Assignment_2 Exercise_3

Draw two plan drawings of your object at a scale of 1:1 in 2-D program of your choice.

Plan_1: Top view of the water delivery device.
Plan_2: bottom view of the water delivery device.

Be analytical in your drawing. Remember that each line can be manipulated through line weight and line type. Furthermore, the layout of each plan should be carefully considered. The end product should show a consistency of technique, reflecting the critical thought that will have gone into the drawing.

Start drawing the object in this order:
1) Open a new drawing file in the program of your choice.
2) Save the drawing as: your initials_H2ODev_PO_Ex1 (xxx_H2ODEv_PO_ex1)
3) Draw one cube/ rectangular prism that the object fits in. Make this layer 1.
4) Draw the centroids with center lines (i.e. dot dash dot dash). Make this layer 2.
5) Draw the axes. Make this layer 3.

The drawing should be at 1:1 scale. For Wednesday, choose paper size that best fits your object, and printout.
Create a folder on the desktop of your computer labeled 2502. Place your drawing file in that folder.

Assigment_2

Become familiar with the architectural language of plan, section, and elevation. These are the words which architects employ to describe architectural projects and spaces.

In this project, you will be asked to unravel the object from the beginning to the end. You will make drawings that describe the selected object. Drawings should be executed in a 2-D program such as AutoCAD or the draft mode in Form-Z.

In order that the objects are drawn faithfully to the way you see them, a method must be developed by each student to measure, map and draw the object. The subjectivity of your point of view is an important part of your observations and documentation. For that reason, it is crucial that your method be consistent throughout the drawing exercise. Be thoughtful and consistent about the construction of your drawing. Develop a series of line weights that describe your object.
