Random CAD/Sketch/Working Drawing Pic of the Day Thread

mightylittle™

i'm always curious to see what other people are drawing on any given day.


i want to see developing details, crappy space plans that are on their fifth revision, partial renderings, unfinished schedules, non-annotated elevations, etc etc.

whatever you're drawing today...planning dept. submittal, cabinetry details, site surveys, massing models, custom furniture, watercolor flowers....

no title blocks, nothing completed and absolutely nothing that's client-ready.

nuts and bolts stuff, if you will.

not for bragging rights, obviously, just for perspective. insight.

i'm more interested in the stuff that gets done on any given moment than in seeing the completed thing. though that could be another thread at some point.

give us a pic/screenshot and a tiny blurb about what it is.

make a piece out of it.

there's beauty in the unfinished.

-----------------------------------

here's the first:

partial view of isometric hidden-line renderings of a custom kitchen work-counter. will go to the fabricator for review and shop-drawings.

Aug 4, 07 2:50 pm  ·

43 you need to use an image site like flickr, photobucket or webshots to load images. Then you can insert a link using the html codes below in grey

Nice one, J3!

I've not been on archinect at all today because I was so entranced learning to use sketchup. I'd never opened the program before today, and in 6 hours I did this - I'm stupidly proud.

Aug 6, 07 10:12 pm  ·

liberty come on, be proud show us a larger image. I've constantly said that the best tools are the ones you can learn and use fast - be it a pencil or some widely available program like sk'up.

Was this something you were actually working on or just playing around?

lb (and mdler), do you use the free version of sketchup or sketchup pro? is the only advantage of pro the layout space?

Aug 7, 07 9:08 am  ·

not necessarily a new drawing, but one that's the subject of a charrette that i ran for most of today.



this site proposal helped us get the job but today we had a brainstorming meeting with the client's team, our design team, and the design staff from louisville metro parks - all coming together to really figure out how this initial 12 acre development and the remaining 80 acres to the east/right will interconnect.

Marker!!!!!!!

(Is it?)



xacto, I'm using the free SketchUp.

marker and colored pencil both. today's drawings were more bubble-y and with sharpies over maps. fun day - and very useful in getting a disparate group of people taking to each other about their goals for this monster.
