Polyhedrons - How they match

On 31st of March class we created different polyhedrons. Each polyhedron has a matching geometrical figure. We tried to find matches for each shape and used several different tools.

Dodecahedron

Dodecahedron consists of 12 pentagons. So, at first we created pentagons. And using circles and lines we found their meeting point. Then, we 3Drotated them.

After one of them was rotated we used 3Darray. When half of the dodecahedron was built we used 3Dmirror to accomplish it.

Icosahedron

Icosahedron can be built inside the dodecahedron, using the centres of the pentagons.

Octahedron

Octahedron is built by 3Dmirroring the pyramid with the square on the base.
Octahedron can be matched with the cube . For this we can use Align command.

We need to scale the object while aligning.

Cube can also be placed in the octahedron

Volumes and Surfaces.

On the 21st of April we learned to build different shapes using several commands. Using pline command we drew the shape and extrude d it normally, perpendicularly to the plan. We drew an inclined line towards the plan and extrude d the shape choosing Direction . Then we drew a circle and an inclined curved line (command spline ) and extruded choosing Path . We can make extrusion -choosing taper angle. We built a cylinder by extruding a circle. It was solid. To make it empty inside, we made another cylinder by extruding a smaller circle, fitted it to the first cylinder and substracted . And decreased the transparency of their layer. Another substraction between cylinders. We can fill the different polygons with the tool region and use substraction command. After building the "construction" for the new surface, we used the command: Edgesurf . We can Thicken it. To create a loft we dr...

Phase II - Final Delivery

For the final delivery we had to insert dwg file to 3Ds Max and give it more realistic view.This could be reached by giving materials, transparencies and colours to the building. We could also set inside and outside light sources to create shadows, which better express shapes of the volumes.The main material in my Art gallery is concrete, which, in my opinion, looks more natural with the grass on the roof and on the ground. In the interior red curved walls create maze-like space to help visitors get lost in the world of art masterpieces.Ramp can be used to go to the second floor and veranda.Moreover, there is an outside exhibition space which goes below the ground level and can be reached through the concrete stairs.
