The fourth assignment. This was to attempt to make a more detailed model. This time there were angled walls to take into account of but, we were only given flat elevations so had to work out how to achieve the correct shape of model.



At this point I was still trying to use joints to connect the model more solidly which I have no ceased doing for a neater finish & quicker model build.

With this model we learned to use printed acetate for details like banisters and windows.

Problem Solving for Sloping Walls

Prior to this model, the models we made all had vertical flat walls. This mean elevations were accurate as seen.This model have sloping walls, but kept the elevations as level views which meant they were NOT accurate.

The sloping walls  would be longer than seen and the likes of window holes in reality were longer then they appeared and in a different height from the base vertex.

This can be seen in a box with a 45% angle plate from botton front to rear back. When lifted to 90 degree vertical this plate is longer.

Below is sketch experiment and problem solved to work out how to fix this error and also work out how slopign surfaces could join up accurately.
