Course Description

Introduces computer aided design software as a drafting tool for residential design. Covers creation and modification of drawings such as floor plans, elevations, furniture and lighting plans, and three-dimensional projections. Focuses on interior plans and elevations of cabinetry for kitchen/bath design, writing/calculating specifications, and how to use drawings to communicate design concepts to clients. Audit available.

Intended Outcomes for the course

Create, annotate, edit and plot drawings using basic AutoCAD commands and features.
Apply basic AutoCAD skills to intermediate AutoCAD course and other design and drafting courses.

Outcomes:

1. Create, annotate, edit and plot drawings using basic AutoCAD commands and features.
2. Apply basic AutoCAD skills to intermediate AutoCAD course and other design and drafting courses.

Activities:

Students spend time learning to compute and transcribe measurements to build an architectural model. The subsequent dimensioning of the model requires working with integers and computing sums of measurements and increments.
