Learning Outcomes
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.

- Home computer - It is advisable that you have a computer at home on which to do your
self directed work (preferably a PC rather than Mac - as there is currently no Mac platform
for this software). You can however use "bootcamp" or "parrallels" to run the PC version - Software - "Revit Architecture 2013" and "AutoCAD 2013" software is available for access
via RMIT for all students enrolled in the program. Authorisation for the software can also
be sought via AutoDesk. Details will be given in class - Authorisation - You can then receive an authorisation for the use of the software for 36
months at a time direct from AutoDesk (details will be supplied in first week) - Self paced online tutorial - If you find you are struggling with Revit, as an RMIT student
you will have access to the Lynda.com website tutorials. This can only be done for free via
the link below:
http://cat.lib.rmit.edu.au/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=903707 - Building 8, level 7 - 24 hour, 7 day a week access is available to the "open labs" in building
8 if you require the use of a computer. Booking may be required (and will ensure you have
a PC for you) - Building 94, level 5, room 13 will be available most nights after 6pm till midnight (refer to to
timetable located on door of room). Note, an "access" form will need to be filled in and
approved prior to use of this room. - During the course, video files will be uploaded into the relevant blackboard folder for
assistance
Overview of Assessment
Effectively design and produce at least two 2-D CAD drawings and two 3-D CAD drawings that document the requirements of the design brief
Apply drafting and drawing protocols in accordance with Australian Standards and the Building Code of Australia
Effectively apply design elements and principles to designing with CAD applications
Comply with legislation, regulations, standards, codes of practice and established safe practices and procedures to design with CAD applications
Communicate effectively and work safely with others in the work area
Assessment Tasks
Use CAD for design projects is a clustered unit. This will allow us to assess your project work
against several competencies.
This course is clustered with "Design for small-ed interiors (Studio prac 2)".
Project task:
- As this course is clustered with Studio Prac 2, the CAD work will be based on the same
single project - At the start of the course you will be directed to a folder in blackboard to download an
ouline of the brief. This will be general information only, such as key dates, where to
submit, etc. - A detailed outline of the brief for this course will be formulated in either week 1 or week 2
in class in a client / consultant meeting. This is in keeping with what would occur in
industry. You as the "consultant" will flesh out the brief with the client (in this case the
teacher), to form a basis for the scope of works for this project. The brief will be heavily
dependant on Studio Prac 2 requirements. - In execusion of this project, you will be required to attend an excursion to site to do a
"measure-up" of the building. You will be supplied with a rough site plan only. - In "Revit Architecture", you will then be required to draw the floor plan of the
building/space as appropriate. This will be in 3D - From the 3D model, you will need to create a set of working drawings as well as rendered
perspectives with lights and materials. The renders may then be used in Studio Prac 2 - You will the be required to print your contract set of 2D drawings to an appropriate scale
with appropriate detail as would be expected in industry. - You will also be required to print in colour your perspectives (at least 2) - of which you may
or may not use in your Studio Prac 2 hand-in / board - All files are the to be upload all digital files to a drive as directed in class
In order ensure good progress and provide timely feedback, there will be a number of
submissions at different stages required throughout the semester of this project.
You will receive feedback with verbal and/or written evaluation of your progress within class time.
The submitted projects will be assessed with written feedback as well as a quality indicator that
relates to separate components of the project and the overall outcome. At the completion of the
course, grading will be offered in addition to, and after, competency based assessment.

Other Information
Attendance:
The major learning experience involves studio based exercises, demonstration and production. It
is strongly advised that students attend all sessions in order to engage in the required learning
activities, ensuring the maximum opportunity to gain the competency.
Special Consideration Policy (Late Submission):
All assessment tasks are required to be completed to a satisfactory level. If you are unable to
complete any piece of assessment by the due date, you will need to apply for an extension.
Please refer to the following URL for extensions and special consideration.
www.rmit.edu.au/students/specialconsiderations/online
Work not seen in progress:
If a student hands in any work that the teacher has never seen in class or discussed with the
student prior to the submission, the teacher can refuse to assess the work on the basis of
authentication issues.
