CAD File Downloads

A collection of 2D and 3D electronic drawings can be found here. They have been combined and compressed into a zip archive; visit WinZip if you don't have a zip utility... These files are stored in three formats: .fmz, the form-Z 3D format; .dwg, the AutoCAD 14 drawing format; and/or .dxf, the de facto standard CAD file. Not all files are available in all formats, and even then YMMV.

The latest collection of drawings is from March 3: School Files v.0 (rev. B). This zip contains a 2D program drawing, a 2D school site drawing, and a 3D model that features a rough school site and all of the program elements. You may have to right-click (shift-click on Macs) this link to download the zip archive.

    Other downloads available:
  • February 23: UV-retail, revision 6. Includes ONLY retail and theaters, but all three floors. (Use revision 5 for a roof plan.)
  • February 16: UV-retail, revision 5. Includes most elements, but only retail and theaters are accurate.
  • February 16: UV-retail, revision 4. Use revision 5 instead.
  • February 3: On-street parking.
  • January 23: 2-D site drawing, UPDATED to include accurate site and building dimensions.
  • January 19: Includes OLD 2D and 3D site info.

This site is an ongoing documentation of my "comprehensive design semester," a/k/a thesis. It is very much a work in progress, so pardon the dust if links aren't working quite yet.
