Workflow

Workflow: Extracting LineWork from a 3D Massing Model

This week's workflow will showcase the steps necessary to create a drawing set of a simple massing form, similar to the Double Negative project. Using an existing digital model, set-up the views to create elevation and section drawings for Make2d. Edit the drawings as necessary and export the work to Illustrator for final presentation.

Exercise

Exercise : Drawing Set of a Simple Massing Form

This file should be printed out at 8.5" x 11" and turned into the manilla folder outside the GSI office on the 2nd floor. Your name and your GSI's name should be located on the lower right hand corner of this print out.

All final submissions are due no later than 5:00 pm on Friday, September 27th in a bin on the 6th + 7th floor elevator lobby (right outside of studio).
