The 3D, reviewed

The third gate on a piece: whether the model was built right and whether it is the piece that was drawn, judged by the reviewers and by you.

DuoStudio, Pieces: three more lines on the card's menu once the piece has a model

A piece that has been built, or handed in as a .3dm, gets three more lines in the menu behind its three dots: Review the 3D, 3D passes and Send the 3D back. Together they are the third gate a piece passes through, after the sketch review and the design sheet: does the model stand up, and is it the piece that was drawn.

  • Review the 3D

    Two kinds of judgement, from the people placed on the collection. The reviewers with Craftsmanship switched on take what DuoBench measured on your machine, the volume, the bounding size and whether the solid is closed, together with the rendered picture, and judge whether it was built right. The designer who drew the final sketch takes the picture and the sketch and judges whether this is the piece that was drawn. Each gives one verdict, pass or send back, with its reason, and says so in the collection's room; the tool strip reads Judging the 3D model, then 3D model judged. A review costs what a review costs.

  • 3D passes, Send the 3D back

    Your own verdict, written into the same record as the reviewers'. 3D passes needs no reason and is filed as Passed by the owner. Send the 3D back asks What is wrong with it? and offers six answers, the form first: The form is off for a model whose outline and run do not follow the drawing even when every figure is right, then Wall too thin or uneven, Seat or cup does not fit the stone, Prongs or posts wrong, Proportions differ from the sketch, Surface or edges not clean. Each is a word you pick; nothing compares the shape with the drawing on its own.

  • The tag on the card

    The 3D tag on the piece's card shows the outcome: a tick when it passed, a cross when it was sent back, and the cross is red, as a failed build is. Rest on the tag to read the reason on each dimension. A rebuild clears the tag and the model is reviewed again.

  • A picture with the .3dm

    Hand in a .3dm now asks Add a picture of the model?: Yes, choose a picture from the portfolio, or No, the model alone. The reviewers judge from a picture, and a .3dm file is a model, so a model handed in without one cannot be reviewed; asked to, DuoHand says so and asks for a picture first.

Questions

Reviewing a model

What exactly was measured?

Volume, the bounding size and whether the solid is closed, read from the geometry by DuoBench. Wall thickness, seat depth and prong diameter are judged from the picture, and the reviewer says so in the verdict.

It was sent back. What now?

The model is rebuilt: press Build in 3D again, or hand in a corrected .3dm. The design itself stays where it is; a send-back on the 3D reopens the model, never the sketch or the sheet.

The reviewer says it has no picture.

The model was handed in as a file alone. Hand it in again with a picture attached, or add a render of it to the portfolio, and review it once more.

Can any model in the room review it?

The room's model has to read pictures; a text-only open model cannot take this step, and the room says so before it starts.
