M3G402884 Computer Aided Design for Interior Designers
Summary of Content
This module is both integrated and complimentary to MHK121275 and MHK121277 - Interior Design Project 5 and 6 - from inception through detail design to final presentation. Further, the module is designed to develop the student's CAD skills from module M3G402884 in draughting, modelling, rendering, animation, www awareness and presentation techniques. . The module will include: Manipulation of User Co-ordinate System (UCS). Model/paper space. 3D CAD, faces, meshes surfaces and primitive solids. Use of Boolean operations. Space Planning. Importing/Exporting between applications. Use of materials, asset browser, i-drop technology Lighting simulation Walkthroughs. Online/Offline Digital Presentation.
Syllabus
Using all aspects of 3D CAD, 3D Faces, meshes, solids. Model/Paper space. Boolean operation; union, subtraction and intersection. Interior Space Planning. Use of Design Content within a BIM software application to create doors, walls, stairs, windows. Use of BIM compliant Archtectural software to create documentation, grids, sections, elevations, perspective cameras Importing geometry to rendering applications. Rendering, materials, lighting. Creating walkthroughs Image manipulations Use of digital presentations in an online and offline capacity
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the student should be able to:Generate complex 3D models using a BIM software application.Create 2D detail drawings using model/paper space. Import and export geometryProduce computer generated rendered imagesCreate meaningful walkthroughs. Produce Online and Offline digital presentations of your design project
Teaching / Learning Strategy
Learning and teaching strategies will be developed and implemented, appropriate to students' needs, to enable all students to participate fully in the module. A limited series of lectures will provide the basic theoretical concepts, which will be complemented by tutorials, seminars and student presentations. The major learning strategy will be based on working within the CAD lab solving a variety of CAD related problems, some prescribed by the tutorial team and others defined by individual students or groups.
