Sections – learning objective for this term

Dear Students

I could not sleep without sending this email reminder about sections.

.

3 Rhino commands to extract sections:

  1. “Split”  Use a copy of your model, make a vertical plane and split the work.
  2. “Section” This will extract the section cut. Take to Autocad or directly to Illustrator.
  3. “clippingplane”  Matthew demo’d this in lab. 1:39m tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdVCiBBnDKQ

.
2 good sectional examples to Google:

1.  “Diller Scofidio sections”

2. “LTL Architects Art House”

The GREAT thing about a sectional-perspective is that efficiently captures:  Section, interior experiential information and exterior elevational information. Even a quick capture from Rhino with some quick Illustrator might be great for those of you with a great investment in your 3D models (very commendable!). THINK LINES! Line weight, line type, text, highlight color/texture.

Remember, its all about process and growth- not about the pressure of a final product.  Enjoy the process.

PS   Again, Matthew will be in at 2pm with specific objectives to help you through sections and 3D to 2D workflow, and AutoCAD paperspace. I will try to stop in again in the later afternoon/early evening.
