My chosen object was a paper fan, because of the material - paper, it`s really fragile, therefore, photocopying seems is not the best way to draw it. I took a picture of it and arrange the printed picture exactly followed the scale 1:2, and then I can easily trace the picture and get my elevation drawing.
These are three sections` picture I took when the paperfan was in different conditions, different angles of rotating and folding will provide diverse sections.

Panel & fold (In terms of paper fan) : - Flexible - Repetitive patterns make volume by folding and sticking - Complex outlook simple mechanism
Analysis The shaded area stands for the area that been sticked together. Before the two pieces of segments sticked together, the paper was still two-dimensional, after been sticked together, with stretching and dragging, the ses two will be able to make volume.

It`s obvious that the bigger angle the paper fan been turned to, the shorted the height is, and the more narrow the shape is. The paper fan contains 36 same segments, in order to complete the whole fan, the outside should be sticked together for connecting with the next part. 90

Thin stick in order to stablize all layers and let it be flexible

The shape of elevation changes with the angle changes. And the bigger angle we turns into, the more layers we are able to see in birdview paln.

Works as pivot as well, a point to obtain all rotations and in terms of three dimentions, this works as invisible roller
