WHY IS DRAWING IMPORTANT?
•
Communication
• Ideas
• Parts/Assemblies
• Dimensions and Units
WHY I LIKE DESIGN
•
Engineering without technical theories and equations
•
Creative
•
Enjoyable
COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN - SOLIDWORKS
STARTING OUT
•
You can’t just jump into creating on the computer….
•
You have to start by hand!!
ENGINEERING PAPER
•
English vs. Metric Units
•
Cartesian vs. Engineering vs. Isometric
VISUALIZING IN 3D
•
Take 3 to 5 Duplo Legos and put them together however you like
•
Visualize clear box around your structure
•
Draw each side of the “box” on the box template on your table
•
Fold and tape into box formation
•
Does it resemble actual structure?
DRAWINGS AND COMMUNICATION
•
Find someone in the room to trade boxes with
•
Can you build each other’s structure?
•
What was easy about building the new structure?
•
What was difficult about building the new structure?
•
What could have improved your build?
ENGINEERS DON’T DRAW ON BOXES
•
•
Let’s find a way to flatten that box
Shade in the following sides on your box with the crayons at your table:
• Top = red
• Pick two adjacent sides that also touch the top = Make one blue and one yellow

ISOMETRIC VIEWS
•
Drawing looking at
corner of “box”, not
straight on face

PRACTICE ISOMETRIC DRAWINGS
•
Cube – 5 x 5 x 5
•
Cube – 8 x 8 x 8
•
Rectangular Prism – 4 x 3 x 7
•
Rectangular Prism – 3 x 9 x 3
•
Triangular Prism - Right triangle with legs = 7, depth = 3
•
Pyramid – Base = 4 squares
•
Cut-Off Pyramid – Base = 16 squares, top row = 4 squares
•
Challenge: Cube 2 x 2 x 2 with pyramid on top
FINISH THAT TECHNICAL DRAWING
Draw your Duplo Masterpiece on the isometric view of your technical drawing
LET’S TRADE AGAIN
•
Find someone new and trade again
•
Build their structure
•
Was one drawing type easier than the other?
