Engineering Drawing Final Exam

 

 

                        You will need to calculate the cost to construct your chair using the following materials.  I have included the cost for each one of these materials. 

 

 

Material                                            Cost                                                         Dimension

Plywood                                            14.99                                                      4ft X 8ft

Steel                                                        9.45                                                          Square foot

Aluminum                                     5.49                                                          6in X 12in

Plastic Polyethylene      70.93                                                      48in X 30in

Vinyl                                                      4.16                                                          21in X 51in

Fiberglass                                       14.60                                                      2ft X 4ft

 

 

Instruction on how to compute cost is as follows:

  1. Use the arrow tool and select area that you need to compute.  Make sure that if you include all areas that you do not use, because it would be classified as waste material.
  2. If you did not draw your box to scale you will have to then adjust your cost appropriately or redraw your drawing and then do the following procedures.
  3. Next select Plugins from the menu bar, then down to Cost, then select Assign estimate to faces.
    1. You will need to enter the value for a square foot of material, use the table above to get your data to figure cost of material.
  4. The final step to figure cost for that area is to go once again to Plugins, then down to Cost, then to Compute Estimate.
  5. This will bring up a pop up menu screen with the answer computed for you.
  6. You will need to total up all cost of all of the materials for your chair using the table above.
  7. You will need to turn into me for your final exam a typed report given me the results of your findings along with your drawing of how to construct your chair.
  8. This is due Jan. 10 @ 2:35.  If you need to come to the computer lab and use the computer to finish up exam that is fine, if you are finished you do not need to show up for the final exam.
  9. Unfortunately or fortunately this class is over, if you need something or I can help you with something please do not hesitate to ask, my door is always open.
