    Description
    (Advisory: ARCH 120, and ARCH 110 or 130.) Students learn basic 3D computer modeling applications for use in architectural design and related fields, augmenting hand modeling and drawing techniques already in place. Includes use of computer-based presentation tools for effective communication; these will be helpful in the design studio and later with clients and broader audiences such as city planners and neighbors. The class uses current industry-standard software, currently SketchUp Pro and Rhino. Software provided, computer provided as needed. The concepts learned will also serve students encountering other modeling/presentation programs in the future. (CSU/UC)
