THE LEGEND OF VOLTRON
For this assignment, each student was assigned a secret piece that he/she is asked to fabricate using contours and lasercutting. The pieces, when put together, generated a meaningful whole that the students did not know what it was until every piece eventually came together. The time-lapse video below shows the process of putting together the pieces in class.
The assignment sheet can be found here.
The timelapse video is created by Sadra Tehrani.

Rhino 2D Drawing Template
Layer System and Line Types
Layers in this template are organized from X01 to X09, with print widths increasing progressively.
Layers with the same prefix (e.g., X01 and X01 VEGETATION) print the same, but naming them based on content allows for more meaningful organization within your drawing.
- X01 is can be used for furniture, people, and other secondary elements.
- X05 is ideal for poche in plans and sections.
- Some layers, like VIEWPORT, are set to not print. These are useful for hatch boundaries or for hidden reference geometry, such as invisible snap or scale guides for doors and windows.
Matching Properties
Use the "MatchProperties" command in Rhino to quickly match line types, print widths, hatches, and other attributes from existing lines or hatches.
Printing
The line width scale needs to be adjusted based on the drawing scale during printing.
- For 1/8” = 1’-0” drawings, use a line width scale of 1.
- For 1/4” = 1’-0” drawings, use a line width scale of 2.
