Initial Google Sketchup Modelling for the Bridge

From now until the completion of the experiment, I will be heavily documenting what I aim to achieve and actually finish on a daily basis. For today, it is the experimentation of the Follow Me tool on my plan/section integration.


The images below exhibit preliminary modelling and attempts at erecting the bridge (the plan shown in 'Inspiration for Plan' blog post). Essentially, trial and error was conducted with the Follow Me tool to see which result would yield the most optimal end product.

Plan and Section of the modified Riverside Museum.









First attempt at using the Follow Me tool on the plan/section: 








Second, more applicable and viable attempt at the follow me tool, creating arches (like the opera house) on half the plan/section. I am planning to mesh curvilinear and rectilinear components together by having one half predominantly organic and the other half rectilinear.
