10 Modeling Transformations

Objective:

• To get an survey of advanced modeling features,

I. Check-in on Libraries, Student Sites

A. Final Review Mar 14: change 8:00 am time to 9:00

B. Lightscape option (204 Pacific)

C. FormZ Books at the Computing Center, Uddin's Digital Architecture @AAA

II. Assignment 4

III. Modeling A. Adjustments Adjusting points, segments, faces, outlines (scalepoints.fmz) Scaling Objects (equal & unequal, % vs. absolute) Triangulating non-planar faces Smooth Mesh (keep flat or set max face angle) Defining a new reference plane (window tool) B. 3D to 2D Projection onto the reference plane Section tool Unfolding C. Generating Objects 2D to 3D Metaballs (group, then evaluate) Terrain model from contours (contours.fmz) Derivative objects from faces vs. whole pieces (geodesic dome, derivative 3D enclosure)

D. Arranging Objects

• Aligning objects
  
• Placing objects (develop-col.fmz)
  
• Extending objects (extend.fmz)
  

E. New Objects from old

• Deforming Objects
  
• Inserting outlines & faces
  
• Rounding (edge, corner, edge & corner)
  
• Smooth Mesh
  

E. Combining objects

• Boolean objects (split saves all components)
  
• Trim and Stich surface meshes
  
• Attaching objects (attach.fmz)
