BEFORE YOU START: Create a new folder on your network space, called FUSION_360. In this FUSION_360 folder, create another new folder called “LESSON_3”. You will need to EXPORT your drawings as .F3D files and save it to your LESSON_3 folder for grading!

THE RELEVANT VIDEO TUTORIALS: You will NEED to watch this video to be able to complete this assignment.

Here is the link to the webpage for this video tutorial, complete with original PAPERCLIP image and full transcript. Use this if you need it!

Here is the PAPERCLIP image from the video tutorial. Right click to download and save to your LESSON_3 folder!

PROBLEM 1: Complete the "PAPERCLIP" exactly as in the video. Please liven up your model a little bit by applying a MATERIAL, such as GOLD CHROME or PURPLE PAINT. SAVE YOUR MODEL WHEN COMPLETE AS PAPERCLIP.F3D to your LESSON_3_FOLDER.

PROBLEM 2: Please use the techniques described in the SWEEP tutorial to make a wire version of your name in FUSION 360. You will need to first sketch your name, using the LINE tool and any other appropriate commands. I HIGHLY recommend that you do this one letter at a time, that might make it easier. Please do this on the XZ plane, so that your letters will stand up at the end. Then, SWEEP it and RENDER it in a material that is pleasing to you. Then, create a nice WOOD RENDERED BASE for your wire name and put the two pieces together to create a little "Nameplate" for yourself. SAVE YOUR MODEL WHEN COMPLETE AS NAME.F3D to your LESSON_3_FOLDER. Here is Mr. B.'s wire name model:

PROBLEM 3: Time to put your SWEEP skills to good use. Please recreate the famous "PENROSE TRIANGLE" optical illusion that we discussed in our previous BELLRINGER, seen here:

Now you may not actually know how to do this, so I will help. Here is a VIDEO TUTORIAL that will be useful. Please note that you will need to RECENTER your image when starting a new SKETCH by clicking on the UPPER FRONT CORNER OF THE VIEW CUBE EACH TIME:

Please use MATERIALS to give your PENROSE TRIANGLE an appealing look, such as this one from Mr. B.:

SAVE YOUR DRAWING WHEN COMPLETE AS PENROSE_TRIANGLE.F3D to your LESSON_3_FOLDER.

PROBLEM 4: Let's see how you do combining a couple of the skills that we have been working with over the last two lessons. Please create a model of a Glass, similar to the type you would get in a restaurant, using the skills from past lessons (REVOLVE and SHELL.) Make sure to FILLET edges of your glass and apply a GLASS material. To put into the glass, please create a model of a PLASTIC straw, using the skills from this lesson (SWEEP.) Please make sure that your STRAW is hollow, using the SHELL command.

CHALLENGE PROBLEM: Include a model of the "drink" that is inside your glass, as well. This should fill up exactly the inside of the glass to a level height. NOTE: The liquid options are very difficult to see on your model. I used an enlarged WOOD material to make my drink look like "Coca-Cola." FOR A SUPER CHALLENGE, CREATE A COUPLE OF ICE CUBES (USING THE PROPER MATERIALS!) TO BE FLOATING IN YOUR DRINK.

SAVE YOUR DRAWING WHEN COMPLETE AS GLASSANDSTRAW.F3D to your LESSON_3_FOLDER. Here is Mr. B.'s model of a glass with straw and drink:

SUBMITTING YOUR WORK: I will grade all of the problems for FUSION_360_LESSON_3 Directly out of your folder on your COLOR Drive.

GRADING: I will be grading FUSION_360 work in the following way. I will be grading your completed assignments and figures each week. There are 4 figures for this assignment, so this assignment will be worth a total of 80, 20 points for each of the practice problem and the independent problems.
