33You will need to learn to copy and arrange components on adjacent faceted surfaces. This can be tricky, and it takes time to master. 33Remember not to overlap components with dashed (hidden) edges.
Drafting the Floor Plate Begin modeling the Jefferson County Courthouse by first drafting the floor plate, as described in these steps: 1. Study the floor-plate base diagram and familiarize yourself with it. Draft a rectangle
face. Draw an edge from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner of the rectangle face. Add a circle (radius 50’) to the midpoint of the diagonal edge. 2. Create the arc at the left side of the floor plate. Delete the diagonal edge outside of the circle.
3. Offset the initial arc outward 100´. 4. Draw an edge along the green axes. Connect both endpoints to the offset arc from step 3.
Draft a second arc (right side of plate) and offset it 100´.
