Week 3

Goal of week 2:  Further research the tower, get a definite answer of what we want materials we want to use to build the 3D model, research how to work Revit


Group members and jobs:
    -Renee Pisano         -Worked on timeline Project Libre and still researching
    -Cody Johnson        -Researched a 3D model in Google SketchUp and Revit
    -Paulina Iniewicz    -Researched and wrote blog
    -Carly Alessandro   -Worked on timeline Project Libre and still researching


Challenges
  Some challenges that we faced were figuring out Google SketchUp and Revit. Also Carly and Renee were still trying to figure out how to work Project Libre.

Outcome of this week:
  We figured out how Project Libre works as well as Google SketchUp. Carly and Renee worked on completely finalizing each task that needs to be done on the timeline. Cody found a 3D model of the CN Tower on SketchUp; however, they were not very useful because they did not have enough detail and the scale was way off. Paulina worked on the blog as well as researching what materials we could use to build the 3D structure out of. We decided to sculpt the tower out of clay. The clay will not be strong enough to hold it so we will also have to use wire as the foundation and supports.
