Intro: For this project, we had to construct a 3D model of a utility shed that we were given constraints and directions on how to build it. We used a 3D virtual designing system called Revit. We had to take time before we started the project to play around with Revit and get use to all of the different rules. The utility shed had to be 12 feet by 16 feet with at least two windows and a door. The shed had to have a gable style roof and a certain type of siding which was given in the directions. Along with many other constraints that were given in the directions.

Reflection: I actually enjoyed doing this project. It was a project that took after real life. Building structures like this is something that takes place every single day, and planning for this is probably the most essential part before constructing. First of all, I like using these virtual modeling systems. We used a similar system freshman year which was called Inventor. We were able to set all the dimensions ourselves and even create a special type of siding that was needed. Building this shed also gave me a very good representation on what goes into building a structure like this. Showed things such as all the different elevation views, the floor and ceiling plans and the final B-Sized construction drawing where all of the views are put onto one sheet. This project also led to us being able to calculate the price to fully construct a utility shed such as this one.
