Personal Template
Basics to Remember
- Draw everything full scale in model space
- Draw things specifically where they go and only once
- Helps with lining up objects (bolts, holes…)
- Makes sure you didn’t copy something incorrectly
- Helps with 3D (you want to see how pieces will relate together in real space)
Templates are your friend, create as many as you feel will help you! (for specific venues, types of projects…)
