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.
