Choice Final Artifact¶
Tinkercad Floorplan of your House¶
Tinkercad: see Tinkercad Floorplan of your House
Tinkercad: 1/100th or 1/50th scale floor plan of your house
Minimal expectation: a scaled floor plan (Tinkercad slice that looks like the Revit Extended Plan) of each level of your house:
General Stuff¶
Vancouver “plots” (the chunk of land your house is on; your house and yard) are standardized to, on average, 90’ deep by 33 ⅓’ wide.
For historical reasons (fires, sidewalks, plumbing service, electrical service), house have to be ‘set-back’ certain distances from the edge of the property, leading to an average house size of about 20’ x 20’
Walls (considering both interior and exterior) are, on average, 6’’ in thickness
Floors (ceilings) are, on average, 1’ in thickness
Doors, hallways are, on average 1 ½ people wide (~3’ or ~900 mm)
Stairs have an approximate ⅔ rise over run - meaning that if the tread (or step) is a 1’, the runner (or lift) is 8”. This also means that to rise 8’ to the next level would require 12’ of horizontal stairs (3/2 run over rise or 150%). In full size mm, this would be 2400 mm (12 * 200 mm) rise to 3600 mm (12 * 300 mm) run
A “floor” is usually either 9’ or 10’, including the 1’ of the ‘roof’ separating the two ‘floors’ (to say that a room has “8’ ceilings” implies that there is 8’ between lower horizontal surface - the floor - and upper horizontal surface - the ceiling. This room would be considered 9’ tall, as it would also include the 1’ of the rafters and finish of the ceiling/floor above)
What does this all translate to?¶
6” (six inches) is ~15 cm or 150 mm
1’ (one foot) is ~30 cm or 300 mm
20’ (twenty feet) is ~ 6.1 m or 6100 mm
Scale factor of 1/100 would give you:
a rough house size of 60 mm
wall thickness of 1.5 mm
floor thickness of 3 mm
hallways and doors of 9 mm
stairs with a run over rise of 3 mm/2 mm
Scale factor of 1/50 would give you:
a rough house size of 120 mm
wall thickness of 3 mm
floor thickness of 6 mm
hallways and doors of 18 mm
stairs with a run over rise of 6 mm/4 mm
Code-based city-blocks¶
Code-blocks: see Code-based city-blocks
Can you reproduce the following cityscape with codeblocks?
Buildings are 20x20 units with random heights and different roofs (by row). There is a 2 unit separation between neighboring buildings. Blocks are a 2x4 grid of buildings. Streets are the same units as buildings.
See below for sample code to make a row of buildings.
Extending: Can you use the following code to alternate building types in the same row? Check it out in action at https://www.tinkercad.com/codeblocks/edit?doc=eFib02AeVac
Final Artifact: CT and 3D Design¶
Instructions¶
In the attached PowerPoint, use screen captures from your Tinkercad assignment to demonstrate how you APPLIED the following Computational Thinking practices:
Decomposition (what was the problem; what smaller pieces did you break it into?)
Pattern Recognition (what parts is the problem made of; what actions repeat?)
Abstraction (in what ways did you make one thing that can be used in more than one situation?)
Algorithms (what “recipes” did you make; what “problems” did they solve?)
Please attach an image of your design for me to see using the “Add work” link below. For:
