Short: Corbusier-house-model(MCAD2/DXF/HPGL/PS) Author: schmitju@trier.fh-rpl.de (Juergen Schmitz) Uploader: schmitju trier fh-rpl de (Juergen Schmitz) Type: gfx/misc Version: 1.1 Replaces: gfx/misc/corb.lha Architecture: generic Model of Corbusier-House (1924) in MaxonCAD2, DXF and HPGL-format This archive includes my first 2D-CAD-work, done for an exam in "building construction" at the Fachhochschule Rheinland-Pfalz, Department Trier. Everything was created with the great & fast 2D-CAD-Program MaxonCad2.5 on an Amiga2000 with 68030/FPU-processor-board and 7MB-Ram (more then enough!). To create a similiar house on a PC you need lots of more RAM and VirtualMemory... Amiga rulez! I had to spend a lot of time in order to create all the views, repairing computer&plotter-hardware, cleaning pens, doing corrections, finding out what to do (I'm not a student of archictecture!), negotiating new deadlines ... So enjoy this work! It should be a good inspiration to take a closer look at it if you have to do something similiar with MaxonCad. The main reason for uploading this file to the aminet was that i wasn't able to find something similiar. I just found some Corbussier-models on the Web, but not the right one :-( HISTORY Version 1.0 First release 1.1 - Added Postscript-Files to give Amiga-Users without Plotter at home a chance to preview the model even without a CAD- program and to use the model as clipart for DTP etc. - Changed LEGAL-notice - Added one more BUG, detected by an AUTO-CAD-User FILES: The archive corbusie.lha includes the following files: Corbusie.mc2 Model in MaxonCAD2-Format ( M 1:50) Corbusie.mc2.info corbusie.readme You are reading this file! corbusie.hpg Plotting-file in HPGL, DIN A1 (M 1:50) corbusie.dxf Model in DXF-format corbusie.ps (NEW!) Ready-To-Print-File in Postscript(DIN-A4) Note: M 1:120 (it just fits on A4!) corbusie.eps (NEW!) EPS-File to use the model for example in illustrations with DTP-programs LEGAL: Feel free to spread this archive (only the complete one!) all over the world as long as you don't use it for commercial purposes. I explicitly don't allow to use my work for commercial purposes without my personal permission! Remember: The structure of the house-model is quite unique and it's easy for me to recognize my quite unique way of using layers :-) HINTS: Plot the HPGL-File only on DIN-A1-capable Plotters with the following Pen-sizes: Pen0: 0.25mm Pen1: 0.35mm Pen2: 0.50mm Pen3: 0.70mm I suggest to use High-Quality-pens and special paper to achieve the best possible quality. GOOD LUCK! ANNOTATIONS: Nobodys perfect. Feel free to report bugs to me! It would be a great help for future projects and increase my will to upload more nice stuff. KNOWN BUGS: - The width of the staircase is OK to walk on, but i have to add 24cm's to fulfill my task ("95cm lichtes Mass") perfectly in future releases - Due to time and program-limitations (hopefully Maxon continues the development on MaxonCad2.5) i had problems in rescaling fonts... - MaxonCAD2.5 does not support different line-widths in the DXF-format THANKS TO: - Cornelia Hellstern and Daniela Valentini (students of Architecture) for their great help in doing corrections, annotations, explaining technical details and the moral support while i was shocked by the expensive hardware failures of my computer. - Willi Thein for helping me to solve plotter-problems - Andreas Schroeder for the 2nd deadline which was necessary because my Amiga was nearly dead (2MBRam, HD-Controller and the floppy-disk- drive failed and required to replaced by expensive new stuff to continue working ...) - BRONCO (irc-nickname) for his inspiration in doing "the perfect plot" - everybody in #amigager (IRC) who tried to help me in fixing my hd-controller-hardware-problems by software solutions (maxtransfer...)
