Doing a building project like the SODAS could not been done without some 3D modelling and prewiz. On this page you will see what was needed to get a pretty clear picture of how things would look before the construction and design took place.

The modelling was done in Lightwave 8.5/9.0 in real scale down to the millimeter.
As you can see the 3D model is not 100% similar to the physical product.
This because I was too busy doing the actual work physically instead of doing all in a 3D environment. It was used as a pretty helpful guideline, and there was no need to keep updating the 3D model when I saw what to do and how to fit the physical components in the real world anyway.

The 3D model design phase took about 2 weeks.
