New unit
Unit Descriptor
This unit of competency specifies the outcomes required to produce three-dimensional (3-D) models for building design projects covered by the Building Code of Australia (BCA), except construction Type A buildings.
It also covers demonstrating and discussing the representations with clients and stakeholders.
Application of the Unit
This unit of competency supports building designers who prepare and present 3-D models to clients and stakeholders to illustrate concepts of small-scale building design projects.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
Work in this area must be completed according to relevant legislative, industry and organisational requirements, including occupational health and safety (OHS) policies and procedures.
Different states and territories may have regulatory mechanisms that apply to this unit. Users are advised to check for regulatory limitations.

Elements and Performance Criteria Pre-Content
Elements describe the essential outcomes of a unit of competency. |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the required skills and knowledge section and the range statement. Assessment of performance is to be consistent with the evidence guide. |
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 |
Set up and manage digital files |
1.1 |
Files for digital 3-D models of small-scale building design projects are created, named, saved and retrieved according to project and workplace requirements. |
1.2 |
Digital two-dimensional (2-D) drawing files are imported as required using appropriate file transfer protocols. |
||
1.3 |
Files are exported and transferred for client and consultant use in required formats using appropriate file transfer protocols. |
2 |
Create digital 3-D models of building designs |
2.1 |
Sources of customised architectural objects for digital 3-D models are identified and accessed. |
2.2 |
3-D modelling functions of design software are operated to create 3-D model and additional objects according to project and workplace requirements. |
||
2.3 |
Architectural objects are applied to 3-D models according to project and workplace requirements. |
3 |
Produce 3-D model presentation |
3.1 |
3-D models are manipulated to create a range of views according to project and workplace requirements. |
3.2 |
Dimensions and notations are applied to views as required. |
||
3.3 |
3-D models are checked for accuracy, completeness and quality according to workplace procedures. |
||
3.4 |
Presentation styles and display controls are selected and applied according to project and workplace requirements. |
