Strengths:• Use of component and follow me.

• Creating dome.

Weaknesses:• Building semi-sphere might seen a little bit complicated at first, creating it somewhere else and moving to

wherever it needs to be placed was an easier way as a beginner.

• Had trouble creating the stairs by using follow me, going back with ctrl+z and starting over was good

practice.

Discoveries:• You can always hide things with right click on them if you don’t want to see them.

Dog House 3.0 – Using components effectively and using 3-D

Warehouse for landscaping

Strengths:• Building the whole project all over helps

memorizing the tools, steps etc.

Weaknesses:

3-D warehouse shopping is easy but

placing the items can be complicated.

To make sure trees and dogs were

not floating around, panning and

orbiting is necessary.

Strengths:

Practicing the project before going

to class helps during the class. It takes

time to follow the steps by the list. Lots

of mistakes were made but the

experience gained worth the pain.

Weaknesses:

When following the steps it is very

important to not to make small mistakes

like putting wrong numbers in changes

the whole scale of the project.

Discoveries:

The video I watched on YouTube to create the stairs gave me an idea.

Instead of creating the steps one by one and rotating them I just

Move+copy the stairs(12x), select the stairs I want to keep and delete

the rest.

Circular Stairs 2.0– (In Class) Creating Stairs:

Copying, Components, Layers, Move, Scale, Rotate, Follow-Me, Etintity

Reflections on Origami Plane

Strengths:

It is a project to practice rotation tool.

Weaknesses:• It takes exercises to know where to place

the compass of the Rotation Tool.

Discoveries:

• Compass doesn't’t necessarily have

to be placed on the item that needs

to be rotated. You can simply rotate

a selected item by placing the

compass anywhere but it changes

the location of the item.

Sandbox – Origami Airplanes Fleet

Creating 3-D Terrain and Organic Surfaces with Sandbox Tools


Reflections on Sandbox – Origami Planes FleetStrengths:

• Creating a natural looking landscape via Sand Box Tool. Importing images and using them as

Background.

Weaknesses:It seems impossible to give a natural look to corners where background images meet.

Discoveries:

• Creating the fleet of origami planes by copy-move and using erase tool to erase and organize

the fleet faster

columns, balcony and windows

that can’t be closed.

Discoveries:

Orbiting far back and deleting

objects such as guidelines from

far back is easier and needs less

click.

Interior Studies– Exploring the experimental impact of light, shape of

space, colors, textures, material choices, and furnishing selection &

placement.

Strengths:

–Shopping in 3D warehouse. I could

find anything I find by simply searching

them.

–Managing to place the items from 3D

warehouse.

Table of Contents

WEEK 1: PROJECT PEAR

Learning the basic tools of Rhino:

- Creating curves

- Rotate

- Network Surface

- Revolve

- Split

- Sweep 1

- Layers

Discoveries :

- Soft Edit tool was discovered during the

creation of the pear's leaf and the vine. By

using the soft edit I was able to give a

natural look to the connection of the vine

and pear.

Reflections:

- With enough practice and playing around, I am now able to create more accurate curves by using Control Point Curves.

- Rotate tool is easy to use, just make sure which plate to work on! -Copy: Yes- is useful to duplicate when rotating.- During the class I was able to use the Network Surface tool effectively, but it is

very different on Mac. So I couldn't figure how to use it on Mac yet, although I can still create surfaces by using it on PC.

- Not being able to use the Network Surface tool strengthen my use of Revolve tool. Despite the fact that they are not the same, somehow I was able to create a surface by revolve tool.

-HelpCommand doesn't really work on Mac as it does on PC. I tried to find some help online but couldn't really find what I wanted.

Tracing Patterns: Maharam Textile

Pattern Iteration Exercise:

Reflections:

- I created an interesting form by

using Drape. It occurred accidentally

and give the iceberg. I wasn't able to

create the same thing later.

WEEK 2: CHAIR

- Chair Exercise

- Final Pattern Iteration

-Array and Bottle Exercise

For my chair I decided to use my textile pattern and I managed

to use the pattern for the surface of the seat and back side of the chair. I

basically copy and cut the pattern surface and place it on the frame of the

chair.

- I try to use "Flow Along Surface" tool to move my pattern over a

surface but didn't really worked as I imagined. But I think it is a useful tool

and I'll try to use it in future projects.

- I accidentally create a bend at the top of the frame of the chair, but it

looks cool. I think when I was connecting the to side curves of the frame I

did it. I am still trying to figure.

Textile Pattern Final Iteration:

Bottle & Array Exercise:

During Project Array we learned very useful tools such as "Curve

Boolean" and "Dolar Array". With a little bit of math and rhino knowledge

we were able to create an interesting space fast and accurate.

Sweep2,Blend Surface, Offset used for creating the bottle.

WEEK 3:

- Introduction to Fruit Morphology

Project

Free Hand Sketches:

I chose lotus root for Morphology project. First step was adding

these sketches into rhino and using it to create the three dimensional

fruit/vegetable.

Reflections:

- I successfully created the

surface of the root, however I am having

hard time finding the tools I need to produce

internal tunnels of the root.

- Curve Network, Extrude

Curves and loft was used until this point of

the project.

WEEK 4:

-Precision Modeling (numerical

input)

-Surface Modeling

-Curve flow and Surface flow

Flow Along Surface:

This command become one of my favorite. Because I tried to use my textile inspired

pattern on other projects like chair I practice flow along surface tool many times.

Other helpful practices we had during 4th week. Flow

along curve, Adding Text, 2-D Drawing and creating layout will be

helpful for our future rhino presentations and projects.

WEEK 5:

- 2nd iteration Fruit Morphology

- Duck exercise

- Field trip

By using Cap tool I was able to fill the interior of my root and I

also created the interior tubes. After creating most realistic dimension of the

root I cut them using split tool and locate to give a dramatic tools.

Duck Project was one of the most fun projects for me. With this

project I learned how to change the texture, Ground Plane and Render. I also re

visit the tools we learned earlier such as blend, rotate, move etc.

After 5 weeks of hard work we visit Autodesk Gallery San Francisco.

Seeing all the 3-D printed objects was fun and inspiring.

WEEK 6:

- Boat exercise

- Turtle boy

- 3rd Iteration Fruit Morphology

After the inspirations from the fieldtrip I got too excited and decided to

turn my root into a skyscraper. It wasn’t that successful but I had good practice and

discovered new tools. I used Twist tool to bend the surfaces and again my textile

pattern is applied on the surface of another project.

We have worked on three

big projects during sixth

week. I feel like we learned

enough to create few big

objects only in one lecture.

This was the boat project.

Week 7:

- 4th and 5th Iteration Fruit

Morphology

- Cutting Plane

Fruit Morphology 4th Iteration:

Cutting Plane & Rendering:

After this point my Fruit

Morphology file got so big and

it was very difficult to work

on. I separated the surfaces by

labeling it helped a little bit.

Week 8:

- Rail Revolve Exercise

- SketchUp to Rhino Exercise

- Final Layout & Presentation

This was an interesting exercise that shows there is a lot more to

do with railrevolve tool. I started creating an vase then used 3 different vases

to create an column. Duplicate the columns with copy/rotate and had the legs

of the table.

With Rhino 3D its very easy to import a SketchUp File. Both design

programs have some pros and cons. Like 3D Warehouse of SketchUp is very

helpful and saves a lot of time. Its great to be able to use it in Rhino. With

SketchUp to Rhino Yoga Exercise now we know how easy and functional it is.
