Assignment G

This week I finished chapter twelve. It wasn't much different from last week. What I did this week was just pretty much make the finishing touches on the Vacation cottage and make my logo. I added the beams under the porch and the rest was figuring out how to make my logo. What I have learned this week was how to make the beams under the porch in the matter of seconds. Instead of going through each one and taking forever to do. This could help me in the future of this course because when I have a limited amount of time it would be a good thing to know how to add beams to a house that is resting on a ground that isn't flat. I also can apply how to make a logo to make a logo whenever and however I want to. This could be applied to the real world because in a job you will have to know how to work the CAD architect program. This week I run into the problem where I didn't know how to make the grid lines no show. I fixed this problem by asking Mr. Bailey how to do it. I was successful this week because the directions were easy to read so it was easy for me to finish the house and logo. This week I didn't get creative. There wasn't much to do.





Assignment F **

What I had to work on this week was the terrain of the house. This week I learned how to make the ground different levels. It a lot more different than last week. Last week I was just tranfering pictures onto blank paper for me to print. Now this week I had to make a house and change the levels of the ground. Also I learned how to change the style of the roof and how to fill in an empty spot that wasn't filled in with grass. These skills will help me in the future because when I make my own house later in this class I will know how to make the ground different levels and change the roof to how I want it to be. These skills can be applied to the real world because then it would give you an actual picture of how your house would be if you were designing a house on an area that isn't flat. Also this is preparing me to know how to do this when I build a house on this program. This way I won't have a lot of questions about it and I can do things on my own. A problem the I have run into in this past week was how do fill in the blank spot under the house. At first I thought that you had to edit the back of the house. After I did I looked at the Render Camera View and notice that nothing had changed. Then I tried it to the front of the house and took a look in the camera view. The space under the house was filled in. I was successful this week at making the house. It was really easy for me to create the house and rooms with out any complications. I got creative this week by not using the blocks for the rooms. They were too complicated to use so I just made the house with wall tools.

Assignment D & E** (Printed Assignments)  This week I was making layouts and learning how to add text and move a plan to my layouts. I also learned how to add text and boxes to my layout. Last week I was learning how to decorate my house but this week I had to learn how to print layouts and other things. I have learned a lot of new things this week. I have learned how totake my plans or camera views and move them to the layout that I had to print. I aslo learned how to add words onto the layout paper and how to make boxes around the words. I also had to know how to change the sizes of the words and also how to add numbers onto the layout. These skills will help me in the future of this course because if I have to print out a different layout in the future I will know how to do it. Also I will know what I have to do to print the layout because I learned that too. These skills could be applied to the real world because if you get a job that includes doing these type of things, it will be important for you to know how to do. Also you are learning it when you are young so you don't have to be taught later on. A problem that I have run into this past week was how to make the words on my layout readable. When I first put the words onto the page I wasn't able to see what they said. How I fixed it was I started a new layout and then I found the thing that resized the text. I was successful this week because I thought that moving the plans to the layout was easy. In the future I won't have a problem with it. I didn't really get creavtive this week. 


 * Assignment C**

This week I am decorating and changing the outside of the house. I added things like trees, flowers, sheds, roads, a driveway and more. It's a lot more fun to work on than what I was working on last week. I have learned a lot of new things this week. They aren't complicated things to learn how to do. I leanred how to change how the camera view looks. At first it looked kind of blocky but I changed it to make it look like a real house and yard. I also learned how to add things to my yard and how to arrange them. I think that this will help me in the future because it will be easier for me to know what I want my yard to look like. Also, I will know how to add roads and driveways and walkway. These skills could be applied to the real world because if you want to be an architect when you are older you will have experiance with how much it takes to build a house. Also you will know how to design houses on the computer. These skills could also be applied to the real world because it could give you an idea of what you want for your house if you build one when you get older. This past week I did have some troubles with making my walk way reach my door steps. I kept trying but the walk way would either be too long or too wide. I figured out that I had to be very careful about it and make it the width of the stairs. I estimated the width and left it that way. I also had trouble with making the shadows. I couldn't figure out how to do it so I asked the teacher and he helped me. I was successful at making my yard look attractive and nice looking. I was successful because I didn't over decorate my yard but I put enough on it to make it look nice. This could help me because I know that I won't have an unattractive yard. I was creative this week by adding a dog and a car to my yard and drive way. I was able to pick out the car I like and the dog I wanted. I also placed them where I wanted.

Assignment B** 

This week I am adding things like a deck and a front porch. I also added stairs and a basement. It was a lot more easier than I excpected it to be. The only thing that was difficult was adding the beams to hold up the deck and the front porch. I didn't really change anything to make it original, there wasn't really much to change. I have learned a few new things this week. I have learned that it is really difficult to make stairs. Also I learned how to make the deck not have a roof and how to add decks and porches. I have also learned how to make the beams that hold up the porches and/or decks. I think that it will help me in the furture in this class because I will know how to add stairs and porches and decks to my own house. These skills could be applied to the real world because it would be easier to see how to make a deck and other things and estimate how much it would cost. This past week I have had an issue where the stairs wouldn't reach the first floor and I wasn't able to make the stairs the right size. What I had to do was make the stairs reach the first floor and just leave it that way. I didn't change the dimensions because the stairs wouldn't of reached the first floor. What I was successful at was once again, reading the directions. This time i read the a little more careful to make sure I wasn't skipping steps. I didn't really get creative this week because there wasn't much that was able to be changed.



**Assignment A**

This week I am adding thinks to my bungalow such as appliances and furnature. I was able to change the wall paper, celings and the floor material. So far this week I finished the kitchen and the bathroom when last week I was just building the house walls and the rooms and adding closets. I have learned a lot of new skills while working on this program. I have learned how to change the sizes of cabnets and other things, I have learned how to use the cameras to see how my house looks, I have learned how to find what furnature I am looking for and a lot more. I think that this will help me in the future in this class because I will know what I am doing and it will be easier to create a house of my own when we have that assignment. These skills could be applied to the real world because it could be a great job opportunity. Also when I want to create a house of my own when I get older, I will know what I'm looking for and what I'm talking about. I have run into a problem where my kitchen didn't look anything like it was supposed to. Some cabnets and counters were missing and everything just wasn't in the place it should of been. I wondered what I could of done to screw it up. So I went back to the beginging of the chapter and realized that I skipped a lot of steps. I didn't even realize it. I deleted everything that I had done and just placed everything the way it should of been. What I was successful at was that I read the directions carefully most of the time. I think that it will help me in the future because this way I wont have to keep redoing the chapter or section over and over again. Ways I got creative this week was I changed the colors of everything in the house. I changed the flooring for each room, the wall paper, and the colors and designs on cupboards and more.
