Exercise 6a: An object with a use

My chosen object is a footstool. It has wooden legs and structure. The seat park is upholstered in grey fabric and foam. The elements are held together with metal screws. The overall dimensions are 480mm long by 400mm wide by 440mm high.

It can be used as a footrest or a seat. In my house it is usually either a footrest or a cat bed.

Reflection:  

I decided to make a drawing in CAD, as I felt I needed to practice it some more. Plotting proved difficult again but with some help of online tutorials I got over it. Next exercise should go a little faster as scaling the objects will be at a touch of a button. I enjoyed measuring the object and all its elements. Section was a bit challenging as I don’t actually know what this footstool would look like sliced in half, I had to employ my imagination and use my common sense.

Here is my CAD drawing in PDF, so finer details can be seen.
