    i would say so but make sure with your teacher... the date that you burned the cd may be detectable by the examiner. then again unless you get an absolute dick of an examiner i doubt itll matter.

    What did you pick for yours?

    ta mighty mouse

    ha! I've slipped a copy of my nude modelling portfolio. I'll either get sued or a sue-per result.

    Re-did a good bit of it again "thanks" to the advice of a few ppl here but am happy with how it turned out.

    Just too bad I failed the mock paper, was just so terrible - if the papers a few years back were truly harder then I just wouldn't even bother.

    Yeah the buttons are looking great now. I think you're rendering it in Photoworks though, yes? I'd recommend using Photoview 360 in future. It usually produces a far more realistic picture.

    What sort of questions came up? I have mine in a week.

    Well on Section A there was a tri-metric axonometric - if that's what you call it, a Planes question asking you to locate the plane from the given plan and elevation, a conic sections question regarding locating the directrix and focal point using a focal sphere.

    Section B - The core had a perspective question, an inter-penetration of solids and the weird triangle things - don't have a clue what they are called but they look like

    A 44 -38 - 59 - 32 -44
    B 30 - 49 -28 - 36 -57

    asked you to get some skew line at the end as well - whatever that is.

    (Of course I just made the numbers up)

    Section C - Applied Graphics had a cycloid with a pin joint - some toy were dog wags tail, and a conical spiral from dynamic mechanisms, dihedral angle thing from surface geometry some weird assembly and can't remember the rest cause it was just one bad dream.

    Should be an easy exam if you know the stuff, hope that helps.

    Yes they can.
    Any change or addition you make is accompanied by the time, date, username of logged in user and name of the computer.

    However I really doubt they actually look at any of this information though unless the examiners have been given a program which would go through it for them and flag suspect material.

    I don't think it's really against the rules. They say you should do it in school so that the teacher can more confidently say that you yourself did the entire project but considering the amount of time it takes to just build the CAD model it would be ridiculous to think that you could do it within the restraints of class time.

    Our teacher stayed back in school with us for around an hour and a half every week since around November, and some of our class were still nearly caught for time. None of us did the Solidworks at home either

    i was so relieved when i got mine in, finished burning the disk and bound the portfolio just 20 minutes before my final mock (which was dcg actually and i failed horribly) otherwise i would of had to come in today to give it to my teacher. Put up my part A a few pages back but i got some more pictures and i'm quite proud: 4360098975_d2c0a74a85_o.jpg
    and 4360839422_7ec1bbf3e7_o.jpg
    and 4360098697_7e86112243_o.jpg
    and here's my part b mod: 4360839234_cabe1b3c11_o.jpg
    it's translucent and has led's inside it so it lights up different colours, few other mods as well.......

    PS3: http://s866.photobucket.com/albums/ab228/mchughboi/?action=view&current=much.jpg
    The picture is low quality rendering and the lighting is messed up but i left my other files in school

    Gun Concept Tingy:http://s866.photobucket.com/albums/ab228/mchughboi/?action=view&current=untitled.jpg

    Good few flaws (like the buttons probably awkward to hold) but she will have to do!

    It's not the "low quality rendering" it's just the low quality workmanship, you should be ashamed of yourself.


    How many peeps ended up finishing it? Just us 3? or were there some last minute ones?
