Regardless of the mode of delivery, represent a guide to the relative teaching time and student effort required to successfully achieve a particular competency/module. This may include not only scheduled classes or workplace visits but also the amount of effort required to undertake, evaluate and complete all assessment requirements, including any non-classroom activities.
Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
A pre-requisite for this course is "Produce computer-aided drawings, RMIT course code GRAP5300C. This unit is delivered in conjuction with "Studio Practice 2".
Course Description
This unit specifies the outcomes required to use computer aided drafting (CAD) applications to produce models and documentation for interior decoration and design projects to meet client and project brief requirements

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.
Details of Learning Activities
The learning activites will include:
- Class computers are available for preparation of working drawings
- Internet use for dowloading of images and blocks used in drawings
- In class "AutoCAD command" self tutorial exercises
- Howework self paced
- In class group and individual drawing
- Work on single project
As assessment will involve student group interaction, it is in your interest to attend all classes.
Teaching Schedule
For teaching schedule refer to the course folder located in the blackboard in a folder entitled "weekly notes"

Other Resources
- Home computer - It is advisable that you have a computer at home on which to do homework
(preferably a PC rather than Mac) - Software - AutoCAD 2011 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 CD rom tutorial - If you find you are struggling with AutoCAD, a recommended self
paced CD rom is available for purchase from www.netlearn.com.au . The software is called
"Introduction to AutoCAD 2011" and is available at a student discount rate - 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 - 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, WMV 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
During week 1 to 15, you will be required to:
- Ensure you have AutoCAD loaded at home for "self directed learning"
- You will be required to "check measure" a building on site - you will be supplied with a drawing
- Produce a set of "working drawings" as briefed in "studio practice 2"
- Produce a 3D building, with walls, windows, doors, floor, ceiling, furniture, materials and lights
- Save numerous views within the building
- Render these view
- Produce a board with rendered view(s)
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.
Assessment Matrix
For assessment matrix, refer to the "assessment" folder located in the relevant course folder in blackboard.
Other Information
All tasks are required to be submitted by the due date as briefed by your teacher. In the event that you suspect
that you cannot meet a submission date or time, fill out and sign an "extension of time for submission of
assessable work" form to yourteacher by no later than 24 hours prior to the due date & time (as briefed).
The "extension of time" claim will then be assessed based on "eligibility criteria" as listed on the rear
of the form." This includes serious illness, bereavement or hardship.
