Course abstract
The course introduces with prerequisites required for drafting the outline model of construction work basing on initial data about function planned, actions predicted, architectural conception, construction materials and technologies available. The study process enable the mastering the skills for creating and editing of three dimensional models using graphic programms.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
• Knowledge and understanding on technical data processing with purpose to compile the outlined model of building.
• Skills: good for design of 3D modelling.
• Competence for choice of optional building models regarding function, actions, materials, technologies.
