3. In Photoshop: COMBINE the Structural Constellation with the
1/2" Isometric Grid with measure line. You will use the measure
line and the grid to find the size of the model.

RESOLVING THE IMPOSSIBLE ISOMETRIC4. TRANSFORM THE IMPOSSIBLE
ISOMETRIC DRAWING INTO A PHYSICAL MODEL - 3 ITERATIONS
Start with paper with a grid on it. Size your model precisely
according to your 1/2" isometric grid. The model will be 4-7 inches
in height. Attempt to recreate the drawing. Iterate two more
times.
HOW:Test ideas through the iterations, try solving one part of
the Impossible Isometric at a time. Test the accuracy of the model
by viewing it in the isometric position. Make an isometric viewer
for more accurate testing. (see next page)
HINT: You are looking at this in the isometric, but when you
build the model, it will be primarily orthographic.
HINT: Precision and craft is essential here. The models, in
their final states, should be well crafted (clean edges, sharp
folds, white glue, minimal and tidy clear tape) and stiff (does not
flop about). Each successive model should demonstrate an
improvement in measurement and craft.
Mount each model on the "isometric viewer" and photograph at eye
level. Upload to your Classtime Sharlder.
