Journal 29: Sun. May 11th, 2014

H Building started in AutoCAD

I know this picture won't make much sense but I hope after this journal entry, you will understand it better. 



The white box in the picture represents the "space" I have to work within. It measures 12" x 24". This is the size of the stock board used in the laser cutter. Each white box represents one sheet of stock board. The red lines tell the laser cutter what to cut. When I get to this part later in the model, blue lines will represent what I want the laser cutter to indent (not cut all the way through). The red boxes on the right hand side are the sides of H building. They are 135' in real life, but come out to be about 8" in my model. Tomorrow I hope to add the windows into my model. I will be showing a lot more snapshots as my project continues. Once I get the windows and doors in AutoCAD will make a lot more sense to someone who doesn't  know the program very well.
