Thirteen Ed Online - Built to Last

		Student Organizer Built to Last Here's a recommended pathway for you to follow as you complete your Web lesson. Introduction and Overview: Imagine that you are an architect about to give a presentation to a client. You need to be able to show several views of the proposed building so the client can visualize what the finished building will look like. Architects make perspective renderings for just that purpose. The perspective rendering is meant to give a realistic view of the finished building as it would appear in its setting. Other types of representations, such as the floor plan (top view) and the elevation (front view) are made, as well. The floor plans and the elevations are schematic views that clearly indicate the different parts of the building. Using a 3D program, Design Workshop Lite, you will be able to generate the three required views of your building: the floor plan, the elevation, and the perspective view. You will be able to incorporate these images in a presentation. You may use any software application, such as PowerPoint or HyperStudio to make the presentation. The presentation must also include the following building facts: the architect, location, date it was built, building type, style, and construction system. All of this information is available from the Great Buildings Web site. Step 0ne: 3D Spatial Models of Great Buildings http://www.greatbuildings.com/types/models/spatial_models.html Go to this page to choose a particular building for your presentation. Download the model onto your computer and launch the Design Workshop Lite application. From within the application, open your model. Optional views would be a bird's eye view, a walk-through, and a section or cutaway view. Step Two: To generate the three views necessary to complete the assignment follow these directions: *The Perspective Rendering:* To generate a three-dimensional perspective rendering of the model, choose "Perspective" and "Shading" from the View pull down menu located at the top of the Menu bar in the application. Use the Export command, in the File menu, to export the image as a Pict file. *Plan View:* To generate the Plan view, go back to the View menu and select "Plan" from the pull down menu. Use the Export command from the File menu as in the previous step to export the Plan view as a Pict file. *Elevation View:* To generate the Elevation view, go back to the View menu and select "Elevation" from the pull down menu. Use the Export command from the File menu as in the previous step to export the Elevation view.
