Prof. Joseph A. Betz, Architect

Course Outline

Projects:

1. Form & Function:
Expression of Truth/Beauty

2. Contextual Fit:
Analysis & Design of Adding on

3. Light:
Form & Order Maker in Context

This is primarily a Digital Studio

(although physical sketch models will be used also and photographed)

Internet portfolios will be required, see notes below:

The external service we use is: wix.com

Commands:

MEMBER => Convert, select, don't erase layout geometry
3DROTATE => select the axis to rotate the three-dimensional element
RENDER => from pulldown menu, select quality and render in window

(note, please use mature colors and not the AutoCAD default colors) or use

MATERIALS => and select material type/color for rendering (it will not show up in Paper or Model space views) and to change Sections all white or add material colors for RENDERING
Use Mass Elements (3D to start) for Project 1 and Solids (drawn from 2D lines than converted) for Project 3.
3D Solids and Mass Elements are different and won't subtract from each other. Use BOOLEAN SUBTRACT or ADD by selecting both Mass Elements
SECTION => Home pulldown menu, vertical section, draw a line, enter,

a rectangular box comes up, look at the command line for

VERTICALSECTION => specify insertion point (for 2D section)

select dialog (for 3D section), select from Result box 3D Section/Elevation

SWEEP => 3D Railings (1.25" Radius)
CONVERTTO3DSOLIDS = > Convert AutoCAD Architectural walls to 3D solids which then you can subtract from.
PEDIT (PE) => converts lines to polylines to make diagrams with thickness. Use Multiple to select more than one line and select width to make a wide line.
3D Solid Compound Curved Surfaces: SURFNETWORK Note (only 4 lines not joined). Use THICKEN to give the surface wall or roof thickness.
Other Solid commands: JOIN, EXTRUDE, PRESSPULL to edit extruded 2D linework to 3D solids
Use SUBTRACT or UNION commands to cut or add to the 3D solid.
See YouTube Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyyWv9PuP5E&feature=youtu.be
SWEEP => take any complex 2D shape and sweep along a path, See Youtube youtube.com/watch?v=kTLcbfOWw2g or youtube.com/watch?v=VVnZjHHz7uw
Convert Mass Element to 3D Soli (Mass and Solids don't work together!):

Select the mass element to convert.
Click Mass Element tab => Convert To panel Convert To 3D Solid.
When prompted to erase the original geometry, press Enter to keep the mass element, or enter y (Yes) to erase it.
