30075 - Drawing and CAD for the Design

Academic Year 2010/2011

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Agricultural Sciences and Technologies (cod. 0878)

Learning outcomes

Knowledge of the main software tools for technical drawing and their employment for the design of rural buildings. Expected skills: CAD representation of farm buildings and relative technical features. These skills are increasingly required in the professional activity and are necessary for the agronomist qualifying examination.

Course contents

Introduction to rural buildings:   farm   layout; barns, warehouses and shelters; dairy housing .

Fundamentals of technical drawing for building design : d rawing tools and graphic conventions (UNI standards; line types and thicknesses; dimensioning and scaling; texts and symbols); basic geometric constructions; orthogonal projections (plans and plants; front views; sections).

Design process: preliminary, definitive, executive design; organization and content of the project; scales and conventions of representation.

The computer-aided design (CAD): bases and main commands; layer management; dimensioning; print settings.
