Hey guys! Testing in a few weeks and have come up with two schemes for the interior vignette from the web-based NCARB program. I feel like I might be stuck with the web version as the downloaded version with the Citrix Receiver requires an account setup that wants me to enter a work email or server address. I cannot figure out how to get past this issue as any server I attempt requires a name and password to which I have no luck getting through. Any pointers on that would be appreciated!
Onto my attempts, I did two different vignettes. Each pretty different.
Interior 1 is set up similar to the sample solution. A couple questions I had on this one:
-The SO has the direct access door to LCR partially in front of the window. Is that loss of points or is it ok?
-JO is exactly 2:1 in terms of dimensions. It looks very narrow but is it ok?
-Would any points have been lost if the door to the LCR had been placed adjacent to the JO rather than where it is now? The reason I ask is because I originally had the LCR mirrored but then overlapping the approach boxes between LCR and JO seemed wrong. Would I have been ok that way?
Interior 2 is set up similar to the failing solution but I wanted to see if I could make it work. I am pretty close in a few areas but I think I cleared everything.
-Can I put the lateral filing cabinets against the window as shown?
-Is it ok to have 3 sides of the work table floating?
-Did I create too much of a hallway for the room access or is it still considered open?
-Do I need to relocate/rotate the conference table to make it work on that north end or is it cleared?
A couple general questions:
-Is it automatic fail if clearance is not met everywhere?
-I was able to get both schemes done in under an hour, including a quick review. What is the general consensus on how long it should take to get the layout all done with enough time to review?
-How do you layout your sketch circles before laying out the spaces? Do you wrap around the vacant space? Put it all to one side?
Thanks for the help guys! (Vignettes are out of order, 2 is before 1! Sorry)
