Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply surface modelling techniques to 3D drawings and is primarily suitable for those performing a drafting role. It can be applied across a range of engineering disciplines including applications in CAD, computer graphics and animation, rapid prototyping, medical testing and visualisation of scientific research. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine surface modelling requirements
  • 1.1 Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
  • 1.2 Check purpose, scope and information requirements for surface modelling task
  • 1.3 Interpret available information relevant to project and work requirements, and identify and address further information needs
  • 1.4 Identify and prepare equipment required to complete work
  • 1.5 Identify and apply relevant codes, standards and symbols relevant to work
  • 1.6 Consult appropriate personnel to ensure the work is coordinated effectively with others involved in the project
2. Perform surface modelling
  • 2.1 Prepare 3D environment for drawing work
  • 2.2 Identify surface types, analyse surface data and prepare drawing for surface modelling
  • 2.3 Determine key features of surface modelling software package and select methodology appropriate for task
  • 2.4 Set up and apply wire frame and surface modelling techniques
  • 2.5 Edit and manipulate surfaces and apply rendering techniques
  • 2.6 Exploit surface modelling software to optimise productivity
3. Prepare views and annotations
  • 3.1 Display isometric and orthographic perspectives
  • 3.2 Extract properties from the surface model
  • 3.3 Annotate drawing and complete required documentation
4. Complete CAD operations
  • 4.1 Confirm drawing accurately reflects specifications, is presented according to work requirements and contains all relevant information
  • 4.2 Save and file drawing elements in accordance with SOPs
  • 4.3 Prepare drawings for presentation
  • 4.4 Evaluate work and identify areas for improvement
  • 4.5 Close applications, perform CAD housekeeping and maintain organisational filing system
