Progress is a bit slow on this project. Lockdown induced cabin fever was eating away at us yesterday, so we went for a long drive. The authorities would no doubt not approve, but getting away for a bit, along with seeing the sun, was good mental health-wise. Anyway, later in the day I had a go at re-jigging some dimensions on the Art Metropole drawing.
I didn't do much other than add a foot to the height of the middle windows, and make note of all the dimensions. I like to know the distance of each significant line from a reference point - in this case, the ground - because this information helps to reduce layout errors when drawing up the facade's pieces. I find that if one lays out a piece by just drawing the lines relative to each other instead of relative to a fixed point, it's easy to build up error in the layout. This isn't a problem with CAD, but if you're going old school, it's something to keep in mind. Next up: begin cutting out the pieces.
