Screencasting

Today I used the program Screencastify to screencast the process of creating an Isometric model. The program is free, so I was able to download it onto Chrome. I was assigned the 6th isometric model to create a tutorial on. The process was fun; I enjoy speaking and explaining to people, and this video gave me a chance to do so.

The way Screencastify works is quite easy. You simply hit the "record" button and begin speaking. Because I downloaded the free version, the screencast can only run up to ten minutes total. I had to thoroughly plan out what I wanted to say before recording. However, once I began, the rest came naturally.

Once completed, I uploaded my video tutorial to YouTube. The video can be found in the link below!

Isometric Models Day 2

Today we continued to work on our Isometric Models. Now that Mr. Sinde has gone through some of the tools, it's now up to us to continue to perfect our skills. So far, I have had a lot of fun working with Inventor. I hope we are taught how to use more tools in the program. With this knowledge, who knows what I'll be able to create?

Isometric Models Day 1

Today we continued to practice using Autodesk Inventor. Last class, I needed to finish up the Unit 4 Test on 3D Modeling, so this was my first day practicing after the Puzzle Cube Project. The new assignment is to create 3D objects on Inventor by following a PDF file full of various shapes. The file contains up to 20 shapes which we need to complete within the next few classes.

The new techniques introduced to us involved how to create arcs and holes. As always, it is important to begin with a 2D sketch before moving on to a 3D one. This prevents confusion in dimensioning and depth. There are many ways to create a part in Inventor; however, it is best to find the most efficient way. By starting with 2D sketches, I was able to recreate the object portrayed above.
