Archicad

Today we  used Mesh, shells and other tools  in Archicad  to make  objects such as coffee cup and jandals. We also learned how to make new materials and textures and apply them to the objects

 A model of a jandal in wireframe mode - the mesh tool was used for the base and subtle curves of a foot were added through changing the depth of the "terrain" lines. The spline tool was also handy for creating the outline of the foot.

The jandal straps were made using the shell tool, which is perfect for creating odd objects.

 Our own materials were added to create the texture of a real jandal.

Using the solid element operations, we were able to create the grooves underneath the jandal.

To do this, we subtracted (with downwards extrusion) an object made out of mesh from the base.
