• sketch model

What information can be gained from block modelling?

• how it functions

• evaluate the aesthetics

• how internal components fit together

• test anthropometric sizes

select the correct statements referring to CAD modelling.

• Computer simulation can be used to test the safety, strength of products.

• Can be send directly to manufacture

• Can be physically interacted with

• Can be edited quickly

• High quality, realistic renders can be produced

What information can be gained from Scale models?

• Final Sizes
