Vignette question

Postby SLHruns » Sat Feb 24, 2018 2:40 pm

Hey, need some reassurance or brutal honesty as I just took the SS exam yesterday and may have botched the graphic vignette portion. I did not see any reason in placing the columns in the double height space twice (upper level) and then on the (lower level) precisely because its a double height space. You would build a column on top of a column in the field in a double height space. Does that make sense?

If I did make that mistake then it must be a fatal error.

Upper level columns must be supported at the lower level.

That's not what you're showing. It's the same column where it's located on the lower level.

Yep.

Thanks coach...low and behold, i looked at the NCARB exam guide again and it says it plain as day right there in black and white. GOOD job me. Funny thing is I had loads of time at the end and chose not to place the column on the lower floor. smh...looks like I'll be rescheduling this before the 5.0 cutoff.
