This powerful new improvement allows images, text and other pieces of content to be in-line with each other. To test this feature, open up any presentation. Add a piece of content, such as an image. Move the image around to see the power of auto snapping. Line up your content on the vertical line and add another piece of content. Move it around and watch as it snaps not only to parts of the canvas, but to your previously placed image.
The Urban Institute of Data states that, "The number of Americans ages 65 and older will more than double over the next 40 years, reaching 80 million in 2040." As citizens of a multigenerational world, the way we design, develop compassion and empathy, and understand policy is unique to this era. The future of this aging population means that we will need to find commonality not through "othering" the elderly, but through world building that is inclusive, thoughtful and understanding. Designing and building synchronicity and synergy will allow for creative design solutions for the modern world.
In this studio, we will examine our aging population and think through how to evoke community, joy, empathy and democracy. We will analyze existing models of intergenerational, play and empathy design to develop architectural and engineered solutions for our intergenerational world.
Analysis Apertures is our initial research and data gathering studio to analyze existing case studies, precedents and design interventions that address our intergenerational society. We will use data visualization to show our findings.
Framing Question:
How will your generation prepare for the future where there are more elderly than caretakers?
Focus Skills/Subjects/Technologies:
Design
Analysis

Ben is an empathetic, energetic, Bay Area native interested in the intersection of biology, design, materials, and technology to engineer systematic solutions. Ben is the connective tissue for people and knowledge. He values collaboration above all else. Ben is extremely curious about emergence -- how local interactions change over time to create complex, macro-level systems with unique behaviors the individual parts do not possess. He seeks to identify pattern languages within multidimensional data to discover unconventional ways to process information. Ben loves collecting rocks, is fascinated by crystallography, and wants to tap into theories on graphs, color, and motion to create tangible networks of understanding. His passion for providing design thinking for low-income youth continues to grow.
Tabs are the easiest and strongest method to assemble laser cut components. Tabs are traditionally used at NuVu to join two laser cut pieces perpendicularly, although it is possible to use tabs to join things at funky angles, it's significantly harder.
Creating tabs in Rhino and fusion takes some getting used to. The first thing to think about is material thickness. To make this cube we are going to approach it one joint at a time. The final dimensions of the box we want are 52mm X 52mm X 90mm. Below is a picture of what we will make to start the box
Notice how the side piece is only 46mm even though we want the height to be 52mm. This is because there will be a piece of 3mm thick wood above and below the side so it will add up to the desired dimension.
Next, we are going to go into rhino and start drawing our boxes.
The next step is to explode the rectangle and divide the line that will receive the tabs into equal segments. In this case, I will divide it into 5 segments. the number of tabs you use will depend on how long your joint is, but 5 is almost always a good number to use.
Now we're going to start making the tabs. The next thing we have to is to think about which rectangle we will add material to and which we will cut into. In this case, the smaller box will receive the extra material and the bigger one will be cut.
Use the three-point rectangle tool to create the tabs. Then delete the points from the divide toll and trim.
Now to make the tabs on the other side all you have to do is move a copy of the first one into the second rectangle and trim.
You will then repeat this process for all the other sides.
Finally, you can move them together and make 2D for laser cutting.

Auto cropping changes the way you crop images. To test this feature, open up any presentation. Add a new image and replace it. After this, your content may be auto cropped. Our editor will crop your image so that center most content is cropped. To return your image to its original size, simply resize your image.

Creating your First Presentation
In this video, we will be talking about creating your very first presentation. We will go over basic navigation to a new presentation, creating new content and finally going over the tools available. After this post, consider checking out other tutorials, such as the Types of Content tab or check out the master list of Slide Editor Tools to get a more advanced look into the Slide Editor.
