=== My library plan^^. When I first looked at the library I realized really how little room there is so therefore I tried not to move around to many things because really there isnt a whole lot of room. The clients needs were the following; A quiet place to study, an area to hold classes, tests, meetingsm, and a place for kids to chill. I met each of these challenges with different solutions. I left the couches under the windows alone because I felt that they were already in a position that satisfies both an area where kids can hangout and read a book. The only difference is i moved one of the couches to in front of Mrs. Gambles office to sort of fill the space were the computer tables were before. The requirement of having an open area to hold meetings and such was rather the easiest requirement to meet. The only realy adjustment I made was turning the tables, I did this so that they all can look just to their sides to view the person teaching at the front instead of one half of the table having to turn completely around to listen. There were a couple obstacles in the library such as immovable bookchelves that are found along the wall, and I planned around them by spacing everything else out, and that was kinda tough cause like I previously stated there isn't a whole lot of room. But I moved the computers and their table to their own corner at the southeastern part of the library and put them back to back to conserve space. This plan is rather inexpensive because I neither bought any new equipment or built any extra rooms. The only thing I spent money on was the **Bookcases, Wood, 1100 Series, 48"H, Hale which I "purchased at gaylord.com." I chose this particular set of bookcases because it has a classy, inteligent yet fun look to it.**

Assignment A: A. This week I worked on the Bungalo plan, and adding fixtures such as cabinets/refrigerators/ and stoves. I have learned many tools on the Cheif Architect program which allow me to change different things and these will help me in the future with this program so I can customize basically everything. These skills can be applied in the real world when shopping for home fixtures and knowing what you want to do with your house, or modifying your house. One problem I ran into this week was that I could not put the stupid sink in the cabinet right. I was succesful in sizing cabinets using preset dimensions. However I messed them up and could not fixed it. I was creative in changing the different faces of the cabinets in the kitchen to my liking.===

B. This week we added a basement, front porch, and deck. All three were relatively simple to do. The most difficult thing was adjusting the stairs from the basement to the first floor and making it fit the hall in the first floor. This was difficult because you have to use a side view and it isnt clear if the stairs make it to the second floor or not. Also I learned another way to use 'soffits' as supports for my deck. I went back and redid my kitchen because it looked like crap, so I deleted all the cabinets and started over and this time it came out almost right but way better than before. This week I was creative when altering my kitchen cabinets again to match the wall color, I also altered my roof, and bedrooom. Knowing how to adjust stairs to go to the next level is important because I know I will be creating multilevel houses later on and adjusting stairs heights and widths is vital when trying to make then fight into a certain area.

Assignment C. - This is my house with the 4pm shadow. Some new fixtures i added are a fire pit which you can see in the upper left, a hot tub on the back deck. And an outdoor grille also on the back deck, along with shrubbery in the front lawn. This was the funnest chapter because you can add whatever you want to the yard without restrictions which allows you too expirament with different ideas and see what works and what doesn't. I originally tried putting up a picket fence where the shrubs now are but I could not make an even picket fence wall the length of my yard. That was my only problem with the chapter. Altering the angle of the sun and its position so i can correspond it to where i would maybe build a house across the world. Assignment D- In this chapter I worked with layouts and moving stuff from the plan view to the layout plan. I learned how whatever you put in the zero page of the layout shows up on every other layout page. I learned how to move things from my plan view to my layout view, and how they save under two different things (layouts, plans). In this picture the south, north, west, and east, side views of my house are presented seperately. This is basically for when you print the house design out so you can see what each angle looks like. I had to create a view with the a camera and modify my display options so only the house was present in the picture because thats all we are worried about.

Assignment E; Assignment E consisted of us creating the layout to our house using Layout tabs and line tools to both create our barrier around our logo and around the whole page. To send something to my layout such as my house and the different views I would simply have to just click file and then send to layout so the whole process was rather easy. Also we had to create a logo on the layout mine was Millz Co. as you can tell i wasnt too creative with it but you can be creative with it. I sent my house design and the many views of the house using the Vector camera and turning off uneccessary items in display options so the view only showed the house. This will help me lat Assignment F: Page 182 Assignment F: - In this chapter I created a new plan labeled vacation cottage. The Cottage contains two bedrooms with closets a bathroom, family room, kitchen, and deck. I created this plan by using the house the spaceoplanner configuration tool, and house wizard. besides from creating the actual cottage I altered the terrain outside by using the terrain configuration tools. then I created a 3d Render view to display the new cottage and the new terrain. I didnt have too much trouble with really anything. Also the house wizard will be helpfull in the future when i want to quickly create a plan, without individually creating all the walls and rooms individually.



Assignment G; In this assignment I added the roof and terrain to my vacation cottage plan, also i adjusted my rooms to fit the interior design of the cottage. To do the terrrain I had to make elevation points to alter the hieght of land and so on, this wasn't challenging. The elevation tools will be helpfull in the future of the program when I want to actually replicate the terrina where I would 'build' the house, or whatever. overal using the house wizard was relatively simple, and altering terrain elevations was also rather simple, no real problems in the last section. I liked how the house wizard allows me to drag and click already made rooms and their labels with preset dimensions, it saves alot of time which will be helpfull in the future when I need to quickly create a room or even a rough house design. Also I created by logo Design which is underneath my vacation cottage above. I was original when creating my logo by instead of having plain lines above MillsCo. I used line tools to create a crescent type of line. I thought it looked better. I created this cad block by selecting everything I created using line tools and text edit, then selected the make block tab on the bottom toolbar to create the cad block. This will be helpfull in the future when i want to be creative and make a unique/ cool logo original to me.
