About the Course

The course provides knowledge of and skills with Parametric Object-based Modelling, which is the process of defining and manipulating architectural models using parameters and automation. The course provides skills with industry-standard software and production methods for architectural 3D modelling. The course presents methods that enables problem-solving and accurate representation of architectural models through insight into relevant standards and regulations. Candidates also learn techniques for reusing models and appropriate drawing generation from 3D models. The course builds on competence from 3D Mechanical. 

The course provides a deeper understanding of technical drawings and introduces 3D architectural models. The candidate learns professional terminology and essential techniques for developing 3D models using modern 3D CAD software. The candidate is provided insight to standard requirements and principles for the development of technical models.
