6. Video 4 - Assignment
Use the office layout and create an animated model of an office (you can also find your own layout of an office, medical clinic, bank, etc. if you prefer).
Your model entities should be people and the model should include several server objects with appropriate symbols that you either create or download from Trimble 3D Warehouse.
You will need to make up the model structure and parameters – the objective is the animation and the animation should “look good”!
