Concept Development

Using SketchUp for the first time. I've been experimenting with how the files I create can be transferred between programs. Starting in TopMod I have made shapes which I have imported into Rhino and played with. Then I have tried exporting to Revit and SketchUp to play around with the programs. It is the first time I have used any of these programs (except Revit). 

The screen shot below shows an idea I have been playing around with of having a central column. Cables come from the column and over the skeleton to suspend the floor. The column could also be used to support a roof, though I'm not sure a roof is needed as I'm still not too clear on what we are doing with the hexagonal grid structure our buildings are meant to fit into. The finished concept will obviously not look like this, I'm just playing around with SketchUp to demonstrate my idea.
