Aquarium Pics Drawing

[Fidelia Boldul]

Imade a start for you making each panel of the aquarium a component. If you are going to build the aquarium, this will give you the ability to get the dimensions for the individual parts.

Make sure you are drawing your parts where you want them.

Here you can see I start the rectangle flush with the surface on one side but then have a choice of where to finish it.

Look carefully at the inference tips.

Just a question here, how are you getting the drawing to zoom in and change proper angles in your video demonstration in order to draw the pieces correctly. When I try to draw mine the tank does not move so it is hard to connect to the proper edge on the other side.

This is a one time thing really, but read it and figured out how to pan and orbit with the mouse while drawing but now having issues with how my braces are connecting. I figured this would be more straight forward then what it has been.

If you can single click on a face and it gets selected it is not a component.

In the gif you see me single click all the way around the top, then tripple click to select all of the raw geometry.

An aquarium said in February that Charlotte, a round stingray, was pregnant, drawing international headlines. But the facility near Asheville, N.C., now says the ray is sick, not pregnant.

It was called a miracle pregnancy, a rare case of parthenogenesis. But Charlotte, a round stingray who caused a big stir when her aquarium in Hendersonville, N.C., announced she had become pregnant without the participation of a male ray, is not pregnant after all.

"Charlotte has developed a rare reproductive disease that has negatively impacted her reproductive system," says the Aquarium & Shark Lab by Team ECCO, citing recent lab reports. "The findings are truly a sad and unexpected medical development."

"The most unusual thing for me is that I recall seeing footage of an ultrasound [which Charlotte had in February], and on that ultrasound you could see an embryonic ray," he said. It makes him wonder, he added, "if the female aborted the developing embryo(s) and either consumed them or a tank mate consumed them."

The ray's pregnancy had been held up as a unique example of asexual reproduction in her species. But then the months passed, and Charlotte reached the expected gestation period for a stingray (from 3 to 4 months).

"In weekly video posts," Blue Ridge Public Radio reports, Ramer and the aquarium's staff "provided updates and encouraged the public to be patient, noting there was no data on the gestational timeline."

"We thought that she was developing some kind of a cancer when we saw the lump," Ramer said, referring to Charlotte's protruding back. But then, Ramer said, she sent images of the lumps to Robert Jones, a shark and ray expert in Australia, and Beckah Campbell, a doctoral candidate in the shark research lab at Arizona State University.

When she said Charlotte was pregnant, Ramer called it an apparent case of parthenogenesis, a method of asexual reproduction seen in other species of rays and documented in sharks, which are related to rays, Virginia Tech's Booth noted.

"I have been amazed at how much attention parthenogenesis attracts any time it is reported," he said, adding that people seem drawn to stories about an enigmatic vertebrate species reproducing asexually (it's much more common in invertebrates).

"The sad thing is that the babies produced through parthenogenesis rarely survive for long," Booth said. "Given that the parthenogens lack genetic diversity, and are effectively highly inbreed, they are sadly doomed."

But Ramer also raised another possible explanation, one discounted by experts. Ramer said Charlotte might be bearing some kind of shark-ray hybrid. Because while her tank didn't have any male rays, it did have male sharks.

"Either way we have very unique juju going on here," she said, adding that after the pups were born, "we will send all the DNA off and have it all tested, just to see in case we have a whole new species created right here on Main Street."

"It's very unlikely [the ray and a shark] could have hybridized," Booth said. "Even though they're both Elasmobranchs, I think they're so genetically distant that that is not considered possible."

"While the research of this disease is limited, we hope that Charlotte's case and medical treatment will positively contribute to science and be of benefit to other rays in the future," the aquarium added.

Responding to people asking what disease the ray has contracted, the aquarium said it's trying to learn more, replying, "it is simply found under that text reproductive disease."

The aquarium didn't open on Saturday, citing a need to focus on Charlotte's health.

If you need world-class aquarium architectural design, aquarium installation and repair, aquarium life support systems, or aquarium maintenance, call 831.401.9551 to talk to The Tenji team.

Turning a dream into an architectural drawing is no easy task. Our designers and CAD drafters are the best in the business, and we developed our proprietary Rapid Design Process (RDP) to get everyone on the same page.

Turning a napkin sketch into a showstopping marine display requires smart, strategic thinking and real skill. No matter what aquarium you have or hope to have, Tenji Studios can create it, install it, retrofit it, and/or repair it.

Children can observe the power of their creative imagination through Sketch Aquarium. Each participant is invited to color a drawing of a sea creature of his or her preference. Once completed, the paper is scanned and the image is projected onto a giant virtual aquarium. Children will be able to see their creation come to life and swim with all of the other sea creatures. Children may also touch the fish to see them swim away, or touch the virtual food bag to feed the fish.
