Hello to everyone reading this its me James with an update on how my week has gone. As you’re all aware last week was spring break and unfortunately for me I was violently ill for the majority of it so I didn’t get a chance to work on my project. Needless to say I hope your spring break went a lot better than mine.

So with that being said let’s talk about this week. I really made a concerted effort to make up for the week that I lost. That focus and drive allowed me to knock out quite a large portion of my mapping project and I’ve just about completed the entire first floor of the building I’m on. I know this doesn’t sound that impressive but I’m going through and mapping the footprint of each room in a building the size of a college dormitory. On top of that I need to put in the exits, building entrances, fire hookups, and etc. One issue that I’ve run into is finding a good map of the building to use as an overlay. There is a difference between all maps generally so using the building layout on arcgis in conjunction with an architectural drawing has presented some problems. Nevertheless though I have made a lot of progress and I’m happy with the way my overlay is coming along though I do see where it does require some areas of refinement in the way I’m creating the rooms.

Other than working on my project though I got a chance to have my picture taken. I’m not the most photogenic person so hopefully the pictures turn out well. Also it’s really nice people will get a chance to see the kind of project that I’m working on. Also I’m looking forwards to collaborating with some of the other interns on a project.

Anyways hopefully you have a great weekend.
