Homework: Measuring

ASSIGNMENT #1: MEASURING A ROOM -- I will be handing out a sheet that you can use to measure a room -- it can be a room in your house (bedrooms usually work well) or a room at the school or a room at a local business.  You will be measuring the dimensions of the room (length, width, and height) and the locations for major architectural features (windows, doors, closets, etc.) as well as making notes about what materials are used (e.g. blue carpet, red paint, flower wallpaper, etc.).  We will be using these dimensions and material ideas to build the room in 3D with Rhino.  Feel free to make notes on the back of the paper (materials, colors, etc.).
ASSIGNMENT #2: MEASURING AN ITEM -- Locate an object or two that you are willing to create in Rhino.  Accurately measure and sketch the dimensions of your object.  For example, if it was a desk, you might have a sketch like this:
If you wanted to do a toaster redesign, it might look something like this (with the inches to be figured out later):
It might be useful to built items that can go into the room plans you are making.  For example, if you're doing a bedroom you might want to try an alarm clock or a desk or a nightstand.
