First Class

8/4/2013 was the first computer application class with Mr.Angus.
Things we learn on that day:
1. open autocad draw a simple floor plan (using 'pl' draw polyline or "bpoly" to group all single lines tgt)
2. import drawings from autocad to 3ds max
3. added a path way on autocad
4. only import the path way into 3ds max (it should be perfectly orientated tgt with our previous drawing)
5.using 3ds max we able to adjust the angle, plane and so on


*grouping are very important, have to make sure all line are label accordingly (layer)
