What Computer Aided Design Drawing Techniques covers

Floor plans, elevations, sections and building details are all drafted on screen in Computer Aided Design Drawing Techniques, part of Architecture Level 6. The first outcome starts with identifying the right drafting software, adjusting floor plan settings and detailing the floor plan layout. Elevation drawing follows: you adjust elevation settings, establish the sight of elevation, then render and detail the elevation using the proposed material schedule. Section drawing repeats that path with section settings, the line of section, rendering and detailing. The last outcome produces computer-aided building details by identifying the building detail part, drafting it to project requirements and annotating the detail drawing.
