EXERCISE : 2D Floorplan

The first exercise we will look at covers the basics of 2D drawing and the transformation tools we have looked at in session two. You will produce a 2D floorplan of an imaginary nightclub. Next week we will take this plan and turn it into a 3D solid model.

It is possible to produce plans, sections and elevations directly from a 3D model, however sometimes it is easier and quicker to keep the 2D and 3D parts seperate. It is a useful exercise so try and get it as accurate as possible, the trick to good 3D modelling is in the initial drawing it has to be said, so practice is essential!
