Drafting+Old

Sept 1, 2010
Our first day we found our seats, put together the drafting machines, and made a 9x12 template. Quite a lot for the first day.

Sept 3, 2010
Today we took the survey on the homepage, handed out two books, started in on another 9x12 template, practiced lettering and measuring on a handout, discussed Views (front, top, right), and if time allowed started on drawing #2. [|Numbers, Letters, & Measuring Handout.pdf]

=Nov 1, 2010= I've read through the surveys you took last class. From that input and the work you've done to date I'm going to set the following goals for the second quarter of the semester.
 * Watch the following podcasts downloaded to your computers: The Sketchup Show #1, 3, 18, & 32
 * Using Sketchup and Layout complete the following drawings: #19, 20, 23, 24, 26, 28, & 30
 * Master by hand: taking 2 views and generating the 3rd view, and filling in missing lines given a 3 view drawing
 * Additionally you will make a drawing of an actual object of your choosing and Mr. Nystrom's approval
