3d Restaurant

When you are finished drawing your floor plan in CAD you will import your drawing into sketchup or 3ds max. You do this by opening sketchup/3ds max and going to file>import> and change the "files of type" to CAD and import. If you do not have the CAD option in the "files of type" box then tell me and I will ask you to email me your CAD file and I will embed it into a sketchup file and email it to you. I want you to import your cad drawing into sketchup  two times. The first CAD file you will draw without ceilings. You will however draw all of the walls, the floors, the windows, all of the furniture, ovens, shelves, freezer, tables, chairs, bar, stools etc. etc. Everything that was expected to be in the CAD drawing will be expected to be included in the sketchup drawing. The second CAD file that you will include in the same drawing is to be be used to create the outside, or 3d elevation drawing of the building; meaning create the outside of the building including a roof and windows and doors. In this drawing you will not be expected to draw anything on the inside. I also want you to create a giant sign that will be placed on the out side of your building; a sign that you might be able to see from the highway. You will have three classes to do this in including today. No late projects will be accepted without a 10 point deduction for every day it's late unless you have a doctor's note.

Restaurant Project

A1 assigned 3/13
B8 assigned 3/16

Restaurant Project: 2 part project

Part 1: Autocad floor plan

Objective: To create a unique idea for a restaurant and design the floor plan in Autocad.

Directions: Come up with your own idea for a restaurant that you are going to create (For instance my idea is a restaurant aimed at the lower middle class working stiffs of the world called Large Marge's Cigar Burgers). Once you have a good idea for a restaurant you will build/ design the floor plan in Autocad. You will need to create a one story building somewhere between 3000 square feet and 5000 square feet. All walls, doorways, windows, rooms etc. must include dimensions that I can easily interpret. All exterior walls must be 1' thick, interior walls must be 6" thick. All doorways are 30" wide and doors are 2" thick. You must include windows as well; for every 20' of wall you must include at least 1 window. There are no limits on how many windows you have but they cannot be any longer than 6' per window. Make sure that walkways between rows of tables are at least 3' wide. Don't forget to switch into architectural units by typing"units" and switching from decimal. Also you will need to switch the dimension units to architectural. To do this, click on the dimension tab, choose Dimension Style, click the modify button, click on the TEXT tab at the top of the window and change the Text Height to 2' , then click on the Primary Units tab at the top of the window and change the unit format to Architectural.

1.) Kitchen that has (label the kitchen with 1' text)
