Tree House
When thinking about utilizing a small space and turning it into a living space, my first thought was using a tree to make a house in it.
Supplies
- Autodesk Revit, and Autodesk Inventor
- 3D printer
- Laser Engraving machine
- Hot Glue gun
Modeling the House
I needed add in a floor to an already existing tree so I utilized the level tool to create a new level.
- I created a new level and changed its name
- I added a tree to model the exterior walls and other parts of the house around
- I created the walls and added windows and doors where they can fit
- I created the roof and balcony outside the house

Modeling the Site
Now that the base part of the project was finished, I needed to create a site around the house for Renderings
- I used the Topo surface tool to create a site
- I then used the elevations tool to create a hill effect on the surface
- I added trees around the tree house to create an effect of being in the woods

Rendering
After completing the project, I now needed to complete rendering.
- Change angle to fit desired rendering
- Use the tools in the rendering command to change lighting and exposures
- Set desired settings to render
- Render
Realistic Modeling
I completed the Autodesk portion of my project I now needed to 3d print and put the design together.
- Find model of tree to print
- Use Laser engraving machine to cut out Walls, Floor, Railing, and Ladder
- 3d Print Windows, Doors, and Furniture
- Hot glue it all together
Reflection
This was a fun project, I enjoyed the thinking part where I had to find some inspiration for the usage of an object.
I chose a tree for this project because, it saves some space on the ground for where a normal home would go and still allows for people to have a suitable living space.
