SketchUp Model

After Week 6, the model from Creo Parametrics was lost. From this, recreation of the model was to be made during the entire next week. Following this week, loss of the entire program due to licensing issues. So we had to ditch 3-4 weeks worth of effort to change to SketchUp to finish rendering. Here are models of the Eiffel Tower by G&S

(Measurements of this model will come next)

Update on Visual Analysis

This past week, the model in Visual Analysis were made. However, due to the edition of Visual Analysis, a cap on memory storage was made and so the designs of the Eiffel Tower were split up into multiple files.

Here are the images from Visual Analysis:

Left Base

Right Base

Adjustments were made to accommodate for the arch at the base since the exact curvature could not be accomplished.

Week 5 Hangouts

During Week 5, the team got together to start construction on the physical model of the Eiffel Tower

Creo Parametrics UPDATE

After Week 5 Lab, changes were made in Creo Parametrics to have shapes produce after Sketching the model. Following this advancement, depth was added to the shapes creating a 3D effect. Also figuring out how to use Mirror function will be used once the entire side of the structure is drawn out.

Physical Structure

Over the week, between Week 5 and before Week 6's lab, the group got together to start working on the physical structure. Some adaptions were made to the process of construction.

• Popsicle sticks were replaced with "Mini-Wooden Sticks" that consist of a rectangular base and flat edges to help make construction less complicated as apposed to cutting off the endings of the Popsicle sticks
• Instead of building top and bottom sections of the squares, sides were designed on the wax paper then the toothpicks were glued together on top of the wax paper.
• Since the process was preferred among the group members, the depth of the construction will be last

Creo Parametrics Update

The first section of the Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is starting to make shape in the Creo Parametrics program where is shows a sleek design of the actual depiction. As seen above, this section consists of the leg leading up to the first viewing point.
