Numerics Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Hi All! I have an assignment that my Instructor decided to make harder by leaving specific things for us to decide, rather than give us guidelines, which is fine I guess, but i am kinda lost. I'm not asking anyone to do it for me, I would just like some guidance and clarification, I'd greatly appreciate it. I really think i need a regular contact to help me through this stuff, I.E. MSN/AIM/GTalk. DANA, are you out there?! There are many different ways to create geometry. This example may not be the best nor the fastest, but it works, is easy to understand, and is accurate. Draw the double door symbol. Use A size paper and create the double door symbol. Use figure 6.27 on page 156 as a guide, making the wall sections 6" thick, and the doors 2'-6" wide. YOU need to determine the limits (remember, do NOT scale the geometry). YOU need to determine what layers to create. Since the dimensions on this symbol were intentionally vague, it was up to you to create the symbol. In a case like this try setting an appropriate object snap, and creating your geometry in such a way you can use the snap points. In this example several construction lines (red) were first created, all on snap points. Using the construction lines will insure the two arcs will be the same size. Next use the 3 point arc option to create the two arcs as needed. Don't be afraid to create construction lines. Construction geometry is very easy to delete, or you can simply turn the construction layer off. like i stated earlier in my post, i do not want anyone to do it for me obviously, just a little help ^.^.

ReMark Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 What specific questions do you have? Obviously you'll have a layer for the walls and another for the doors plus one for your dimensions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 What part of the drawing is giving you trouble? edit: beaten by Remark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numerics Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yea, pretty much that, the layers, it specified that i could use a previous drawing that i used in another unit, but it doesn't say which one... I'll try to figure it out from here, but m ost likely, i am going to be back >. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Are these wood or metal doors? Do you need to adjust the opening to include the wood or metal door casings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numerics Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Are these wood or metal doors? Do you need to adjust the opening to include the wood or metal door casings? I am not entirely sure, It wasn't specified, regarding what type of material it would be, basically all that i listed in my opening post is what i was given. Sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 OK. Are the walls going to be wood framed or masonry (brick/block)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerics Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 OK. Are the walls going to be wood framed or masonry (brick/block)? lol that wasn't specified either, can i um.. *whisper* can i make that part up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Can you make that part up? I suppose so given the leeway your instructor has left you. Toss a coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimSpangler Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Are you looking for a break down on the steps to create them? (i remember the rocker arm from waaaayyyy back) still a great example) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 They are all books. The first one should be on every wanna-be architect's bookshelf. The assignment is due tomorrow? Then you have no time to waste do you. Better start drawing...now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numerics Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 Are you looking for a break down on the steps to create them? (i remember the rocker arm from waaaayyyy back) still a great example) YES! that would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimSpangler Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well lets start with the easy one....The Rocker. Start with the layers, determine the needed layers. How many do "you" think you need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many do "you" think you need? ummm.... 2? edit: wait, do i have to create two seperate drawings? or do i do both of these on the same sheet?

TimSpangler Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 With the given information, I count 3 not including the border (if you need one). Object Dimension Construction That is up to you. Personally I would create 2. I thought it said to create the door symbol on A size paper (it didn't say any thing about the rocker) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Everything will go on one drawing. All objects should be drawn full size in model space. You're creating a "symbol" (i.e. - a block) right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimSpangler Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 You are creating geometry form 2 separate disciplines. I would make it 2 separate drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
