Learning unit contents

Learning AutoCAD 3D:

  • Solids, surfaces and meshes.
  • Lighting and sun, geolocation.
  • Materials.
  • Render.
Learning Trimble SketchUp:
  • Modeling and editing 3D objects;
  • digital terrain model;
  • materials;
  • Import / Export files;
  • Animation.
Introduction to the use of Lumion/Twinmotion.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Modeling an object, a single project or a complex project in 3D with AutoCAD software. Change workspace to operate the 3D tools AutoCAD. Set the visual style and share the screen display window. Select projetion in isometric view point. Use wisely 3D creation tools such as solids, surfaces and meshes. Implement operations in solids. Place light sources and / or geolocate the project with a view to positioning the sun for a calculation of shadows. Skip perspective projection. Create and apply procedural or materials with textures. Position the camera and save the view. Rendering an image.
Similar to AutoCAD 3D, the student will learn to master the creation of 2D and 3D objects using Trimble SketchUp Pro software. They will be able to create all kinds of objects, generate a relief and integrate their project on this relief. He will be able to extract 2D views and 3D video animations from them.
The 3D models created will be exported to Lumion/Twinmotion in order to master the basics of using this rendering software to generate a photorealistic model.

Continuous assessment


Further information:

Continuous assessment and submission of work completed in class or at home.

The assessment criteria focus on the acquisition of drawing, editing, annotation, and layout tools and their integration into increasingly difficult situations.

Active and intelligent participation and engagement in the course, as well as attendance at all practical sessions, are criteria that are taken into account in the assessment.

Positive and consistent progress is also taken into account in the assessment.

Assignments must be submitted exclusively on eCampus. Files received by email will not be considered for assessment. If the file size exceeds the limit allowed on the eCampus system, specific instructions will be communicated either to all students or on a case-by-case basis. Files must be submitted to the correct locations on eCampus for each activity, assignment, or assessment.

Attendance is mandatory. Attendance at least 70% of the time is required to pass the course. In the event of excessive absences, the course will not be credited and an exclusion grade will automatically be applied. Attendance cannot be made up in the second session.

Failure to submit at least one assignment will result in failure for the unit.

Work placement(s)

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

Knowledge related to AutoCAD 2D required to take the course in good conditions.

One computer per student. If students bring their own computer to class, they must ensure that it is equipped with a charger and a 2-button mouse + click wheel.

Students are required to save documents produced in class in the network slot provided for this purpose. Nothing will be saved on the desktop or in the documents.

Students must disinfect their hands before entering the room.

At the end of the course, students will clean their workstations using the products provided.

Attendance is compulsory for practical work. A certificate must cover any absence.
