Purpose: Introduce basic 3D modeling strategies. 

Description: We will begin by covering some of the most commonly used 3D commands used in Rhino and seeing how they apply to different scenarios. 

Materials: Rhino 3D, Measuring tools (caliper/rulers), Pen, Paper

Homework Instructions: After completing the practice commands, you will be tasked with modeling a component or basic form related to your Open Innovation project. Try to choose a form that requires multiple types of 3D operations (i.e. extrusions, revolutions, booleans, sweeps, lofts, etc). After planning and sketching, translate this object into 3D. These forms should be modeled at 1:1 scale in Rhino. Challenge yourself and push beyond simple forms. Remember, most objects that seem complex can be modeled through a combination of very simple shapes. You can reference the Rhino training manuals found here. If you get stuck, the help tab within Rhino can walk you through various commands. Please post your screenshots and .3dm files in your documentation folder. 

Best of Luck!

Deliverables: 

1. Screen shots of your final model
2. An uploaded Rhino file (.3dm)
