week #6 - Project 2, basic creation
Step 1: Cage Bottom Basic Shape I started by creating the basic shape of the bottom of the cage section of the assembly, making sure to keep strict adherence to the measurements of the real world object. This was created with simple circles and lines which were then trimmed. Step 2: Cage Bottom Basic Depth After I had the basic shape of the bottom of the cage I copied the shape in place and then adjusted its height to match the height of the object. I later found that I could not create surfaces between the two sets of curves and therefore resorted to extruding the surfaces of the bottom set of curves. Step 3: Cage Bottom connect top and bottom curves Before realizing that I would be unable to make surfaces between the 2 sets of curves I used lines to connect them together with the idea that they would help me to build the needed surfaces. Step 4: cage bottom create basic surfaces This is the result after I extruded the surface of the bottom curves to the proper height. Step 5: ca...
