Application
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to set up digital project files in building information modelling (BIM) capable industry standard building design drawing software for residential, commercial and industrial building design projects as defined in the National Construction Code (NCC). It covers installing BIM-capable design software and applying its functions and options to create, name and save project files and templates for different types of building design projects.
The unit supports the work of drafters who assist and work under the supervision and instruction of architects, building designers and other personnel, such as home sustainability assessors.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
