Glass Box
Conclusion
1. How do you determine the orientation of orthogonal projections in a multi-view drawing? First you find the front then from there you can find the rest of the sides to help create the orthogonal projections 2. How would you describe the geometric relationship that exists between the adjacent views of a multi view drawing? They are mostly the same on both because the angles and edges and dimensions are the same for neighboring sides in a multi view 3. Why is it important to lay out a multi view sketch with points and construction lines before drawing object lines? To get a base of what the figure looks like to get a simpler way to creating the object |
Procedure
1. A box net is a flat pattern that will fold into a box. Study the following patterns. Some of the following patterns are cube nets, that is, if cut along the exterior lines and folded on the interior lines, the flat pattern can be transformed into a box in the form of a cube. Circle the flat patterns that are cube nets. 2. Brainstorm additional cube nets. Sketch as many additional cube nets as you can think of in the space below. Avoid nets that are rotations or reflections of those already identified. You may use the attached grid paper to test your nets. 3. Can you see a pattern to the nets that will fold into a box? a. How many squares are included in a cube net? Why is this always the case? b. What else is true about the arrangement of the squares in a cube net? c. Put an X through sketches that are not unique, that is, that are rotations or reflections of the nets you identified in step 1 or sketched previously in step 2. d. There should be at least six unique cube nets. Sketch any cube nets missing in the step above. You will use one of your cube nets to build a glass box from transparency film. You will then place an object inside your glass box and sketch all six orthographic projections of the object on the box. |
