HSC Assessment Task 4 Major Project Development

Now you have developed a series of high quality annotated sketches that demonstrate the development of ideas, you have then justified your design choices and related them to your statement of intent. You are ready to draw your design in Sketch Up for Schools. The purpose of a CAD model drawn in SketchUp is to test and modify your designs, you will then develop accurate working drawings in the next task (4f).

Tips for success:

• Using Sketch Up for Schools, ensure you have set the template to millimeters and you save your project in your Google Drive.

• Any dimension you draw in sketchup needs directly relate back to an actual size of timber you can purchase from Mathews Timber or Bunnings.

• As you go through drawing your project on SketchUp you will make modifications to your design and record them by taking a screen shoot an image and inserting it with an annotation in your portfolio under the heading (Development of Ideas - Prototyping, modelling and testing). This demonstrates your skills and design knowledge of your project.

You can develop quality production and/or working drawings of your chosen design/s, using CAD software such as Sketch Up.

Working drawings are two dimensional orthogonal projections of the project which clearly demonstrate dimensions. A high quality working drawing is used throughout the construction process of a project and is referred to for specific dimensions and joinery.

Tips for success:

• Download and install Sketchup Pro (includes Google Layout)

• Watch the video tutorial from the display cabinet on how to use Google Layout to create the working drawings.

• Refer to the exemplars below to guide your working drawings.

A cutting list clearly outlines all required members for your project, it stipulates the length (L), Width (W) and Thickness (T) and what material this is made used. You will use the information from your list when purchasing your materials.
