Homework,
Heat calculations using Kachadorian spreadsheet or computer program. Please do as much as you can. Book is on reserve at library if you need it.
Continue working on sketches
of your project overall plan by hand or by CAD. finish 6 drawings by Nov. 3:

Please include outside dimensions.
5) Floor plan (usually shown as a top view)
6) Isometric or oblique view of exterior, which means from the corner so you
can see the roof and two sides. Easy in 3D CAD, or using 2D isometric grid in
CAD. By hand, get some isometric paper, which makes it easy.
7) Optional: Perspective artistic rendering
Finish the book if you haven't already.
