HATCHING AND LINE WEIGHTS
Hatching Assignment
We were assigned to use five or more unique layers and hatching patterns on an auto cad design to create a complex design on the zero layer. Professor Garcia encouraged us to use several different colors and tesselize our designs as well. The goal of this assignment was to help familiarize us with both auto cad, and the hatching tools.
Hawthorne House
Demolition Plan
Using the existing floor plan above, we were to create a demolition plan to support creation of a more open concept interior. To do this, I created a 12' opening between the den and dining room. I also took out the kitchen cabinets and appliances and will create a larger kitchen space for the family to cook in. The demolition lines can be seen as dotted lines on the floor plan.
Construction Plan
The next portion of this project was to create the new plan for the house, starting with the kitchen cabinets and appliances. Although construction plans do not show furniture, we were advised to go ahead and add it in this phase as well which included the dining set, and living room furniture.
Elevations Assignment pt 1
For this assignment, I was to create two elevation drawings that represent the kitchen of the Hawthorne House. The elevations were to be of two different walls in the kitchen. Key parts of this project include finding cabinetry and knob styles that we liked, and learning how to create detailed millwork and fine details within a digital drawing. Blocks were not permitted, and everything was to be in line form.
Elevations Assignment pt 2
For this assignment, I was to create two elevation drawings that represent the kitchen of the Hawthorne House. The elevations were to be of two different walls in the kitchen. Key parts of this project include finding cabinetry and knob styles that we liked, and learning how to create detailed millwork and fine details within a digital drawing. Blocks were not permitted, and everything was to be in line form.
Details Assignment
For the final portion of our construction documents, we learned how to draw millwork details and manipulate line weights. To show this, we created four detail drawings that represent our cabinetry from the floor plans above, and a wall type.
SKetch-up case study
Sketch
After deciding what type of design style I was going to study for our case study, I began doing sketches of the furniture piece I wanted to create in SketchUp. This section of the project helped guide me when I began creating in SketchUp.
Case Study
For this Case Study, I researched an architectural design style and design a piece of furniture as a 3D model on SketchUp based on that design. I also wrote a thorough description of the style origins and mention 3 case studies that show the application of style.
Finished Model
In addition to the Case Study research, the 3D model that I rendered on SketchUp had to be one of realistic dimensions and fit the description of my design style chosen. Once the model was successfully created and looked like the sketches created, I ran it through Solid Inspector to ensure that it was free of structural errors.
