09.01 constructed models

Using formZ modeling, construct 3d models derived from your cross-mapped diagrams. Construct a model diagram for each layer of each file (total 15 models: 3 cross-diagram structures each having 5 layers; each layer has a 3d model).

Start with a draft copy version of each cross-mapped diagram file. Make sure it is organized into 5 layers as follows: white, black, extension-white, extension-black, format. Make a new model file, then using paste from drafting, transfer a copy of the draft layers to the model file. Extrude figures, and use the section tool to cut volumes according to extension lines. Create new layers: iso-white; iso-black; iso-ext white; iso-ext black; iso-format.

Major Tools: layers; paste from drafting (edit); 3D extrusion (derivatives); section (booleans); isometric (views; view parameters)

Output: for each cross-mapped diagram set, turn on all layers in the 3D model file; render 45-degree isometric wire-frame; export image to Illustrator; open in Illustrator; re-save.
