SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the dimensions of the Bowie sofa from Wewood, specifically the individual segments or pillows of the sofa. The user seeks to determine the length, width, and height of each segment, noting that the double sofa measures 220 cm in width while the single sofa measures 113 cm, establishing a ratio of approximately 1.95. It is confirmed that some dimensions, such as height and depth, remain constant across both sofa types. The user aims to derive the dimensions of the segments based on these known measurements.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic geometry and ratios
  • Familiarity with 3D modeling concepts
  • Knowledge of the Bowie sofa design by Wewood
  • Ability to convert measurements between inches and centimeters
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific dimensions of the Bowie sofa from Wewood's official specifications
  • Learn techniques for calculating ratios in geometric shapes
  • Explore 3D modeling software options for accurate dimensioning
  • Investigate common practices for measuring furniture dimensions
USEFUL FOR

3D modelers, furniture designers, interior decorators, and anyone involved in furniture design and measurement accuracy.

I'm trying to 3D model a specific sofa but I can't figure out the exact dimensions of each segment. I'm reasonably certain all four segments are the same size. Is there enough information here to work it out? It's the Bowie sofa from Wewood if you're curious. (Also not sure if this is the right board or not sorry if it isn't)

Exactly what are you trying to do? Are you trying to get the dimensions of the parts of the "double" sofa from those of the "single" sofa? If so the the one thing you know is that the width of the "double" sofa is 220 (inches?) while the corresponding measurement for the "single" sofa is 113. That is a ratio of 220/113= 1.95, almost twice. Of course, some measurements, height and back to front distance don't change.
 
Ah, sorry. I'm trying to work out the length, width, and height of each individual pillow, or segment, and the measurements are in centimeters. I included the double sofa because I figured the length of it might provide more information.
