After a group tutorial with Paul we have confirmed the scale and level of detail that our model will show. One major queiry was how to stand up such a heavy and tall structure so we decided that a baseboard counterbalancing the slope of the suspension support would be best. This baseboard must be at minimum depth 300ml and made from a solid heavy block of material. We will be using back sprayed acrylic to represent the water and will need to sample dark blues and black to decide what we think looks best.
We could now start printing out the design plans to a scale 0f 1;50 on an A1 page. To do this, Paul had to convert the files into Rhiono and rescale them by drawing in dimension lines for an A1 piece of paper and re-scaling the sometimes lifesize drawings to the new dimensions. The scale for most was already 1:50 but for the drawings at different scales we would have to calculate the new measurements and adjust them accordingly first.
