Orthographic Projection exercise (part 2 and 3)

Part 1: Following the booklet given in class, draw the following three isometric views showing 3 views (front, side, top). Show construction lines, dimensions, and outline boxes with labels.

Part 3: Create a 3D form based on a chosen drawing using bristol, chipboard, or cardboard and connect with mechanical connectors.

Reflection: This assignment forced me to slow down, and give attention to each step. I needed to be precise and careful with my work so that each part would be a stepping stone to the next. The difficult part was the third projection which was measured in centimeters. Besides converting, I then needed to divide the new measurements to scale it. I would get weird numbers like 4.275 and would need to do my best to measure it out. For the 3D, I also had a challenge putting it together. Sewing it together was really tedious, and I had to be careful to keep it neat. To create the shape, I made a net of the side panels, folding at the lines. I created tabs to help keep them in place and used needle and thread to sew them together. The end was the most difficult part, and I realized I couldn’t use the same stitch as previously but needed to sew it differently to account for the closing space. Though it was tedious, in the end, it finally came together and I gained a better understanding of 3D construction.
