The pattern created for last project was created around the idea of modularity. For this project, the unit (created in Project 3) was brought into FormZ and manipulated. Since the unit was comprised of the unification and intersection of different letters in two dimensional space, this project is based around the unification and intersection of the unit in three dimensional space.
First, I began by duplicating the unit and extruding different letters or objects within the unit sets to highlight different geometric characteristics I had studied in the previous exercises. After creating a grid composed of 6 three dimensional units, I rotated another unit (so the base was now on the X-Z plane) and extruded the unit through the solids I had created. Below are the "ghosted" process images describing this process:

Finally, I intersected the two extruded objects. The four images below are the final FormZ renderings:

In the rendered axonometric drawing above, you can see the materiality changes from grey to purple. The unit extruded from the X-Z axis was turned purple and the units extruded from the X-Y plane were grey. When the two solids were intersected, the planes that had been cut by the purple object turned purple. Because of this feature, you can see just how the geometry of the unit interacts with itself in three dimensional space.
