Individually....
Log on to a laptop (not a chromebook).
Download and open a copy of the Continent Project Map Template. If, for some reason, this link is not working, I can email you the file.
Open the template and save it on your F:Drive.
If you don't have tools on the left, click tools (at top), options, tool bars, and restore defaults. Then click all of the "okays" and close the program. When you reopen the file you should have toolbars.
Enable osnap and choose end so that you can connect multiple lines.
Choose a tool or tools to draw your continent. Some options are
The sketch tool -- under the curve tools tab
The polyline -- standard or curve tools tab
Draw your continenent so that it meets these requirements:
Must cross the equator.
Must reach 50 degrees latitude in at least one hemisphere.
Must be wide enough to have at least one of all of the climates that we have discussed (at each of the required latitudes, some part must be least 2 inches wide on model).
To measure parts of your model, select the analyze tab at the top of the page, and then click distance.
Model cannot be too wide for the current simulator (no wider than 5 inches at the widest point).
You may possibly earn extra credit for especially interesting or challenging designs -- but you may also end up losing points, because challenging designs can be challenging.
Save your completed model on your F:Drive. Name it "[your name]". This will be a Rhino file with a .3dm suffix.
Create a jpeg image of your continent.
To do this, click print and in the print dialog, also...
Under the destination tab select image file
Under the view and output scale tab, select extents and set scale to 1:1.
Save the .jpeg on your F:Drive. Name it "[your name] continent"
Open your new .jpeg file and print a copy. The default printer should be in C113. If not, select that printer. If that printer isn't available, check with Mr. Stapleton to find a suitable printer.
Show your printed map to Mr. Stapleton for approval before sharing your files.
Upload both your Rhino file model and your jpeg image to your Google Drive, and set their shared settings to "public."
