Relatus

After grid assignment, relatus was our next assignment. We were asked to study the relations and their variations through planes and lines. Also we had to work both models and drawings. Our first step was producing a relation with two planes and making its two variations. Then we made the same step with two lines and one plane & one line.

Then we produced a 3D construct with 5 rectangular planes which all should be related orthogonal and with intersection relation.

Next step was using 7 rectangular planes and creating another 3D construct. Then we had to focus on one relation from the model and make its two variations to produce two other constructs. While attaining relations and variations, we should do copy – move – rotate operations. Moreover, the most important step was documenting all relations and variations. Documenting made it clear to see the variations and creating accurate relations.

Sketch drawing

While I was doing the first model I create a relation with 4 rectangular and changed its proportions or surface – edge relations to attain variations. And while drawing these relations and their variations I used different colors to make them understandable.

After that plane step, we did the same thing for lines. We produced a 3D construct with 12 lines (10 cm) then made two more construct using first one’s relation’ variation.

I think that working with lines is harder than the planes. It has not got surfaces and this causes to not creating relations easily.

Finally, we were asked to revise all these relations, variations and models according to discussions. Lastly we created 4 3D construct, 2 with planes and 2 with lines.

Also we had to draw some sketches which show our relations and variations. Belowed ones are my sketches.

Thanks to this assignment I start to understand what relation means and see the variations easily. Also, now I can give critic to myself and see my own mistakes. Creating good relations and documenting them are more easy now, too
