Video 2

This picture will be shown at the beginning of each video as an introduction to the content. Along with this I will have title of the video, under the picture. I will not waste time with a long intro, as this sends the message to the viewer quickly.

Scene 1

• I Change the shape of the house from the last video, from a rectangle to ‘L’ shape

• I then demonstrate how to add a roof to this type of shape. – ‘Line’ and ‘Move’ tool

Scene 2

• I demonstrate how to offset the edges of the house – ‘Offset’ tool

• I then push the offset sides upwards, to form a roof overhang – ‘Push/Pull’ tool

Scene 3

• I edit the roof overhang on the front side of the house so that it is parallel to the top edge of the roof. – ‘Line’ tool

• I then use the ‘Push/Pull’ tool to take this piece off

Scene 4 & 5

• I demonstrate the use of the ‘Follow Me’ tool, in moving a piece around the house, by dragging your cursor in a certain direction.

Scene 6

• I demonstrate how to draw a more detailed window using the ‘Offset’ tool to create layers.

• I then use the ‘Push/Pull’ tool, to pull the layers outwards.

Scene 7

• I draw a chimney using the same instructions from the last video tutorial.

• This time I use the ‘Offset’ tool again to offset the sides of the chimney. I then use the ‘arc’ tool to arc the edges and then use the ‘Follow Me’ tool, to pull this arc around the chimney.
