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

  1. Autodesk Revit, and Autodesk Inventor
  2. 3D printer
  3. Laser Engraving machine
  4. 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.


  1. I created a new level and changed its name
  2. I added a tree to model the exterior walls and other parts of the house around
  3. I created the walls and added windows and doors where they can fit
  4. 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


  1. I used the Topo surface tool to create a site
  2. I then used the elevations tool to create a hill effect on the surface
  3. 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.


  1. Change angle to fit desired rendering
  2. Use the tools in the rendering command to change lighting and exposures
  3. Set desired settings to render
  4. Render

I completed the Autodesk portion of my project I now needed to 3d print and put the design together.

  1. Find model of tree to print
  2. Use Laser engraving machine to cut out Walls, Floor, Railing, and Ladder
  3. 3d Print Windows, Doors, and Furniture
  4. 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.
