Prepare Architectural Model for Export

Partner offices usually do not require the fully detailed architectural model; a simplified model is sufficient. For example, Structural models are simplified versions of architectural models, which contain only the load-bearing building elements such as columns, beams, slabs, walls, roofs, and the load-bearing (core) parts of composite structures. If an architect plans to exchange models with a structural engineer, he/she should keep these requirements in mind when carrying out their design work, to make the eventual model exchange easier.
