Documentation and Replicability
I have told you over and over that REPLICABILITY is your MANTRA
CHANT with me now REPLICABILITY, REPLICABILITY ommmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I may change fonts, but I will not change my message. You must be able to replicate your work so that other can do what you do so that you can sell it, and, you must be able to measure the effects that you promise so that you say that it is anything other than art.
Art is awesome.
But this is science and engineering.
When you have designed your prototype puzzle cube for cubes cubed. You need a presentation medium as well as documentation from multiple perspectives, a variety of options if possible, cost potentials -- choice can be advantageous -- as well as a means for how you can project figures and cost benefit analysis. This is why we work in teams.
We will be working to do this in LayOut.
Please watch this video and be ready to go over how we might prepare your project for LayOut and documentation as a walkthrough hybrid/sales package.

"But this is science and engineering."
ReplyDeleteI think we're located near the intersection of art and technology.
While LayOut is very cool, it is the tool that's not included with the free version of SketchUp.
If only we had an academic license for SketchUp Pro.
I think you should go and get the pro version for free as an institutional gimme like I did
ReplyDeleteLet's discuss it with Warren when he gets back from China. Maybe he could grab it for the department, as an "institutional gimme" or purchase it. Or does the school have the 'Pro Version'?
