Lab
Please work on your models during the first two hours of class. I will be working with you all depending on the particular task that you were assigned to do within your group. During this time, we will do the following:
ELEVATION DESIGNERS
Designing and Critiquing Elevations
Drafting the elevations to coordinate with the floor plan.
Investigating patterns & colors available in AutoCAD and Inventor for building surfaces
FLOOR PLAN DRAWERS
Drawing the floor plans
Drawing the interior walls.
Drawing 60 x 100 base w/ driveway & portion of street with proper colors and textures

I will hold onto any physical models once you start them unless particular team member would like to bring it home, in which case, you must let me know.

If you would like to work on your model outside of regular class hours, please let me know, and I will make available the materials.



Homework

Read Chapters 3 and 4 in the small, blue 3D Modeling Book, and do the odd Practice Questions on pages 3.15, 3.19, and 4.14.
