Home

This week's assignment to model a possible final project. Initially, I wanted to build something related to my job as a technical assistant at the theater. I work at the Agassiz Theatre at Harvard.

It is a beautiful place, and nothing makes me feel more at home than being on the stage.

The house is also kinda cozy too!

I didn't know what I wanted to do yet but I decided to model the stage of the Ag to scale, so it could be used to build scale models of sets!

I took measurements of the stage- sizes of posts, lengths, widths, and heights.

I also measured some commonly used setpieces, like stairs and platforms.

I went home and got to working on Solidworks to make a 3D model of the Ag! I have a lot of experience with Solidworks from my mechanical engineering coursework which is why I chose Solidworks.

After making the general shape of the theatre floor, I then added dimensions with parameter for scaling.

It being fully defined indicates that I took all the necessary dimensions I needed, but I definitely didn't, so I admit I did approximate a few things to make it work.

I extruded the floor profile to try to create
