Unit 5 Competency 1 - Create 2-D and 3-D models with CAD software
Suggested Objective a: Identify drafting and design applications in business and industry
Look at this site from Microsoft Links to an external site.. It is entitled Chapter 4: A Technique for Architecture and Design Links to an external site.. This article Links to an external site.relates steps needed in designing "something" for a career in of our three focus areas. It also provides scenarios and issues faced in designing. Take a look at the information by clicking the link Links to an external site..
Now look at the many different buildings and structures that have been constructed by people in the three career clusters shown on this page.

Let's take a moment to look at the history of drafting and design. Some websites are provided below with great information. The last one even has a couple of videos on the page. View the information and take notes as necessary for recall.

Suggested Objective b: Identify terms and concepts related to drafting and design
Attributes: A quality or feature regarded as a characteristic or inherent part of someone or something
Axis: An imaginary straight line passing through the center of a symmetrical solid and about which a plane figure can be conceived as rotating to generate the solid
CAD: Computer-aided design
Dimensions: Cut or shape an object to particular measurements
Drafting: To draw the outlines or plan of; sketch
Engineer: A person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works
Interact: Act in such a way as to have an effect on another
Isometric View: Isometric projection is a form of graphical projection, more specifically, a form of axonometric projection.
Measurement: The size, length, or amount of something, as established by measuring
Monochrome: Consisting of or displaying images in black and white or in varying tones of only one color
Orbit: The curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a star, planet, or moon, esp. a periodic elliptical revolution
Orthographic View: A camera view that shows one side of an object or scene (front, side, top, back, and so on) so it appears projected on a plane without the effect of perspective
Perspective View: An approximate representation, on a flat surface (such as paper), of an image as it is seen by the eye
Plans: A detailed proposal for doing or achieving something
Scale: A system of ordered marks at fixed intervals used as a reference standard in measurement
Suggested Objective c: Distinguish between the types of drawing views: Orthographic, Isometric, and Perspective
There are different types of drawings for computer design. We will learn about three specific drawings in this section: orthographic, isometric, and perspective. Click the links below to learn more.
