Going Beyond
In this lesson you drew exploded diagrams by hand. However, there are software alternatives. One alternative is Google SketchUp. At the time this lesson was developed, the download for one version of this software was free.
One example of what is possible using Google SketchUp is an exploded view of an “Access Platform.” If you would like a challenge, use Google SketchUp for the three-dimensional tasks you need to complete in the Lesson 2 Assignment and Module 5 Project. To find the software, search for “google sketchup” using your Internet browser.

You have now worked with exploded views and are ready to complete Part 1 of “Complete Your Drawings and Build a Scale Model” of the Module 5 Project from page 247 of the textbook.
At the end of this lesson your entire project should be complete. Self-assess your project using the Module 5 Project Rubric.
Submit your entire Module 5 Project and self-assessment to your teacher.
