SCHEMATIC DESIGN: MODEL PARTS
FIGURE 4-7
Copy and modify stock
to form the front and
back
ADD FRONT AND BACK PARTS
8A: Make a copy of the seat. You’ll use this
copy to form the front of your bench, beginning
the “boxing in” process that will create a strong
structure.
8B: Rotate the seat copy 90 degrees. Move it
to cover the “front” of the bench.
8C: Create the back by making a copy of the
front. Position it opposite the front part to form
the bench’s “back.”
Remember that the massing model is the
dimensionally accurate “envelope” of the final
bench. Place all new bench parts (that will
form the actual bench) inside the envelope,
aligning the top face of the seat or outside
faces of the sides with the face of the enve-
lope. That way your final bench will maintain
the correct proportions defined at the begin-
ning of this exercise.
