https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh he's a very nice column!!! en-us 2017-11-02 18:48:01 UTC 2025-11-19 01:55:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Brightnessdown.png sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/203076758 this is the base of my column. the bottom square is 8" by 8", and I push-pulled it up by 1/2. then I created another square on top of that one and push-pulled it up by 1/4. next I created another square that was the same as my bottom square. finally, I created two more squares and push-pulled them up by 1/4. ]]> 2017-11-02 18:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/203076758 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/203086627 to make this part of the column, I made a square and push-pulled it up 3'. then, I made two squares and push-pulled it up by 1/4".]]> 2017-11-02 19:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/203086627 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/204094429 to make the ridges in the column, I set guidelines that were 2" down so that I could make all of my ridges even. then I created the ridges by using the square tool and push-pulling it in 1/2". ]]> 2017-11-06 19:54:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/204094429 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/204105188 to make the bottom of the column curved, I used the angle tool and then push-pulled it down the edge of the column. ]]> 2017-11-06 20:15:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/204105188 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/206936000 my column got deleted, so I had to make a new column. Luckily, I already knew how to make it, so it only took a few minutes. Now, I am curving the edges with the angle tool.]]> 2017-11-14 19:44:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/206936000 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207023233 This is the reference I found for the basic outline of my column. I found it helpful because it showed me how to make a basic column, and I could add my own touches to it later. ]]> 2017-11-15 01:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207023233 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207023596 This is another column I found that would be good for a reference picture. I liked the rounded tops, and as you can see, I added that element to my column. There was no specific reason why I liked the rounded edges, I just thought they would make my column look better.]]> 2017-11-15 01:31:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207023596 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207023964 This was my third reference picture, and it is the one I liked the most. My column is mostly modeled around this. I felt like this was a good reference because it combines my two other references. I liked them because they looked simple, but yet they also challenged me a bit. ]]> 2017-11-15 01:33:21 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207023964 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207467102 These are the (very rough) plans for the creation of my column. My column will have a rectangular base that is 4" by 12" long. The column will be split by some protruding squares, and the top half will be 4" by 5". My ridges will be placed on all four sides of the column, and they will all be 2" by 5". I will push pull them in by an inch. But, I could also create circular ridges, like shown on one of my reference columns. The bases of my columns will be 8" by 8" squares. ]]> 2017-11-15 22:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207467102 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207876924 The final column!!! I came very close to my original goal. If you look back at my sketches, I followed them very accurately. I chose to go with the rectangular ridges instead of the circular ridges because the rectangles looked better on the face of my column. Also, I was originally going to have only one 8" by 8" square as my base, but I decided to do multiple squares because most of my reference columns have many squares on the base. Finally, I made the ridges in my column transparent to test out if I could do that or not. It turned out that I could, and it looked good on my column, so I kept it. Those were the only three changes I made to my original plan.]]> 2017-11-16 19:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207876924 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207887064 This is my last reference picture. I chose this one because I liked the unique circle ridges.]]> 2017-11-16 20:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207887064 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207889783 I would improve the bottom base of my column. The arrangement of the squares does not look as neat and orderly as I would like it to. Also, I would like to find an easier way to curve the edges of my base. The way I was doing took a long time, and the curve is barely noticeable. ]]> 2017-11-16 20:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207889783 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207890710 The top of my column's edges are curved, but they have this weird line where the two edges meet. When I tried to delete the line, it deleted the whole square. I would like to find out a way to fix this.  ]]> 2017-11-16 20:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207890710 sophtree https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207891096 These two ridges/rectangles on my column are slightly uneven, and I did not notice that until it was too late and I could not undo it. Next time, I would take more accurate measurements to prevent this from happening again. ]]> 2017-11-16 20:22:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sophtree/r7n316p4vhmh/wish/207891096
