project (Figure 9). BDS used Tekla Structures (formerly known was Xsteel) to model the
complex structural elements converging at different angles. Since the glazing would be
applied directly to the diagonal steel, it was mandatory to have all the geometry in 3D.
Instead of receiving a model from the curtain wall designer, as was originally anticipated,
the steel detailer ended up sending their model to Seele so they could verify that the
geometry of the diagonal steel and the curtain wall mullions lined up perfectly.

Platform Truss (Dale Stenning, personal communication, May 10, 2010).
Once the entire building was modeled in Tekla, MKA and Hoffman assessed
constructability for all corner conditions. Instead of detailing every one of the thousand
