Week 2

       The second week came faster than we expected and  we were introduced to a completely new side of the program we were learning . Before we knew it we had already learned the ropes of CAD platform and could now make 2D plans and drawings using diverse tools.

       But this week we went on a whole new level and ,step by step , we entered the amazing world of 3D,where the simple plans we made in the work zone turned into dream houses.

       We started the week by learning about the new tools in the planning toolbar which we could use for 3D presentations . We found out how to adjust the properties of elements  in order to reach our goal.

       The main tools we used were Walls ,Doors , Windows , Floor , Objects ,etc.

       Our first assignment was designing our classroom in 3D . We thought it was no difference at first , but then we discovered that as opposed to the simple 2D plan , we could view the new drawing in the third dimension. One of the most important things we learned was setting the exact measures such as height and length , so that the object would fit perfectly in the space designed . We planned even the smallest details, from the pattern of the column to placing the computers on the tables.

        During this week we also made a model of the Alfatraining building and in this process we learned how to add more stories . As a matter we designed our own stairs and introduced elevators.

We used some tricks so that we could make our project more accesile (perspective,axonometry,orbits,etc.)

        Finally we knew enough to start our very own project : houses where we had the chance to apply the skills we aquired during our training.
