Artistic Context

In this Task 

Portions of walls will be created to provide a context for the outside light fitting.

Before you Start 

Create a new layer called ‘Decor’

Turn the view to any Isometric View.

The model should be displayed in Wireframe.

Artistic Context 

Presentation of the finished design very important.  It provides the viewer with a photo-realistic visual of the finished model.

It is generally required that background or auxiliary objects be used to provide a context for the design.

These objects are created for artistic purposes only and strict design criteria would not apply.

Use Workplane by Facet to place a Workplane on the surface shown below.

Use the 3D Boxfeature to create a ‘wall’, similar to the illustrations, below.

Select the wall, then displace the reference point to the corner vertex, shown below.

Rotate the wall, making sure the Make Copy option is activated.

Rotate the wall through 90º so that the result is similar to the illustration, below left and right.

Apply material properties to the walls to represent brickwork.  In this example, Brickwork in Rough, realistic brick was created.  The scale pattern was set to 2.5, shown below.

Material : Rough Realistic Brick, scale set to 25

Render the entire drawing so that the result is similar to the illustration below.
