UNITS (be certain that it is in Inches)
OSNAP - options for snapping
LAYERS (Each Material shall have it's own Layer; ie. Win_Glass_Type1, Glass_Type_2, Win_Mullion, Door_Wood, Door_Frame, etc.  The Layers change as the material changes)
PROPERTIES

PL - POLYLINE
JOIN (to join separate Polylines)

OFFSET
MOVE
COPY
SCALE

ZOOM - EXTENTS (Z - E)
ZOOM - SELECTED (Z - S)

Ctrl + C - Copy
Ctrl + V - Paste
Ctrl + Tab - Jump between CAD Drawings
PLOT - Plot settings
Plot Style Table (Top Right in Plot Settings) --> Create a New ctb file from scratch with the class settings (see post)


CAD to Rhino (save CAD as a 2004 or previous version; open CAD file with Rhino 4.0)
Changing Viewports, utilizing the one that is most relevant to building the model.

Commands

• DI - check Distances
• AA - to calculate areas --> you can add more than one area --> you can subtract areas
• Creating round objects --> ARC or C - Circle
• MI - Mirror object
• for a specific angle --> type: @20'<45d <-- 20' = distance (variable);  < = angle;  45d = the degrees of the angle
• SNAPANG - Create a new angle to draw with (default is at 0 degrees)

Drawing a Floor Plan -

• create layers (ie. a-.....)
• create walls + partitions
• create door + windows
• create hatch for walls 
• create steps to exterior

Drawing an Elevation -

• create elevation layers (ie. e-.....)
• create exterior walls
• create window + door openings

Text + Dimensions:

• Format --> Text Style --> Edit your Text Settings --> add new Text Sizes for various Scales (ie. 4058_1-4, 4058_1-8, etc.)
• T - Create a Text box
• DIMSTYLE - create / edit Dimensions 
• DIM - create a basic Dimension
• Annotate has multiple Dimension options

Xref - Link External References onto a Drawing

• create a Title Sheet for all drawings
• Use Floor Plans an XREF before adding notes, dimensions, north arrow, room names
• insert image as an XREF --> set the layer as Defpoints to ensure it does NOT print
• Scale said image to the appropriate Dimension.  Use a known reference point.

Assignment No. 2 Posted
Commands

• DI - check Distances
• AA - to calculate areas --> you can add more than one area --> you can subtract areas
• Creating round objects --> ARC or C - Circle
• MI - Mirror object
• for a specific angle --> type: @20'<45d <-- 20' = distance (variable);  < = angle;  45d = the degrees of the angle
• SNAPANG - Create a new angle to draw with (default is at 0 degrees)

Paper Space - Organize your Model Space Views

• XREF Title Sheet for all drawings within Paper Space
• MVIEW - Creates views into Model Space --> Make sure you set up the scales for these views (bottom right) --> make sure that the views are in Defpoints --> you may creat multiple views with multiple scales
• PSLTSCALE - make sure this is set to "0" so that the scale in MS and PS are the same
• PS - used to get out of a particular Mview (clicking outside the box also works)
• Ctrl + R - jump between different Mviews
• XREF Title Sheet --> make sure that you add text that pertains to that specific drawing  

DEC 16, 2012:

Quiz No 1
Commands

• PU - Purge drawing to be rid of unwanted layers
• ARRAY - Rectangular (select # of rows, columns, object spacing for both) + Polar Array (select center point, rotation, # of objects)

Assignment No. 4 - Comparisons

Assignment No. 4 :

1: File - Save as - [Last Name][First Name]_ARC4058_Assignment_3_[detail type, ie. Wall_Panel, Interior Ceiling, etc.]

2: New File - 11" x 17" - Resolution at 200 pixels/inch - Color Mode at RGB Color

3: Assignment: Modeled and Rendered Details Comparisons.  With Rhino 4.0, model any detail within or throughout your Assignment No. 2 Building + a comparable detail in the other building option.  You shall have a model Print Screen of your detail beside a Rendered detail. The Rendered version shall have arrows or lines pointing out the different components that make up the detail.  There shall be a minimum of 3 components that make up each detail.  The Model Print Screen and the Rendered Model Shall be roughly the same angle and scale.

• 3 different components (minimum) per detail.  They shall be called out (be consistent with font!).
• Be sure that the detail is unique to you building.
• Each 11" x 17" Sheet shall have 2 modeled versions (with the different layers separated by colors) and 2 rendered views (V-ray render).  
• *BONUS 1* Do the same thing for other details (separate sheet).
• *BONUS 2* Do the same thing for other details (separate sheet).

4: Label Each Drawing - ie. Interior Gallery Ceiling, Typical Exterior Wall Panels, Window Detail, etc. 

5. Briefly compare / contrast the details modeled of each building.

6: Save file as PSD (Photoshop Document) - Save file as PDF

7: Post JPEG on Blog (top-right corner : New Post - Insert JPEG - Publish Post!) ONLY if you have any questions pertaining to the assignment.  You do NOT need to post on the blog for this assignment.

Due Date:  @ Final - 12-5-2012
