Liz, Modlar Administrator

Hi Percy, not every product has BIM/CAD files, so first you have to make sure the product you are looking at has the right files available. The easiest way to find products with the right files is to do a search and then use the 'Formats' filter to tick the relevant file formats.

Liz, Modlar Administrator

Hi Don, the first step is to look for products that have Vectorworks files. The easiest way to do this is to do a product search and then find the 'Formats' filter on the left hand side of the search page.

Hi Lutfar, To download BIM files, first make sure that the product you are looking at has files to download. If it doesn't have a tab on the right hand side that says 'Downloads', then there are no files to download.

Anthony, Architect

Armorers created blackened steel in the Renaissance with linseed oil. They heated the steel and applied the oil in much the same fashion described by "grahame-white" above. It probably is a little less toxic than old motor oil, and because it requires multiple applications, allows for a broad color range of "blackening" . 4 More Answers

Hi Linda, Yes of course, I seen a similar thing a few times and it looks great. Make sure to use a good waterproofing substrate or under coat behind it too. I agree if you already have the trim and it's stained, it would be a shame to paint over it, as new oak trim is very expensive. 1 More Answer

What I mean is: Is there a certain point in design where for buildings over a certain height the construction cost, start to accelerate ever faster?I've heard anything over 30 floors high, starts to get expensive. Due to construction costs and design that's needed.

A huge factor will be where the project is being constructed. The local market for labor and materials is going to have just as much impact on this, and it will totally vary based on where the project is being constructed. 2 More Answers
