Sketchup Lesson 4 - 3-D Print Simple Designs


I started by making a 25mm x 50mm rectangle and raising it to a height of 25mm. Using the measuring tool I measured where the shapes were going to be. Then when making the shapes I made sure the ones that were going to be holes were 0.5mm bigger than the pegs. Next, I pushed in the holes 15 mm and raised the pegs 14.50 mm, making the holes deeper than the pegs to give them room to fit. To finish I added my name and coloured everything.
I began with a 50mm x 50 mm square. Which I then raised 25mm. Then when making the shapes I made sure the ones that were going to be holes were 0.5mm bigger than the pegs. Next, I depressed the holes 10 mm and raised the pegs 9.5 mm, making the holes deeper than the pegs to give them room to fit. To finish I added my name and coloured everything.

Sketchup Lesson 3 - 3D Printer Designs









To start off I made a 1' x 1' square and raised it up 1'. After that, I used the letter tool to individually type out letters and placed each of them on separate surfaces of the cube. Next, I added a smiley face using the arch and rectangle tool. To finish off I added my name and coloured the whole cube.




Sketchup Lesson 2 - Rubik's Cube

I started by making a 5' x 5' square and raised it upwards 5'. Next, I used the measuring tape tool to measure where my next cube would be with precision. I decided to place it 2 inches apart from each other. I then copied duplicated the cubes and arranged them into a 3x3 shape. Repeating the last steps I copied and pasted until I had a 3x3x3 shape. Lastly, I created columns and duped them into each corner of the cube. To finish off, I coloured the cubes accordingly and gave the columns a concrete-like material.

Like the First cube, I started with a 5' x 5' cube which I then duped them into a 4x4 shape. Spaced them 2' apart. Then I stacked 3 more layers on top while keeping 2' apart per row. Next, I coloured them and added columns with rock-like material.

Sketchup Lesson 1 - Tiles

I made rectangles 15' long and  5' wide and spaced them 3 inches apart until I got a 3x3 pattern. Then copied the pattern of rectangles and pasted it 3 inches upwards.
I made 6x6 inch squares and 12x12 inch squares. I then copied my squares and pasted accordingly until It matched the pattern.
I made 24x12 and 12x24 squares and aligned them to make the first row. I then copied and rotated them to complete the rest of the rows.

Day 10 - JS Drawing & Animation

Day 10:

Today I finished off the rest of the looping assignments. This will be my final hour and overall JavaScript was a great experience. ✌

Day 9 - JS Drawing & Animation

Day 9:

Today I learned how to loop in JavaScript. Looping is a feature which facilitates the execution of a set of code/functions if its conditions evaluate as true.

Looping helps speed up the processes. Instead of typing out each line of code individually, looping duplicates code in a fixed manner.

On my next and last day, I'm going to finish off looping with some more challenges and a final project and end it there. 😆

Day 8 - JS Drawing & Animation


Day 8:

Today I finished off the rest of the "IF" statement challenges that I couldn't finish in the last hour. Some cool terms I learned were the "else" statement which was basically an alternative to an "IF" statement if that "IF" didn't happen.

The challenges were definitely a lot more challenging than the last, however, they were a lot more fun and I can definitely see more potential in this code like decision-based games.

On my next day, I'll learn looping. Hopefully it will be less difficult than today's work! 🎉
