Practice question · Put in order
Arrange the stages of modelling from a referent in the order they are performed.
- Refine transitions and smaller relations
- Block in the large masses
- Resolve how the masses connect and where the weight sits
- Finish the surface
- Establish the gesture and main axis
Hints
- Start with the largest decision.
- Surface is last, not first.
Show the answer
- Establish the gesture and main axis
- Block in the large masses
- Resolve how the masses connect and where the weight sits
- Refine transitions and smaller relations
- Finish the surface
Why
The sequence is a dependency chain rather than a convention: each stage settles something the next one needs, and inverting it means building work that later stages destroy.
