Education_SIG_011 Education Special Interest Group August 2013

This session we looked at technical drawing skills and whether or not they are still valuable. we looked at a drawing tutorial to see if it would help explain some basic drawing technology.
 

I believe that these basic technical drawing (mechanical drawing) skills are vital. I know that Vectorworks can be used to complete a lot of these tasks automatically, but it is still important to understand how they work.
Topics covered:

• introduction to technical drawing
• looking at the technical drawing exercises on this website
• creating an orthogonal drawing
• drawn lines tangent to a curve
• creating a fillet corner with Vectorworks
• creating a fillet corner manually
• placing a house on the plan using triangulation
• finding two curves that join at tangent
• review of the book “the shallows” and how it explains the changes in your brain
• looking at the work by the E I T students
