Recreating a Wall Section

Screenshot ROTO W-SECT.jpg
Using the wall section above as a base in Rhino, students will recreate a wall section. Attention should be given to lineweights, hatching/fills, and annotation.
Assessment objectives

Assessment objectives include:

  • Understanding basic wall assemblies
  • Representation of construction materials
  • Drawing and basic hatching in Rhino2d
  • Illustrator formatting
Exercise Type Problem Set
Evaluation Criteria
High Pass
The final drawing has sufficient detail, drawn at correct scale, with proper lineweights and annotations.
Pass
The final drawing has insufficient detail but is to correct scale, and drawn according to proper lineweights. Drawing contains minor drawing errors, and lacks annotations.
Low Pass
Drawing is incorrectly scaled. A variety of drawing mistakes have been made making the drawing look messy or unfinished. Drawing lacks annotations.
Fail
Drawing is incorrectly scaled. A variety of drawing mistakes have been made making the drawing look messy or unfinished. Lineweights have not been properly added to the drawing causing the drawing to be difficult to read. Drawing has no annotations.
Uses Tool(s) Tool:Rhino v4.x , Tool:Illustrator CS5
Uses Workflow(s)

Students will download the full resolution image of the wall section above by first clicking on the image thumbnail, then on the next screen clicking on the full resolution link which will show the full resolution image. Then save this file and insert into Rhino, using the picture frame command, scaling to correct size, and then drawing on top of this file.

Attention should be given to lineweights of major cuts through structure or material, vs. lineweights of hatching/lines beyond cut/annotations.

Two types of hatching or pattern/color fills should be used in the final drawing, one to represent the brick veneer, and one for the concrete structure.

Ground plane can be simplified. Dimension lines do not need to be re-drawn.

Again this exercise should not take more than an hour.

Students will submit a 1/4"=1'-0" scale drawing of the wall section with appropriate detail, hatching, lineweights, and annotation.

Submit the drawing as a PDF file on the template created previously, into the appropriate dropbox folder on bspace by Monday at 2pm .
