VR Stage 1: Trace 2D Drawings


The first stage of the project involved importing the2D AutoCAD drawings into 3D Studio Max. I used these as a guideline to trace the main walls in the existing and proposed drawings for the ground floor and the first floor. At first I traced the walls as they were on the plans leaving gaps for the doors. However I realised that all spaces for the doors and windows would be inserted using the boolean tool. If the space for the door had been left from before then there would be no wall above it when the actual door was inserted. I feel these initial foundations of the project (walls and floor) were very accurate.
