Emphasis will be placed on using software tools to create drawings that effectively communicate the intention of the designer to clients and others; on organizing information within the drawing environment to simplify the production and revision of drawings; and on building the skills necessary to produce drawings efficiently. The class will be taught using Vectorworks and other 3-D software; however, the basic concepts and skills apply generally to all 3-D software applications. (CSU)
