Technical Side of project:
The project's goal is to create a scaled model (100:1) of a Drexel University building in 10 weeks. The groups need to find the dimensions of the building as well as stitch together a 3-D model of photos. The technical equipment involved is a Theodolite (surveying equipment) and 123-D Catch and Mesh Mixer.
To find dimensions:
The group used a Theodolite and Philadelphia Rod or surveying stick to find the distance between the theodolite and the building side. They then found the angles between two edges of the building to find the distance along the ground. This was repeated for each side and then the height became an issue. The building was too tall and on too much of a street side to take an accurate reading of height.
The group was lucky enough to find the CAD model online and did not need to worry about the dimensions anymore.
To take pictures:
The group initially used the drone to try to take pictures, but was having a difficult time using them. The drone would not let the group see what pictures were being taken and would only allow up to 20 minutes of use. The group decided to use an IPhone 6 plus to take pictures.
UPDATE:
The group ended up making a model that is 250:1 scale and not using any of the progress we made with 123-D Catch and Mesh Mixer. The group created a model using only Creo and the blueprints that we found.
