List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. Where bold italicised text is used, further information is detailed in the range of conditions. |
1. | Set up and manage files for digital 3-D models of small-scale building design projects. | 1.1. | Files are created, named, saved and retrieved according to project and workplace requirements. |
| 1.2. | Digital two-dimensional (2-D) drawing files are imported as required using suitable file transfer protocols. |
| 1.3. | Files are exported and transferred for client and consultant use in required formats using suitable file transfer protocols. |
2. | Create digital 3-D models of building designs. | 2.1. | Sources of customised architectural objects for digital 3D models are identified and accessed. |
| 2.2. | 3-D modelling functions of design software are operated to create 3-D model and additional objects according to project and workplace requirements. |
| 2.3. | Architectural objects are applied to 3-D models according to project and workplace requirements. |
3. | Produce digital 3-D model presentation. | 3.1. | 3-D models are manipulated to create a range of views according to project and workplace requirements. |
| 3.2. | Dimensions and notations are applied to views as required. |
| 3.3. | 3-D models are checked for accuracy, completeness and quality according to workplace procedures. |
| 3.4. | Presentation styles and display controls are selected and applied according to project and workplace requirements. |
4. | Present digital 3-D models to clients. | 4.1. | 3-D models are presented and explained to client to ensure client understanding of designs, according to workplace procedures. |
| 4.2. | Client feedback is encouraged and incorporated into models. |
| 4.3. | Files for finalised 3-D models are saved and processed according to project and workplace requirements. |
A person demonstrating competency in this unit must satisfy the requirements of the elements, performance criteria, foundation skills and range of conditions of this unit.
The person must also produce three-dimensional (3-D) models of building designs for three different projects, consisting of:
