3D Design Piece Process / Results - Project Development

Image
This is my process of creating the first 3D piece. First, I created the outlines of my design digitally using AutoCAD and created a DFX  document. Then I visited the laser cutting workshop, where I laser cut the pieces. I chose pulpboard for the material, 1mm for the curving parts because it bends easily, and then 3mm for the rest of the pieces.  After all the pieces were cut I brought everything back to the studio.  I noticed some pieces were ruined during the cutting because of a cutting malfunction so for that reason I took the rest of the material that remained and tried to replace the ruined pieces by cutting it as carefully and precisely as possible with a craft knife. I also sandpapered the edges to be more smooth.  After all the extra pieces were cut, I tested out different techniques in which I would try to recreate the exterior.

Floorplans Process / Results - Project Development

Image

Then I started creating the rooms with the "add room separation" setting by going to the same floorplan icon. I created the reception area, sitting areas, lift, and bathrooms.  Then I added an additional room in front, which is the entrance pathway from the exterior entrance.  Next, I added floor colouring to have a clearer vision of the separated areas. I did that by clicking on the floors and then edit,  and then clicked on flooring from the "style" category. Lastly, I added doors for the bathrooms and sliding doors for the entrance and lifts. I did that by clicking  on the walls I wanted and then on "add", then selected the "exterior doors" for the entrance and ...
