Application of Computer Technologies in Building Design by Example of Original Objects of Increased Complexity

[摘要] The article deals with the solution of problems in AutoCAD offered at the All-Russian student Olympiads at the section of "Computer graphics" that are not typical for the students of construction specialties. The students are provided with the opportunity to study the algorithm for solving original tasks of high complexity. The article shows how the unknown parameter underlying the construction can be determined using a parametric drawing with geometric constraints and dimensional dependencies. To optimize the mark-up operation, the use of the command for projecting the points and lines of different types onto bodies and surfaces in different directions is shown. For the construction of a spring with a different pitch of turns, the paper describes the creation of a block from a part of the helix and its scaling when inserted into a model with unequal coefficients along the axes. The advantage of the NURBS surface and the application of the "body-surface-surface-NURBS-body" conversion are reflected to enhance the capabilities of both solid and surface modeling. The article's material introduces construction students into the method of constructing complex models in AutoCAD that are not similar to typical training assignments.
