Designed to provide minimum accommodation for workers(there is no bathroom) and using a standardised format basedon the cube, these houses were never built.

You will model a simplified version using only one plan forground and first floor to draw in 2d and then extrude to 3d.

MicroStation has pre-defined files called SEEDSfor 2d and 3d both in metric and imperial measure-ments. You will select and save 3d Metric under yourname and in your area.
