A few questions have come in on Assignment Three -
"Cubes" refers to the cubes in assignment two - both 11' and 22' cubes.
Regarding cube components - this is a feature of SketchUP that is usefull to use, and can be very useful if you rotate your components in plan as I demonstrated in class. However, you can alwas explode an instance of a component to make it unique. Please, BE SURE THAT YOUR CUBES ARE VARIED - through rotatating components in plan and exploding them. This is the only way to get a continuity of space.
Assignment Two rules still apply, except for the new height restriction of 55'.
"saving moves" and splitting down the middle. Yes, this is confusing. This is simply to extend your kit of parts to include longer length pieces for walkways etc. Just have fun with it, nobody is going to count all of your parts - it will only be noticeably if you have way too many or not nearly enough elements in your design.
The important thing is to vary your section through maintaining a continuity of movement, and develop two immersive interior perspectives that have visual depth.
Feel free to ask other questions through the comments secton of this post.

Is it necessary that the open sides of the cube be on facing sides? Is it not possible to have two adjacent sides open? Right now it looks like I'll have a long isolated hallway, several open-ended rooms lined next to each other, or, if I were to try to vary these, rooms that cannot be accessed.
Also, since the scheme is now concerning cubes, should the long and transparent boxes be kept in the piece, or removed?
Thank you!
Continuity of space is of primary importance, so if you feel you need to open up a cube on two adjacent sides, go right ahead.
Regarding the boxes, read carefully: "all opaque elements" includes the opaque box.
Since the cubes are now "hallow," may we place smaller cubes inside the larger cubes?
Caelen -
The problem of placing smaller cubes within the big cubes, is that eliminates the possiblity of a variety of space sizes - which can clearly be seen in section.
If the possibliity presents itself to have an overlapping condition, say a row of smaller cubes has the last cube in the row transiton within the larger cube, then you have reason to do so as it supports the continuity of space AND a variety of spatial experience.
Would you like us to upload out .skp files as well or just our .ai?

Also, I left my long skinny box solid because it didn't make sense to have a long, thin corridor that didn't connect to anything. Can we cut into it at all to connect it to other spaces? Otherwise it seems like it'd be a disjointed space.

No need to upload your SUP files - I presume from the previous Asg #2 that you now know how to save scenes and create layers and will continue to do so.
If your long bar is not connected with other spaces, this is a design problem. You are not restricted from opening the bar on the short ends though, you could upon it up on the long ends.
