Computer Aided Drafting

Through DESGN301 and ENGR312, covered the fundamentals of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). It included engineering layout, site and landscape drawings, as well as drawings used in architecture and interior design such as floor and space plans, elevations, and details. Focused primarily on 2D drafting in AutoCAD, then branched into 3D models in Rhino and SketchUp.

  • Shaft Support

    Orthographic display of a Shaft Support component with 1:1 scale.

  • Orthographic View

    Orthographic display of three key frames of 3D objects.

  • Floating Arm Diagram

    Two key frame display of Floating Arm component, using 1:1 scale.

  • Control Arm Diagram

    Two key frame display of Control Arm component, using 1:1 scale.

  • Geneva Gear

    Diagram of Geneva Gear using Mirroring, Arrays, trimmed circles, and Offsetting.

  • Scaled Dimensions

    Component diagram using 1:2 scale, fully dimensioned.

  • SketchUp - 3D model

    A 3D model of the “Scaled Dimension” 2D draft using SketchUp.

  • Rhino - Reversible Ring Model

    The unrendered orthographic view of the 3d ring model inside Rhino 3D.

  • Rhino - Reversible Ring

    3D model of reversible ring with moving shanks and double mounted bezel. See Jewelry Design page for more details.

  • Rhino - Acrostic ring

    Used Boolean unions, subtractions, and sweeping rails to design a acrostic ring

  • Rhino - Vintage Cosmetics

    Quick model of vintage cosmetics from a Michel cosmetics ad from the 1950’s. Objects include lipstick, lotion bottle, mascara, rouge, face powder, face cream, and moisturizer.

  • Rhino- Chocolate Box

    3D model attempt in Rhino of a heart chocolate box. I tried to experiment with different shapes and commands like extruding curves and polar arrays. Primarily offset 2D curves then extruded into 3D to create uniform objects.

  • Rhino - Side Stage Light

    Profile view of an Altman Ellipsoidal Stage Light. An ellipsoidal light uses a series of mirrors and lenses to increase the spread and intensity of light emitted from a single source and usually includes a frame for colored gels to insert into in front of the lens. It also includes 4 fins to adjust the flood of the light in case you need it to avoid hitting specific structures.

  • Rhino - Front Stage Light

    Front view of Altman Ellipsoidal Stage Light. I included several mirrors and lenses inside the structure to replicate the effect used in an ellipsoidal stage light.

  • Rhino - Diagonal Stage Light

    Diagonal view of Altman Ellipsoidal Stage Light. I put a lot of effort into including all the details in the light, from the vents to the ridges to the gel slot and the adjustable fins.

  • Rhino - Googie Architecture

    Model attempt of the iconic Norm’s Diner. Googie Architecture is an art style synonymous with the midcentury movement of the 50s/60s and incorporates eyecatching, geometric shapes into its building design.

  • Rhino - Norm's

    Top angle view of the Norm’s Diner model

  • Rhino - Norm's WIP

    Wireframe view of Norm’s model
