I made a circle with sticky tape and then used ruler to measure the length of the sticky tape to determine the radius.

The radius of the circle would then help in constructing the 3D model.

90 mm

Making a right triangle by using sticky tapeww to determine the angle that the sticks rotate from vertical direction.

The length of each stick in this plant suppport is directly measured with tape measure.

Analysis

Firstly, I tried to consider this geometry of the plant support is formed by this single units.

4

And 9 units of that can form the shape.

Another way to consider the geometry

Two circles formed firstly on the top and bottom.

Then those sticks array around the circle.

Process of Digital Modelling

Using the angle I measured, I can determine how much it rotates from the vertical direction.

Firstly, I made two sticks as a single unit.

And then using “Polar array� command to finish the whole geometry 7
