Elodie Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Hi everyone, I need help to draw an interior wall elevation using the Golden Section as a basis for my design. I downloaded the AutoCAD 2012 version and it seems very hard to use. Thank you very much !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 In what way is AutoCAD very hard to use? How much AutoCAD experience have you had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 From Wikipedia who want to know what the OP is referring to: "The golden section is a line segment divided according to the golden ratio: The total length a + b is to the length of the longer segment a as the length of a is to the length of the shorter segment b."

At least buy a book to guide you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 From Wikipedia who want to know what the OP is referring to: "The golden section is a line segment divided according to the golden ratio: The total length a + b is to the length of the longer segment a as the length of a is to the length of the shorter segment b." The ratio is also known as "The Golden Mean". It has been used for proportional relationships in design since one of them ancient Greeks or Italians came across it way back in the day. It's also the ratio of one whole note to another in the Western musical scale, AKA the Fibonacci Scale. Thus, it's also the distance ratio of one guitar fret to another. It is 1:1.6108. For some reason, this ratio is naturally appealing to the human perception, both visually and auditorily. I don't think it plays into the sence of smell, but you never know. Just don't try to get a railing built to this standard past OSHA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
