I have made a great deal of progress on my house design over the past week. I did finally fix the problem with the grass, and I made the lighting much better. Over the past few days I have been adding two bedrooms and a bathroom to the house and doing interior design.
I have also spent a few hours each day watching the designer work on models. He bases all of his models off of floor plans and elevation drawings, which are drawings of the side of the building or of cross sections of the interior. He imports these drawings into a computer program and then he drags and shapes these drawings into 3D models. The drawings are sometimes hard to read because you (the person) has to translate the 2D drawing to a 3D model and 2D drawing are not always entirely accurate. For example, in a 2D drawing of a wall there will be a line for the wooden supports and then another line for the drywall that goes over the supports. If the drawing were entirely to scale then the two lines would be so close together that you would need a magnifying glass to differentiate them. Therefore, turning these drawings into 3D models is not always entirely to scale, and therefore the 3D models have to be adjusted in certain ways.
However, the designer has to be careful of exactly how he changes the 3D models because sometimes these discrepancies are due to mistakes in the actual design of the building, not just the drawings, and in these cases the architect has to change the design. So when the designer encounters a problem with translating the 2D drawing into 3D, he has to consult with the architect to determine if it is a real problem or if it is just a product of the drawings.
