In this week tutorial, we have to create this 2d image to 3d. We have to do this in a group of 4 and divide our task. I'm doing the building, the truck and the tube role. I used 3dMax software.
Create a box.
Uses array command.
Add a glass into the building and change the blocks colour.
This week we have to make a model of the Gherkin Tower by Norman Foster. To do this we have to use 2 software (3dMax and Rhino).
First, uses 3dMax software and create a helix, then copy another 11 helixs rotated around z and mirror. Export the file as dwg and open it in Rhino.
Import the file in Rhino. I use command like intersect, split and rebuild. Then export it to 3dMax.
Import the file in the 3dMax, then use modifier command...but in this final step i got lost when creating the lattice...because all the line come in pieces. I can't delete it as in one group. I did try to do this exercise again from the beginning but i doesn't work.
3. In Rhino, save the cutting plans as dwg file, then open the file in autocad and edit the cutting planes. After finish editing, save as pdf file and ready for laser cut.
2. Flatten the sections in the Rhino by using 'make 2d' command.
1. Uses 'section' command to make the horizontal and vertical cutting plans.
