Your screen should now look like this.
This next bit is tricky - deliberately so, I want to show you how to do a few things that are dead useful - first off is using the offset tool, this lets you recreate a line or shape but in a slightly different position. Second is the construction line tool - this one lets you draw lines that you can use to position other parts of your sketch but won't be used by any extrusions or revolutions - believe me this is useful!

Meech Lake Ruins - Carbide Ruins.
The ruins at Meech Lake are no secret to those who know Gatineau Park, but the story of the gentleman who built them, Thomas 'Carbide' Willson is not well known.
Throughn out his lifetime (1860- 1915) Willson was a tireless and ingenious inventor, engineer, entrepreneur, and electrochemist, facinated with emerging technologies of his day.
While experimenting with aluminun, he discoveredx how to produce Calcium Carbide, a product which was to make his fortune and extend his influence to international proportions. He sold the American patenat to what was to become The Union Carbide Company in the United States. By 1895 the American British, Canadian and Australian markets were controlled by syndicate, and Willson had paents in fourty other countries. Fearful of losing the rights to the Canadian market, he rushed back to Canada in 1896 to build his own carbide generating plant at Merrilton Ontario which turned profit for him even in its forst year of operation.
By 1909 he had purchaced 460 acres of land including all of Little Meech Lake and the start of Meech Creek just at the water fall where Patrick Farrel had built his dam. Thomas was delighted to further his studies on Nitrogen. Encouraged bu others who said his fertillizer was so revolutionary that i would put all the other manufacturers out of business, Willson desided to build a plant at Meech Lake.
In 1911 Willson built a dam using 1004 bags of cement, about 4 to 5 railcars worth. In the next two years he put up the power house picured here in the DB. This was a hundred thousand dollar experimental station. He was proud of the acid tower he built and believed it to be the perfect acid condensation plant, the first Phosphoris Acid Condensation Plant in the world.
No sooner did the experiments begin then the local residents at the Lake were up in arms. One day there boat houses would be six feet under water the next day six feet from the water.
Willson was convinced that the plant would be an overwhelming financial and industrial succes. He sold his other companies and took out loans against his other patents with a single investor, American tobacco king JB Duke. His financial dreams then turned to nightmares. Duke absorbed all the assetts when Willson's time limit for production ran out.
Athough the Meech Lake plant fell into disrepair, Willson himself was not totally ruined. His interests in Newfoundland were not included in the Duke deal; he turned his attention to developing that provinces Hydro Electric capacity. In two years he formed another 20 million dollar corporation-but alas, in 1915, while seeking additional venture capitol, he collapsed on a New York street, dying of a heart attack.
The acid condensation tower, dam and generating plant were never maintained. The tower fell victim to a fire, now only its base stands. The dam and generating plant- windows sadly gaping- still stand toi haunt the cascading water fall with memories of industry.
Engineer and inventor Nick Potter holds his prototype solar panel. The technology may be under wraps and he can't talk about the details but he hopes that this invention will bring affordable solar panels to all.

This time we are going to draw a circle. this is the same process as drawing a rectangle (one click to start, another to stop) but we use the circle tool instead. See if you can find it, then make your screen look like mine.
Now use the Direction 2 button to select the other direction for our array. You will probably have to flip the direction like I had to. See the image for more notes.

Press Escape on your keyboard to ensure you have no tool selected. Now click on the original middle line, it should go red. Now with the line still selected click the 'Construction' button on the top menu, this will turn the line from a solid line into a dashed line.
Check your screen look exactly like mine.

Use the General Dimension tool to move the circle to the middle of the rectangle. To do this we need to click three times - once on the long edge of the rectangle (it will turn red when your mouse is over it), then once on the centre of the circle (again it will show up in red when you mouse over) then once more away from the end of the cuboid to place the dimension.
42 steps, what a coincidence! We're finished with the step by step tutorial, if you've done everything correctly then your domino should look like this one. If not then go back to see where you might have made a mistake, feel free to leave a comment if you want help - an accompanying screenshot would help too.
If you found that easy then go ahead an try modelling something else, or make some changes to this domino to make it look like the one in my next slide.
Wedge Plantation, located on the South Santee River, on the Charleston and Georgetown County line, is named for the property lines forming a wedge shape. Historically a rice plantation, the house was built in 1826 for William Lucas and his wife, Charlotte. William Lucas was the son of the famous Jonathan Lucas, the inventor of the rice-pounding mill, first utilized at Peachtree Plantation nearby.
The house was constructed in the Federal style over a raised basement and utilizes a standard Lowcountry plantation floor plan. Four rooms downstairs are separated by a central hallway with the plan repeated upstairs. Over time, room configurations were changed slightly and an addition was added on either side to the land side of the home.
The plantation stopped being a working farm around 1914 and served as a private residence to various owners until the 1960s when it was purchased by the University of South Carolina as a research facility. Today, it is still owned by the state though no classes take place there. The land has been leased to hunting clubs in the past but to my knowledge, is not currently. The area is private property and only accessible at certain times with permission or by the Prince George Winyah Plantation Tours.

The MFA in Applied Craft and Design welcomes Steve Badanes as part of the 2014-2015 Graduate Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
Steve Badanes is a co-founder of Jersey Devil, a group of architects, artists, and inventors, committed to the interdependence of design and construction. Jersey Devil builds all their own work, which shows concern for craft and detail, innovative use of materials, and a strong environmental consciousness.
The work has been the subject of two monographs: the Jersey Devil Design/Build Book and Devil’s Workshop–25 Years of Jersey Devil Architecture. Badanes has lectured on design/build at over 100 universities & a dozen countries. At University of Washington, Badanes holds the Howard S. Wright Endowed Chair and directs the Neighborhood Design/Build Studio, which builds small public projects for Seattle area non-profits. He has led design/build studios throughout the US and in Canada, Cuba, Finland, Ghana, India, and Mexico.
Badanes has been awarded the Solar Pioneer Award from the American Solar Energy Society, Education Awards from the AIA, and a Weird Home Award from the National Enquirer.
