Design
The architects did not share their 3D models with the general contractor (Hoffman) and
therefore all the subsequent models had to be created based on 2D AutoCAD files.
Nevertheless, the structural engineer (MKA), the curtain wall design/builder (Seele), the
general contractor, the steel detailer (BDS) and the mechanical subcontractor (McKinstry)
all utilized 3D modeling on this project (Figure 7).

Hoffman decided to have the curtain wall subcontractor design the aluminum mullion
system first and then align the diagonal steel behind it. The original plan was to use
