/* Week 3 */
Fri Sept 12th
• Last day to submit drawings 1 -4 unless other arrangements were made

The method shown is what is important. The numbers are going to
differ based on the object and its scale. Do not just blindly follow the instructions.
• Views have 40mm of space between them when they are printed. Scale this number
accordingly in your drawing, i.e., 1:2 scales to 80mm, 1:5 scales to 200 mm.
