Computer Application
ABOUT Computer Application
This course will be introducing students to the world of Computer Generated 3-Dimensional drawings. The course will be taught with minimal handouts but there will be lectures and tutorial sessions for the students in order to experiment with the software. Students are advised to practice daily, as only through practice will they be able to understand and master the software. They are also encouraged to carry out self-research in regards to the other capabilities and more complicated features of 3Ds Max and Revit Architecture. Students will also be taught the potential of “cross breeding” different software, in order to garner the necessary desired results for their visualization work.
Project 1
Revit Modeling & Documentation
A. Revit Modelling
1. You are required to generate a Revit model based on the selected architectural design, ensuring that the model complies with the requirements of LOD 200 (refer to Appendix 1).
2. Your Revit model should contain a minimum of TWO Revit Family components. COMPUTER APPLICATIONS (ARC 60604): March 2023 2
3. As part of the project requirements, you must create a public blog. It is essential to upload Work in Progress (WIP) print screens and test renderings REGULARLY to the online platform to showcase evidence of the working process continually.
B. Architectural Drawings Documentation
1. As part of this project, you are required to prepare building documentation drawings in A1 size using the Revit model from Project 1. These documentation drawings should include the following components:
Plans
Elevations
2 Sections
2 Callouts on sections
1 Exploded isometric
1 Room Schedule showing area tabulation
2. As part of the project requirements, you must create a public blog. It is essential to upload Work in Progress (WIP) print screens and test renderings REGULARLY to the online platform to showcase evidence of the working process continually

Project 2
Exterior and Interior Rendering
The project involves producing photorealistic renders of the selected architectural design using 3DS Max, incorporating appropriate materials, camera views, and post-production enhancements to achieve the desired visual outcome. The visualisation work will be assessed based on the methods and applications of materials, types of lights and effects used to set up the scene, setting up appropriate camera views for rendering, and skills in using post-production tools to enhance the final product.
