FACS 343 Digital Drafting 2
She-Shed Assignment
One of the opening assignments for this course served as an introduction to utilizing Sketchup software. After researching ideas and inspiration, through Sketchup, I created a she-shed that was then 3-D printed (see model images below). To gain more experience with interfacing with this design software, I then rendered the she-shed through Podium and created a brief animation of the exterior.

Christmas Ornament Assignment
In the spirit of Christmas, one of the assignments for this semester was to design a Christmas ornament via Sketchup. My design features an English bulldog (our family pet) with some snowflakes in the backdrop. This design was 3D printed into the small model seen below.

Church Project--Sketchup
After the introductory process of creating the she-shed, I proceeded to begin the major element of this course: the church project. Given Autocad files detailing a church floor plan from one of Professor Layell's previous projects, I created the church three-dimensionally in Sketchup. Using the footprint, I determined window and door placement and room size and shape, then exercised some creative liberty in constructing detailed millwork for the church's exterior and interior, particularly in the sanctuary. The next step was executing FF&E for the church. Througha variety of textures I rendered the church so that it was fully furnished, presenting my vision for the building. I then created an animation that explored the exterior and a couple rooms of the church's interior.

Church Project--Revit
After developing proficiency with Sketchup, I then moved on to Revit. Using the same church layout, I constructed the building to exact dimensions as detailed by the architect, then rendered the building and created a walkthrough animation of the church. Due to software compatibility and processing issues, unfortunately most of my rendered appearances are unable to be viewed and uploaded, but I've included walkthroughs of the building via several visual styles.
I then created 3 pdf sheets to form a more finalized presentation of the church design. Images of a cover sheet, 2D floor plan, and 3D views of the model are located below, or click the icons to access the sheets as a pdf file.
