2. Using http://www.smartdraw.com/downloads/ or similar program, make a computer diagram of your building project.
3. Video record a building “meeting” with the architectural team discussing the building process of your 3D model.
4. Using the information you researched, create a 3D model of the structure your architectural team chose to build.
