Today's class was very productive. Each group member was actively working on some aspect of the project. Gabe completed a street view of surrounding buildings around Chestnut Street in AutoCAD. Walter finalized measurements of the bridge and cross referenced them once again with ADA codes and state and city regulations. Elvira worked on our first neat sketch drawn to scale (Figure 1). Jordan researched building materials for prices as we made lists of what materials we plan to use.
Figure 1: Bridge Sketch to Scale
The bridge, shown above, currently has two different scales: 1 block = 1 foot for the height (y-axis) and 1 block = 5 feet for the length (x-axis). This was to fit the bridge in its entirety (it spans approximately 250 feet) onto one page. Because of this, the bridge seems a little disproportionate, with very large slopes. However, a same scale model and a 3-D model will show a less augmented view.
Now that our sketch is completed and all measurements are confirmed, we can begin sketching more views and the 3-D model can be completed.
