    Doing output 1, would it be correct to place the brief in the center and then do maybe 5 boxes around it detailing history, appearance etc.?

    Btw is this a 6th year thing? Because Im in 5th

    autocad i ****ing hate useing it
    ....AUTOCAD!!!
    ....ITS nothing like solidworks and of little or no benefit for DCG!!!...I have both and while it has its uses its really not suitable for the course or project..the command system is completly different and its not capable of the "photorealistic images" drawing anything in 3d is waay more complex!!

    I'm more or less in the same boat, doing the OL assignment though.

    What is expected in terms of applying your exploration of the brief into the folder? Should you note your thought process in output 1?
    I'm pretty OK with the presentation of the 'existing artefacts in graphical format' just going to note the important milestones in a cycle and develop the remote from when it was 1st used in the 1950's

    Does this approach seem right? And opinions on the exploration of brief part are much appreciated...

    Remote control is ordinary level, docking station is higher level, you have to decide which level you are doing now afaik!

    That drawing aint bad! Whats modifications will you make to it? Or a new concept design? Nice docking station tbh, what make/model is it? easy to draw freehand and all the rest aswell, may look into that some day now, ive been looking at the first few pages moreso.
    Cheers,found it searching,only rough dimensions though,,

    You cant do it at home as all work has to be done under your individual student id account on yours school's network.

    Ah not too bad at all! Will be done the first 3 outputs by christmas at least, then will do all the solidworks stuff over christmas, come back and it should take a week or so to reproduce. Pending the school is open with all these cutbacks and the like! Then the modding part shoudl take 2 weeks, hopefully and ill be finished just before the mocks, or thats the plan anyway
