RobinF Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hey! As the title says, how do I write the "root" symbol? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire_col Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 In your text formatting bar go to symbol "@", From the list select other..", in the character map dialogue select "Advanced View" choose the character set "DOS: United States" Scroll down and the root symbol is at the bottom. As shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski_Me Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Fire_Col what is it that you do? I mean what do you draw or design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire_col Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We produce stud wall panels off site, in a effort to try and reduce the amount of on-site construction required. Most of my work is done in 3D with the use of 'Tekla Structures'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Panels as in precast panels? If so then architectural or structural? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I would assume it would be Structural Insulated Panels or SIPs. Check this out...http://www.premiersips.com/architects/designing-with-sips/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) We make architectural insulated precast panels though... only if the contractor wants them that is... otherwise its regular architectural precast. I thought I'd ask to see if he is in the same industry as me. Those SIPs are ugly to me... I'd never use them.

ReMark Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 SIPs are used widely in the modular home business as well as other applications (ex. - condos being built above ground floor retail space). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Even then, architectural precast is better looking, in my opinion, than SIPs for offices and condos. It just looks a whole lot cleaner while SIPs look like plastic in most of the images I saw on that site. I guess it just comes down to personal taste really.

ReMark Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I wouldn't necessarily want my house to be built with "pretty looking" structural precast panels although I'm sure that someone, somewhere has done it. I might consider them if I were building a house in the U.S. Virgin Islands where it could take up to a year to build and I was looking for a structure that would stand up better to hurricanes. There are many factors I would have to take into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Oh god no precast on a house is ugly as f**k. I've seen it and its not pretty... But if i were getting something resistant to winds for a home I'd sooner go with limestone or some other nice looking rock for the walls. Those SIPs are just too boring to me to go on a home.

ReMark Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Maybe we're talking about two different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuns Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My bad, I meant architectural precast not structural. http://redondomfg.com/ This is the website of the company I work for just so that we can be sure were talking about the same thing.

ReMark Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We seem to be talking about two different things then. Probably time to end this conversation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
