Course Description

This course covers the construction, viewing, and plotting of three-dimensional drawings of objects, including construction and architectural drawings. The major topics involve the construction of three-dimensional drawings by the use of various AutoCAD three-dimensional drawing facilities including (1) prismatic-object construction, (2) preconfigured primitive objects, (3) three-dimensional coordinates, and (4) three-dimensional surface entities. (Note: MAC computers are not recommended for ETD courses.)

Learning Outcomes and Objectives

  1. The student will demonstrate an understanding of three-dimensional drawings by:
    1. implementing the AutoCAD ELEVATION and THICKNESS commands to construct a three-dimensional drawing of the object.
    2. creating the BOX, CONE, DOME, DISH, SPHERE, TORUS, and WEDGE commands in constructing three-dimensional drawings of objects that include these types of surfaces.
    3. implementing and applying the AutoCAD three-dimensional coordinate system in creating drawings of general three-dimensional objects.
    4. applying the AutoCAD three-dimensional surface commands in constructing drawings of three-dimensional objects.
  2. The student will demonstrate an understanding of three-dimensional drawings to display objects from various viewpoints by:
    1. implementing and applying the VPOINT command in creating specified views of an object.
    2. implementing and applying the DVIEW command creating specified views of an object.
    3. implementing and applying the AutoCAD VIEWPORTS utility in creating multiple-view displays of an object.
  3. The student will demonstrate an understanding of three-dimensional drawings according to specified standards by:
    1. plotting a drawing using the AutoCAD plot utility.
    2. implementing and applying the AutoCAD PAPER SPACE utility in arranging, detailing, and plotting views of the object.
    3. creating conventional building construction and architectural designs.

Criteria Performance Standard

Upon successful completion of the course the student will, with a minimum of 70% accuracy and demonstrate mastery.
