Sketch | Allows users to draw freehand lines |
Match the following case studies to their architectural or design descriptions:
Sagrada Família by Antoni Gaudí | A testament to Gaudí's visionary approach, this iconic basilica showcases a harmonious blend of nature-inspired motifs and intricate geometric patterns, serving as a beacon of architectural innovation and organic design. | ||
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao by Frank Gehry | Celebrated for its undulating, futuristic facade, this museum is a masterpiece that epitomizes Gehry's distinct style, where initial freehand sketches evolved into a curvaceous design using advanced 3D modeling. | ||
Nike’s Air Jordan Sneakers by Tinker Hat | Revolutionizing the sneaker world, Hatfield's designs were born from quick sketches, enabling rapid exploration of varying aesthetics and functionalities, eventually leading to a sneaker line that became an emblem of both sport and culture. |
Match the common misconceptions about the AutoCAD sketch tool with their solutions:
How to smooth my rough sketches? | Yes, set the type beforehand or use 'pedit', 'join', or 'explode' after sketching. | ||
Can I undo some of my sketch? | No, either restart or finish and trim unwanted parts. | ||
Where's the sketch button on the ribbon? | Redraw your sketch and try adjusting the type from "line" to "spline" for smoother curves. | ||
Can I edit my sketch after making it? | The sketch button isn't in our current workspace. To access it, type "SKETCH" or use the shortcut "SK". | ||
Can I convert my sketch format? | Yes, sketches respond to 2D modifying commands like lines or polylines do. |
