2. Assignments using dimensions,
hatches, layers, and
construction lines laid the
foundation for advanced
autocad documents.
Learning the science of graphic
representation allowed for a more
complete understanding of 3d objects
3. These files reinforced cad
operations as well as an
understanding of blueprints
and associated dimensions.
4. Garage Plan
The garage plan utilized
knowledge of external references
and overlaying drawings in order
to understand dimensional
relations among different
drawings.
Blocks, numerous layers,
custom text and dimension
styles as well as layout
annotations were all employed
for this project.
5. These elevation plans for the
garage were created using
relationships provided by
overlaying roof plan drawings
and using the associated
elements to provide the
unknown aspects of the
drawing.

6. Each of these parts were created to gain
experience with different areas of
solidworks such as Top down assemblies,
sheet metal bending, lofts and surface
modeling.
7. Drill Press Bracket
The solidworks model below was created by using
the blueprint to the left.
This emphasizes skills in
blueprint reading as well
as 3 dimensional design
using solidworks.
8. Radio Flyer
This flyer was
developed with the
radio flyer brand cart as
the original concept. I
designed each of the
parts making my own
dimensions as I went.
This is the table of contents for my Flyer
and is followed by part drawings for each
component.
9. This flyer is a project created at the end of my first semester working with
solidworks. I designed each part, mated them in an assembly and created part
drawings for each file.
10. Books To The Masses
I came up with a project to challenge myself in a program Concept sketch
I had not used before to pool my resources as a designer
and try something new.
New floor plan
My idea was to redesign the bookstore space
at ivy tech to allow for better flow during peak
times and do so while using the Autodesk
program Revit.
11. I used the skills attained from
other design software as well as
some very helpful tutorials and
trial and error to develop a 3d
model of the new bookstore
space in Revit.
My new plan allows
for 109ft² of sales
area and 61ft³ of
storage space .
12. A painting by Wassily Kandinsky
Provided inspiration for the design and modeling
of this project.
Orientation
Left Elevation
Position
CAD drawings built a foundation
for the concept and design of the
model.
13. Looking at the elements of my model from
elevation views gave me a new
understanding of the flow within the space
which in turn generated many changes in
design.
Using design elements
such as transformation,
rhythm, hierarchy, inertia
and many others I
developed several
different models before
arriving at my finished
product.
14. A local startup company introduced an idea for a game
piece and the above photo is a few of the notes and
sketches i made during their presentation of their idea.
Using the parameters given I created this plastic base
and shaft for the piece in solidworks.
15. I generated detailed drawings
of each part so that if they
decide to proceed with
production of my design the
transition to fabrication will be
streamlined.
I rapid prototyped the base and shaft and created the
rest of the material using cheap, easy to find pieces to
make a usable example of my design.
