The 3D Igloo Model Attempt

 * The Base Layer Construction


 * From this design, there is a possibility of newly creating a spirally shaped igloo through the software programming
 * It's possible to use Pencil and Erase tools in the GoogleSketchup8 to replicate a real-world igloo with a ramp
 * Problems Regarding Programming:
 * It's tedious:
 * Because we weren't able to insert a equation or formula to cut the unnecessary portion of the blocks into ramp-like shape, we had to manually erase and delete to form a ramp
 * Technical Difficulties:
 * Lack of knowledge on using GoogleSketchup8 backfired us. When we used Pencil tool to sketch out the ramp and used Eraser to cut out the pieces, for some odd reasons, the entire base has been erased internally.
 * Tunnel-like internal structure of an igloo
 * Potential for further project team:
 * Next team could adapt into software programming for the construction of this 3D igloo to successfully replicate the model
 * It's still possible to create a ramp but it wasn't possible for us; for we were constantly dealt with the same problem of deleting the entire internal structure.
