a cylinder 1 1/8″ diameter and 1 1/8″ high, cut in half the long way
My humble beginnings started with this red block. I picked the half cylinder because I wanted to challenge myself designing it through Sketchup, since this was my first time ever using this design program. However after applying the skills taught in class it was much easier to accomplish my model. The only real problem that I encouraged was figuring out the correct measurement of my block since I had to figure out the radius. To determine this I measured the length and divided it in two to find the radius to be 9/16” for this block. The measurement can be displayed at the bottom right hand corner of Sketchup.
mini obstacle model
This orange obstacle is the second model I was able to create. It’s inspired by the obstacles that I used to enjoy in the park when I was a child. Although the construction of the model is simple it took me some time to adjust the shapes together. It was difficult turning the shapes to fit with the other blocks and to connect with each other.
