X3D Example Archives: X3D4AM, X3D for Advanced Modeling, Buildings

This chapter illustrates example scenes for buildings and architecture. Eventually we hope to include Building Information Modeling (BIM) examples and Architecture, Enginering and Construction (AEC) models. Of related interest: AEC Hackathon.

10 X3D Models		X3D Model Descriptions
	Arch	Create an arch. Parameters are: clearSpanWidth=4; riseHeight=2; depth=3; topAbutmentHeight=0.5; pierWidth=0.5; pierHeight=1. Modify them with Transform scale or editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information.
	Arch Filled	Create a filled arch. Note it is an half cylinder. Parameters are: clearSpanWidth=4; riseHeight=2; depth=3p. Modify them with Transform scale or by editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information.
	Arch Half	Create a half arch with parameters clearSpanWidth=4; riseHeight=2; depth=3; topAbutmentHeight=0.5; pierWidth=0.5; pierHeight=1. Parameter clearSpanWidth measure refers to a full arc, consider clearSpanWidth/2 for the archHalf width. Modify them with Transform scale or by editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information.
	Arch Half Extension	Create an half arch with an extension on top. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf to find further information on ArchHalfExtension. Parameters are: clearSpanWidth=4; riseHeight=2; depth=3; topAbutmentHeight=0.5; pierWidth=0.5; pierHeight=1; archHalfExtensionWidth=1. Modify them with Transform scale or by editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information
	Arch Half Filled	Create an half filled arch. Note it is a quarter cylinder. Parameters are: clearSpanWidth=4; riseHeight=2; depth=3p. clearSpanWidth measure refers to a full arc, consider clearSpanWidth/2 for the archHalfFilled width. Modify them with Transform scale or by editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information.
	Arch Prototype	Create an arch. Can modify general parameters: clearSpanWidth, riseHeight, depth, topAbutmentHeight, pierWidth, pierHeight. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf to find further information. See also ArchPrototypeScript_more_readable.js. Possibility to create shapes related to arch: ArchHalf; IntradosOnly; ArchFilled; ArchHalfFilled; Lintel. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf to find further information.
	Catalan Arches	Draw architectural forms by Rafael Guastavino
	Etabs Building Frame	Course project for building structural analysis, exported from ETABS design program and converted with Okino Nugraf.
	Intrados Only	Create the intrados, the interior and lower line or curve of an arch. Note it is a flat curved surface. Parameters are: clearSpanWidth=4; riseHeight=2; depth=3p. Modify them with Transform scale or by editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information.
	Lintel	Create a lintel, which is a load-bearing building component, a decorative architectural element, or a combined ornamented structural item. It is often found over portals, doors, windows, and fireplaces. Parameters are: clearSpanWidth=4; depth=3; topAbutmentHeight=0.5; pierWidth=0.5; pierHeight=1. Total height is pierHeight + topAbutmentHeight. Modify them with Transform scale or by editing the IndexedFileSet node. See the reference file ArchModelingDiagrams.pdf and the ArchScript_more_readable.js script to find further information.
