What type of foundations for Cargo containers?

2009-11-14T05:51:38Z

Hello Esteemed Engineers,

I am a school director who is building a school for Thai kids in the south of Thailand. I would like to know how what type of foundation I need for cargo containers stacked not more than 2 floors high?

The surface of the land is soil which shall be leveled and rollered. Could I just put in four large concrete blocks at each corner re-enforced with ray bar?

Or can the land be covered with concrete and the containers just layed on top?

Help me please!

Regards

Richard

Overtime Labor

2009-10-20T21:10:08Z

I would like to know how over-time labor is being handled. I called the help line, but apparently there is no way to input an overtime labor factor other than to multiple by hand and insert it in an excel spreadsheet. That seems rediculous since overtime is a regular ocurrence. Anybody?

Insert Specific Sizes—Drag and Drop?

2009-10-19T11:11:59Z

OK, either I just don’t get it or this is something that needs to get high priority to fix when it comes to the next SmartBim release. For example, when you drag and drop a door that has ‘9 types’ indicated in SmartBim you only get the default size, not the option of actually picking the actual size you want from the 9 sizes available. I know I could just go and insert the door via Revit, load family, find the family in the SmartBim directory, and I will then get the option to insert a specific size. But if that is the case the SmartBim UI is useless and shouldn’t be advertised as a way of organizing your data. If you can’t use the interface to insert the family directly into Revit, with the option for a specific size, then SmartBim is just a glorified collection of families.

Please tell me there is a way to insert a specific family size directly from the UI. Am I just missing something obvious?

Thanks,
