In Chapter 5 we modeled simple spaces. Here, we’ll build on the tools and techniques learned there to make an interior model of a two-story home. Our approach will be: (1) Import and model a raster first-floor plan, (2) make a shell to enclose the floors, and (3) import and model an AutoCAD second-floor plan.
