In this unit we learned how to make orthographic drawings. Orthographic projection seemed easy to me in 6.1 and 6.2 but it got harder in 6.3. It was hard for me to find what needs to be in each view. The one particular drawing I struggled with was 6-59. The drawing had a CBORE which was why I had trouble finding out what goes in each view. Other than that one drawing, I think I did well. The components of orthographic projection are 3 views- front, side, and top. These components required for orthographic drawings. Orthographic has a real world application because it is the way we see 3D objects in 2D. This is important for both architecture and engineering. The vocabulary we needed to know for this unit is front view, top view, side view, hidden lines, construction lines, center lines, and center mark. I learned about all of the vocabulary words and CBORE.In this unit we were divided into two groups and we had different tasks. I was in the group where we got to make an IPhone or a Mini IPad. Me and two other class members chose to make an IPhone. We saw that the IPhone was more detailed than the Mini IPad and I wanted to challenge myself more. After considering that I wanted more of a challenge I chose the IPhone. The first few days I finished most the front view and part of the right side view. The front view was the most detailed view but it was one of the easiest because we were given everything except for a few things about the different layers. The right side view about the same as the front view in the way of difficulty finishing and finding things. The next day I finished the right and top view. The top view was very easy because there were not many things to do on it. On the last two days we did the left and bottom views. I finished the left which was like the right view on my own, but I needed help doing the bottom. My fellow classmate helped me draw the speakers which were very difficult. This standard has a real world application because I drew what I use every single day. We drew what so many people have in this world today. It is the most common and advanced way to communicate today. My future goal is to be an architect. This has more impact on a hopeful engineer but it was still important to me on my road to be an architect.In unit 8 I took the drawings I had already finished and added dimensions to them. The dimensions were what we saw in the textbook that were our "instructions" on how to make the drawing. I needed to use the annotation tab to locate a drop-down menu that had a list of things that were the dimension options. Some of the options were linear (for lines), diameter (for circles), and radius (also for circles). There were a total of 8 drawings I had to complete. I think this unit was easy because you didn't have to think as much as you did when doing the drawings. Doing the dimensions made me feel like I should have done the drawings faster for some reason. This unit has a bigger impact on engineers because they would need to dimension everything on their products. I look at some of the engineering drawings and see dimensions on their product so that made me think how important dimensioning was. I personally want to be an architect, so this was a good skill to learn but will probably not be that important in the world of architecture. I can't wait until next week and the following weeks for architecture. This unit has inspired me to consider taking engineering when I finish architecture I and II to learn more skills in the Autodesk software and get more experience.
