__**Assissignment G**__ This week I've been working on making a logo for my company and making a rendering view of my house. Compared to last week I was building my vacation cottage and fixing my terrain. This week I use the render came to get a view of my house setting flat on the ground with shadows and the view behind my house. Also fixing my terrain so it was smooth and had no rough edges. Also I made a label for my company and in the future I can use the computer to make and actual company logo. I believe that I was successful at setting up the logo for my company because I was able to read and understand the direction perfectly. A problem I ran into was when I was using the render camera to take a picture of my house I kept get a messed up elevation because the elevation was looking rough and i couldn't get it cleaned up. I went back a few steps and redid it till it finally cleaned the edges up. I was creative in the way I came up with my company name and set the lines on my logo.





Assignment F This week I've been working on building a new property, a vacation cottage and fixing the terrain around the cottage. Compared to last week I was taking different views/angles of my house and creating a layout page.This week I've been learning how to use the elevation to get the ground to fit around my property, so my house didn't look like it was floating. I could use this skill in the real world because when I draw out my plan I could factor in the elevations of the land. By factoring in the elevation I'll know how my foundations needs to be built and how many soffits I'll need for decking and such. A problem I ran into was getting the elevation lines to weave in an out. Also when I copied the elevation lines and went to paste them they we're to crammed together, so I had to keep moving them. I solved elevation weaving of lines by moving a line upwards and connecting another line and moving it downwards. I repeated this step until it it reach the end of my property. I was successful in sending my my elevation format to a layout page because I have made a layout page before. I could use the layout page to see individual images of my house. I was creative in the way I made the elevation lines because I had to make the curves on my own.



This week I have been making a layout page of different views of the outside of my house. Last week I was putting my landscape together and putting a shadow on the front of my house. I learned how to take pictures of different sides and angles of my house and later in the program the views/angles of my house will help me view every nook and cranny. In the real world if I was to take pictures of every view/angle I'll be able to see if anything is wrong with my house, like if the siding doesn't completely come together. A problem I ran into this week was on my layout page zero there was a tiny house on it, so on every layout page I had a tiny house. I fixed the problem by going back to page zero and removing the tiny house, which got rid of the house on every page. I was successful in send each view of the house to the layout page and later in the program I'll know how to get angles/view of my house to a layout page so I can look at them side by side. I was creative by the way I placed all the views of my house on the layout page because I got them to fit so they didn't look all crammed next to each other.

__**Assignment C**__ Ive been working on my landscape, lighting spec (Shadow on the house/lawn), and using the render camera this week. Last week I was building my deck and porch for my house. I learned how to do landscaping around my house, I learned how to put flowers, lawnmowers, vehicles, ETC on my property. Later in the program I'll know how to decorate my lawn (landscape) to make it look homey. In the real world I'll know that putting flowers and object in my yard will make it look better and give it a nice view. I also learned how to get a shadowed on my house, at different times of the day. In the real world Ill know at approximately what time the sun will hit what part of my house. Problems I ran into is where to place things, so they would look good and flow together. I fix the problem by placing things where I thought they should go and if it didn't work I would try something else out. I was successful finding things in the program that could be used for the landscaping, in the future using the program I'll know where to find things to build my landscape. I was creative in the way I set my landscape up, like I put three trucks in the drive way, I put flowers in front of the house, and a lawn mower on the lawn.



This week I have been working on putting my porch and deck on my house. Ive also been learning how to use the vector camera. Compared to last week I was putting my kitchen together, putting the cabinets in, the appliance, and learning how to use the Render camera. In the kitchen I placed soffits above the cupboard where the cabinets left space on the ceiling and for the deck and porch I placed soffits underneath as supports. I've learned how to use the vector camera, which helped me view my house in 3-D. I have also learned how to use the soffits for support (for deck and porch). The Vector view could help me later in the course by letting me view my house progress in 3-D form, so I can see everything I've done so far. The soffits will help me support my house so it looks realistic and it won't look like its floating. In the real world if I were to build a house or a structure similar I'll know that I need Soffits or a foundation to hold my house up and make it sturdy. I was successful in using the soffits because I used them when I put the kitchen together, I knew where to locate the soffits and how to place them. A problem I ran into was placing my steps on the porch and deck, I couldn't get them to be where they're suppose to be. On the porch I kept getting the stairs to set on top of the porch and for the deck I kept getting it so it didn't completely connect to the porch. For the deck I went in a different direction will my cursor (downwards) to get them to the ground and for the porch I put my cursor on the deck a little and went downwards to the ground.

__**Assignment A**__ This week I've been working on putting furniture in my house. Making things just right so everything flows together and looks like an actual house, all the necessities that a household would have (tables, frig, stove ,TV, bed, ETC). Also placing things in proper places, organizing my furniture so they worked together and look good. Last week I was putting in my cupboards and doors, all the finishing touches (detail) to get ready to move my furniture in and/or decorate. The skills I've learned through the CAD Architect program is how to make a layout to build a house and what it takes to build a house. From the material, to how much it cost, or the space need to accommodate every thing needed or wanted things (stove, sink, toilet, TV, computer). I have also learned how to use the tools that the program has to offer, like the camera, to get a view of rooms in my house. The skills in this program could help me in the future with planning to build a house from the ground up and how much it would roughly cost me to do so. I believe that the program skills apply to the real world because it gives you an idea on how to build a house and build a house with your ideas. It also helps you plan to build anything like a house, barn, garage, shed, ETC. Problems I ran into this past week are getting things to fit in certain areas, I would have to keep resizing the object over and over till it would actually fit. I kept selecting couches after couches because they wouldn't flow right with my living room set up. I think I was creative this week because there would be something that I real thought was cute or just plain liked but it wouldn't fit, so I would resize it to make it fit and flow with my house.
