Paper folding technique for Fusion 360 model

Hi All,

As you know, our initial intention was that you would laser cut your 2.5d Fusion 360 models from 3mm plywood. We are still having you go through the process of creating those files, ready to be laser cut, and now you'll just submit the file for assessment. These are important skills for the future.

Looking ahead to Week 7, you'll create a physical paper model based on your Fusion 360 model of a Transition Space. But instead of using the same tongue and groove technique that works well with 3mm thick plywood you'll use the unfolding technique shown below because it works much better with the paper you have access to in your drawing kit:

A simple house

An Alfa Romeo race car

Stitching your background images together in Photoshop

Hi All,

Below is some inspiration for how you might stitch your 5 seperate background images together in Photoshop. While our original expectation was the 5 seperate images would come together reasonably seamlessly ... the different approaches illustrated below might be helpful to some groups.

Unable to log into Blogger

Hi All,

Two students found that they couldn't log into blogger today. It seems that they were using Google accounts that were still associated with their old high school.

If you seem to get into an endless loop where you hit the create blog button and it keeps returning you back to log into your Google account, double check that you aren't still using an old high school account.
