Assignment 2: The wall

My final Model
An overall view of the code

A close at the fundamentals of my model

I was just playing around with the rotation tool when my model started to take shape. I liked how to twisted and so repeated the process a few more times. 


Extruding the different shapes and making them curve around themselves.



Scaling my model I firstly created a box with the exact dimensions of the assignment. I then learnt that my model was way too small for the parameters set and i needed to readjust my model. I then ran into problems fitting my model within the parameters of the Makerbot on Makerware and so I learnt how to 'split my model' into three different sections which fixed the problem. 

I found this tutorial helpful:
