As discussed in the studio, analyze the three-part sequence and discover a significant joint. Keep in mind places where A meets B in various ways. Using form•Z drafting tools, reinterpret all of the elements within the joint as a tracing. A literal tracing procedure translates the bit-mapped information into vectors. Include all extension lines. Every traced element must be a closed shape. You can use enclosure and Boolean operations (union, difference, B-split) to derive various shapes.
framing the significant joint:
• in photoshop set the rectangular marquee tool to 5.5” vertical by 4.25” horizontal.
• cut and paste the chosen cropped image from the three-part sequence into a new photoshop document; this is now your source for the tracing.
• save the source as a JPG or TIFF file.
• in form•Z create a new draft file.
• bring in the source as an underlay at 1/16” =1’ scale.
• begin tracing.
• use layers and different line colors to help construct the drawing.
• do not worry about line weights at this time.
