern “high-technology” architecture received a 21 st century facelift. Preserving modern history.

Wall Floor Interaction and Linked Models. When we have architecture and structure in separate Revit models we end up with somewhat clumsy graphics in wall sections.

When moist air hits a cooler surface within a wall structure, water vapor in the air can condense and collect inside these spaces. This moisture can then be absorbed in various building materials and cause a host of serious structural problems. Steel structural members can become oxidized, rusting and gradually losing their integrity.
