Unit Descriptor
Unit descriptor |
This unit specifies the outcomes required to use computer aided drafting (CAD) applications to produce models and documentation for interior decoration and design projects to meet client and project brief requirements. |
Application of the Unit
Application of the unit |
This unit supports the attainment of skills and knowledge required for competent workplace performance in interior decoration and design operations of all sizes. It applies to the development of 2-D and 3-D drawings that incorporate all standard practice notations and drawing protocols. This unit requires employability skills in initiative and enterprise, planning and organising and problem solving in order to determine drawing specifications to meet design brief requirements. Communication skills are used to interpret and document design information and complete drawings. Self management and learning skills are applied to gain additional information to support drawing design skills. |

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
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Determine project requirements |
1.1. Applicable OHS , legislative and organisational requirements relevant to designing with CAD applications are verified and complied with 1.2. Project brief is reviewed and confirmed 1.3. Parameters for the project are assessed and confirmed 1.4. Design concepts and details of design solution are examined to determine drawing requirements 1.5. Sketches, drawings and materials board are analysed 1.6. Calculations and measurements are confirmed 1.7. Documentation requirements for the design are clarified and confirmed 1.8. Computing equipment and suitable software is selected and prepared for use 1.9. Customised template created for individual workplace |
2. Use CAD applications to produce 3D model and documentation |
2.1. Layering strategy for project is designed, created and applied 2.2. Architectural library is developed to acquire relevant design components 2.3. Custom designed library parts are created 2.4. Text, line, font and dimension styles are applied 2.5. Pan , zoom and orbit tools are used to navigate in the 2-D and 3-D windows within the model 2.6. Text and notations are added to the drawing in accordance with drawing protocols 2.7. Dimensions are added to the drawing in accordance with drawing protocols 2.8. 3-D detailed suite of rooms, complete with fenestration and doors is produced on appropriate layers 2.9. Advanced features of drawing tools are used to generate 3-D form |
3. Edit drawing components |
3.1. Editing tools are used to modify drawing elements and text 3.2. Object properties are modified changed or transferred to a different layer |
4. Render surfaces |
4.1. Library is used to assign materials to surfaces and objects of the model 4.2. New material creations are explored 4.3. Texture, transparency, luminescence and patterns are edited to achieve desired surface effects using shader settings 4.4. Light fixtures are included in model and parameters adjusted to achieve desired effects |
5. Create 3-D views of the model |
5.1. Isometric, two and three point perspective views are created using a range of camera settings and rendering techniques 5.2. Camera or target is repositioned to provide alternate views using a variety of camera techniques 5.3. Effect of natural and artificial lighting are created in 3-D space to achieve photo realistic awareness of the 3-D model and the effect of light on surfaces 5.4. Rending time considerations are examined to achieve specific output |
6. Plot and print for final presentations |
6.1. Perspective views are saved and are appropriate for final media presentation 6.2. Appropriate views are saved to meet requirements of brief 6.3. Page layout is created for plotting and printing 6.4. Page layout is prepared using saved views and documentation 6.5. 2-D documentation is plotted with appropriate line weights 6.6. Slide show presentation is prepared using saved views and documentation |
7. Save and back up files |
7.1. Folders and files are created to store drawing projects 7.2. Drawings are saved and filed to allow easy access according to workplace documentation system 7.3. Appropriate techniques for reducing file size are identified and compared 7.4. Copies of files are backed up |
