Let me know if you are having difficulty getting set up.

Prof. Montgomery

Everyone,

Our class will formally restart on Friday this week (other classes starting on Thursday.) Most of you have responded to me about your resources at home. If you have not, please email me to confirm whether or not you have internet access, a computer, and/or a drafting table.

From this point forward you have the following options to complete the drawing assignments:

1. Drawing by Hand
   • Drawing Paper Size: 12″ x 18″ (larger 24″x36″ is acceptable but not required.)
   • Best Option: Continue scaled technical drafting with a parallel rule or T-square. (Blick art stores sells a traditional t-square for $11.)
   • Second Best Option: “careful” hardline scaled drawings using triangle for straight edges. A “mini parallel rolling plotter” used for ship navigation is another useful tool for this option.
   • Third Best Option: “careful” freehand scaled drawings.
2. Digital Drawings*
   • Best 2d Option: AutoCAD (if you are proficient)
   • Best 3d Option: Sketchup Pro with Layout
   • Second Best Option: Sketchup Free Cloud Version
   • Other Software: Rhino…

*Note: all digital drawings can be 3-d models with plan and section views generated from model, but these views must be edited as necessary to show layers of construction with proper line weights.

Drawing Submissions moving forward:

1.  Drawing by Hand
   • Best Option: scan all drawings on flatbed scanner (available at Fed/Ex Staples type stores) and format in Adobe Illustrator
   • Second Best Option: scan all drawings on flatbed scanner and format into multi-page pdf file
   • Third Best Option: scan/photo all drawings with phone and format into multi-page pdf file
2. Digital Drawings**
   • Best Option: output views as required and format in digital software (could use Adobe Illustrator if original software does not facilitate presentation.)
   • Second Best Option: output views and format into multipage pdf file

** All digital drawing submissions must include submission of original digital file of model/drawing to be used to check for plagiarism and inappropriate sharing of models.

SOFTWARE ACCESS:

SketchUp (Free cloud based version or Low Rates for Students): https://www.sketchup.com  See Products

AutoCAD student access: https://www.autodesk.com/education/home

Please email me or comment to this post with any questions.

Everyone,

I reopened the Module #1 Notes and Sketches dropbox folder.

Click on this link: https://www.dropbox.com/request/8Ws16Nfbj4tk15LJGIW6

and then upload your pdf files (2 max, 1 per reading) to the dropbox folder for grading.

If you submitted UNFORMATTED Individual pages of your notes, you will not receive a grade until your resubmit in the required format.

Remember you will be graded on the name of your pdf file, its organization, and the inclusion of text, sketches/diagrams, and summary concept diagrams.

Due date: Sunday March 22, 11:59pm.

Prof. Montgomery

Everyone,

I hope you are well.

Here is an update on the course:

1. Module 1 Drawing assignment is now due Friday March 20 by 3:00pm. I will post a link for the dropbox early next week.
2. Please email me if you have not already. I need to have your contact information and know what resources you have at home.
3. Please try to download ZOOM (https://zoom.us) so we can have video conferences as a class. You can set up a free account. This should be possible on phones as well as computers. If your computer does not have speakers and a camera, then I recommend you set it up on your phone. For mobile apps, look for Zoom Cloud Meetings.
4. Set up a free Sketchup account: https://www.sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing/sketchup-free  This modeling tool will offer one option for the completion of your remaining drawing assignments.

Please comment on this post to confirm you read this information and if have successfully set up a Zoom and Sketchup account.

Prof. Montgomery

Everyone,

If you have not done this already, please email me your access to a computer with internet access and a place to work on drawings at home.

Thanks!

Prof. Montgomery

Everyone,

I will extend the drawing assignment submission to Friday next week, March 20, 3:00pm. I will upload the Dropbox request next week.

Best,

Prof. Montgomery
