In Extremis: Drawing the Ground Plan

Each time I drew a part of the set, I could copy and paste the plan view and front elevation into this drawing, placing them in accordance to the centre lines and the model box to the designers specifications. 

I continued to work on the last drawing of the ground plan, but was able to work through it properly from what Richard had told me. 

With each drawing I did of an individual item I was able to copy and paste it into the drawing and line it up in accordance with the centre lines and also with Rhiannon's model box. I started with the floorboards as they were the first thing I did, using the centre point to line it up with the centre point of the room. 

I worked my way backwards then adding the rostra and treads, then the structure and then the wheel, as we were unsure if the wheel would be made in the end. I was a bit confused by the wheel so just did a rough mock up of it to go into the ground plan at the correct dimensions. After my next meeting with Richard I will be able to draw a more accurate wheel, I'm just not sure what materials we are using to build it. 

Once all the items were in I labeled and dimensioned up the drawing, ready to be passed on to John and Pete.
