One assignment I really enjoyed working on was the Cabinet Project. In this assignment, I decided to make it “physically accurate” which required me to add door hinges and rails for the drawers and shelves. I am quite satisfied with how simple I was able to make these while still making them “make sense.” Another focus I had in this assignment was parametric design. I wanted to make the cabinet very adjustable, which was possible in Fusion through the use of parameters, but also quite difficult when working with different references. To get around this, I sometimes had to reference geometry that wouldn’t get removed, or otherwise break whatever referenced it, so sometimes I just referenced the origin.
