Produce digital models and documentation for interior design projects

Formats and tools

Unit Description
Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
Assessment Tool
an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
Assessment Template
generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
Assessment Matrix
a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
Wiki Markup
mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
Evidence Guide
create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
Competency Mapping Template
Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
Observation Checklist
create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)

Self Assessment Survey
A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
Moodle Outcomes
Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
Registered Training Organisations
Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver MSFID4014, 'Produce digital models and documentation for interior design projects'.
Google Links
links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
Books
Reference books for 'Produce digital models and documentation for interior design projects' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)


Elements and Performance Criteria

Elements

Performance Criteria

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

1. Determine project requirements

1.1 Review and confirm project brief and its parameters

1.2 Identify drawing and documentation requirements based on examination of design concepts and proposed solutions

1.3 Confirm and check calculations and measurements for accuracy and cohesion

1.4 Select and prepare computing equipment and suitable software for use based on the project needs

1.5 Create customised template in accordance with individual workplace requirements

2. Produce 3D model and documentation

2.1 Design, create and apply layering strategy for project

2.2 Develop architectural library for relevant design components

2.3 Create custom designed library parts in accordance with operating system

2.4 Apply text, line, font and dimension styles

2.5 Use pan, zoom and orbit tools to navigate in the 2D and 3D windows within the model

2.6 Add text and notations to the drawing in accordance with drawing protocols

2.7 Add dimensions to the drawing in accordance with drawing protocols

2.8 Produce 3D detailed suite of rooms, complete with fenestration and doors on appropriate layers

2.9 Use advanced features of drawing tools to generate 3D form

3. Create 2D drawings and edit components

3.1 Create drawings from the model created

3.2 Use editing tools correctly to modify drawing elements and text

3.3 Modify, change or transfer object properties to a different layer

4. Render surfaces

4.1 Use CAD library to assign materials to surfaces and objects of the model

4.2 Explore and create new material surfaces that supplement library of materials

4.3 Edit texture, transparency, luminescence and patterns to achieve desired surface effects using shade settings

4.4 Include light fixtures in model and adjust parameters to achieve desired effects

5. Create and edit 3D views of the model

5.1 Create isometric, two and three point perspective views using a range of camera settings and rendering techniques

5.2 Reposition camera or target to provide alternate views using a variety of camera techniques

5.3 Create effect of natural and artificial lighting in 3D space to achieve photo realistic awareness of the 3D model and the effect of light on surfaces

5.4 Examine rendering time considerations to achieve specific output.

6. Plot and print for final presentations

6.1 Save perspective views and make appropriate for final media presentation

6.2 Save appropriate views to meet requirements of brief

6.3 Create page layout for plotting and printing

6.4 Prepare page layout using saved views and documentation

6.5 Plot 2D documentation with appropriate line weights

6.6 Prepare slide show presentation using saved views and documentation

7. Save and back up files

7.1 Create folders and files in logical structure to store drawing projects

7.2 Save and file drawings to allow easy access according to workplace documentation system

7.3 Identify and compare appropriate techniques for reducing file size

7.4 Back-up copies of files in accordance with organisation procedures
