Video 4 - Assignment
• Use the office layout and create an
animated model of an office (you can
also find your own layout of an office,
medical clinic, bank, etc. if you prefer).
• Your model entities should be people
and the model should include several
server objects with appropriate symbols
that you either create or download from
Trimble 3D Warehouse.
• You will need to make up the model
structure and parameters – the
objective is the animation and the
animation should “look good”!
