AF175U Integrated CAD for Construction 1 7.5 credits

• Basic theory on building standards and drawing techniques, system lines and coordinate systems for staking points and explanations about various types of drawings: plan, elevation, sectional, detail and site plans
• Basic information on drawing types and planning work in the building industry
• User interfaces and drawing environments in CAD programmes
• Coordinate systems, lines, line types and managing scaling line types in CAD
• Drawing and editing commands
• Layers and plotting
• Text and dimensions
• Hatching on two-dimensional surfaces
• Blocks in construction drawings
• Documentation and managing layout as well as regulations on plotting and printing
• External references in practice
• Creating projects in application programmes for construction

Upon successful completion of the course, students are expected to be able to:

• explain which drawing formats and types can be used in a model-oriented CAD project
• be aware of reference lines, grid lines, coordinate systems, and measurement units
• explain the various standard line widths in a drawing how they correspond to colours when plotted
• describe drawing size and scale, as well as the connection between objects in their natural size, in model drawings and on paper in CAD programmes
• handle layers and be aware of standard layer systems
• write text in building standard size and adjust it for different drawing environments
• draw and edit objects in CAD modelling environments and handle it in a paper environment
• create and use blocks and symbols in a CAD programme
• manage plotted printouts of model environments and layout environments, made-to-scale plots and plots with correct line widths while using plotting table files
• use external references (links) between drawings and know how to use these in the planning phase
• handle application programmes when setting up a construction project and 3D modelling

General entry requirements

Kompendium i CAD: "Grunder och Projektering"

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The student must pass both the project assignment and the examination in order to receive a final grade for this course.
Final grades are awarded in accordance with the P/F scale.
