ASSIGNMENT A: My Kitchen Cabinets With Fridge and Stove.

This is my First CAD architect project for the class, So far I have learned how to use the computer program "Chief Architect" and have learned most of its basic features. I think these skills will help me with the class in the future, when we have to do on our own projects, without the assistance of the book, because I will know where all the buttons an features are in the program. Problems I may encounter with the program is forgetting where some of the buttons are located, I plan to solve this issue by asking a friend or Bailey for assistance. I think was successful with the program because I followed the directions in the book, and all my measurements are right. I showed creativity because of my color themes and floor themes. ASSIGNMENT B In the picture, I have been working on my decks, one in the back and one in the front, the top picture is the front deck, which leads to the main entrance, bottom picture is the back deck, on the backside of the bungalow. I learned how to make the program realize that I'm making a deck instead of a room, I learned to make stands on the bottom of the deck, or supports. One problem I ran into when doing this assignment was I couldn't figure out how to make the supports all level with each other, I solved this problem by asking Bailey for help. I was successful because My decks came out good, with no flaws, they are all the same concrete meterial, so they look real. in the future I think I can follow the same procedure as I did this time, and it should work good.

ASSIGNMENT C: For the assignment, I made a layout of different views of my bungalow. I also printed them off to have them on paper as well. I learned to create layout pages and design my own page to put my designs on I also learned to add shadow effects. one problem I ran into when doing this assignment, was the different camera views were confusing at times and i forgot how to make the shadows appear. I solved this problem by labeling all my camera views, making them less confusing and asking Bailey for assistance. I was successful because the layout page came out good overall and weren't bunched together or anything. The shadows came out good as well. In the future I will know how to make my own layout pages. (i got the ole' chev 1500 in the driveway. that's a bonus)

ASSIGNMENT D: For this assignment, we had to create and design a vacation cottage that was built into a hill. we used the terrain settings to make the hills. I learned how to make hills by using the terrain settings. one problem I encountered was I kept getting this huge spike of grass behind my cottage. I solved this problem by making the slope smaller. I was successful with this project because I followed the steps that were listed in the book. In the future I will know how to make hills in the terrain.

My home, which I designed myself is a 1 story house, with a large office, master bedroom, master bath, large kitchen, entry way, and a large living space (see Picture one). I plan on adding a deck to the back of the house (see picture two). but right now I'm focusing on getting the main part completed. The benefits of having this style of house, is that heating is cheaper, due to having only one story. its relatively cheap to build, because its only one story, maintenance could be a little better, the ceilings are high, the roof is also high(see Picture 3), making it hard to clean things. as for access for disabilities, its good, there are no steps in the house, but however, there are steps up to the main door, and no ramp. but you can easily add a ramp onto it. I can compensate for my disadvantages by, building a ramp for wheelchairs, making a high pitch in the roof for snow so it doesn't build on my roof, and i don't have to shovel, i can buy space heaters, that plug into the walls to heat rooms even more, along with the regular heating system.
