Complete 3D Model of Case Study House and Orthographic Drawings of Case Study House

Screenshot Sections.JPG
For this exercise you will need to complete and correct errors in your case study house 3d model, as well as produce orthographic drawings at 1/8"=1' from your 3dmodel using Rhinoceros and Adobe Illustrator. These drawings will originate from the Make2d command in Rhino to create 2D digital drawings of the project, applying line weights in Adobe Illustrator. Emphasis should be placed on layer organization in both your 3d model and 2D linework, orthographic drawing techniques, and careful and consistent use of lineweight.
Assessment objectives

Assessment objectives include:

  • Ability to align separate drawings and their elements
  • Use of basic 3D Rhino Commands
  • Arrangement of 3D elements
  • Ability to include 3D and 2d details
  • Scaling and exporting 2d drawings at 1/8"=1'
  • Use of Construction Lines to Relate Drawings Orthographically
  • Organization of Layers in Rhino and Adobe Illustrator which result in a hierarchy of linetypes and lineweights
  • Use of annotations including a graphic scale, section cut lines, text label, and a north arrow for each plan drawing, a graphic scale and text label for each section drawing, and a graphic scale and text label for elevation drawings.
Exercise Type Problem Set
Evaluation Criteria
High Pass
3D model includes terrain, walls, structure, and openings for windows and stairs. Previous layer organization is maintained. Drawings scaled correctly. At least 6 layers organizing linetypes and lineweight well. Drawings are organized via construction lines and annotations to relate information to one another, orthographically.
Pass
3D model includes terrain, walls, structure, and openings, but with clear errors. Previous layer organization is messy. Drawings scaled correctly. Various linetypes and lineweights are present, but several are missing. Construction lines are sparse, but drawings are organized orthographically. Drawings contain some issues.
Low Pass
Incomplete 3D model, missing various key elements. No layer organization. Drawings scaled incorrectly. All drawing is done using one linetype or lineweight. No construction lines present, drawings are not organized orthographically.Information is unclear.
Fail
no submission
Uses Tool(s) Tool:Rhino v4.x , Tool:Illustrator CS5
Uses Workflow(s) Workflow:210577 , Workflow:872289

Guidelines

For your presentations, you will not be able to rely on other drawings, screenshots in your sketchbook, or laptops with your 3d model open, in order to discuss the project. Therefore, you must distill the various alignments, manipulations, rotations, and originating moves that went into your 3d model back to a 2-dimensional representation. Architects must do this at every step in their process. For this exercise each student will complete their 3d case study house models and use them to produce drawings according to the above criteria. Drawings will need to be appropriately scaled, and digital 2D .pdf files should contain a hierarchy of linetypes and lineweights that represent the different line weights and line types used in their appropriate conventions in orthographic drawing.

Deliverables

  • 3d model uploaded as a .3dm file
  • 1/8"=1' Plan(s), showing context and with topo information when necessary
  • 1/8"=1' Two Sections (One Long section, one Cross section)
  • 1/8"=1' One Elevation

The emphasis of this exercise is to get the complete major elements of the model, including the structural system and walls, as well as detail the model with window framing elements, furniture, and the like in great detail. Maintain elements of the building in 3D on separate layers, maintaining a similar 3D layer hierarchy to stay as organized in the modeling process as possible, as well as during the 2d drawing process as you export linework into Adobe Illustrator. Keeping 3D elements of the same material on one layer will help when we move into rendering and textures.

Please save the 3D model as a .3dm file:

Please save the 2d drawings as a .ai file AND as a .pdf. Your 2d drawings should all be in one .pdf file, and each drawing should be related to the others using construction lines:
