Week 1 Narrative

 * Nothing was really accomplished

Week 2 Narrative

 * Currently observing Rube Goldberg projects


 * Created a CDIO page were I can start documenting what I'm doing


 * Learned not to use the word "I" or "We" on the CDIO page


 * Divided the project into 4 parts A B C and D


 * Working backwards is the most efficient way of dealing with this


 * Finally downloaded Sketch Up


 * Using SketchUp to create/design the project


 * I started to get a grasp on how SketchUp works

This is the /CDIO/ for this project
 * Now implementing the idea of how SketchUp works to further create the project

Week 3 Narrative
Here is the /Idea drawings/ http://www.howardcc.edu/academics/academic_divisions/science_engineering_and_technology/instructional/engineering/newBuilding2-13.pdf
 * Finished designing the project
 * Looked all over the internet on whats possible to create on SketchUp
 * Now gonna implement all these ideas
 * The blueprints for the new building coming in 2016

Problems Encountered

 * Sketch Up is meant to be free but there is something called Sketch Up Pro which costs money


 * The link that sends you to Sketch Up and Sketch Up Pro are very similar


 * They both have similar names but don't provide the same feature


 * Trimble which bought Sketch Up from Google is forcing people to pay for a couple of better features


 * When your on the link to download Sketch Up, Trimble hides the free version of Sketch Up underneath with text that look like it can't be clicked for download http://www.sketchup.com/intl/en/download/ (look)


 * There are so many Rube Goldberg projects out in the world today, New Ideas are hard to come by


 * Trimble didn't even announce that Sketchy Physics go with Sketch Up, its considered an add-on but there are hundreds of add-ons out on the internet for Sketch Up
