15 marks (= )
Include a range of graphic techniques – manual and/or electronic
Must have sufficient technical detail to inform development of CAD work.
Must contain some complex features.
Include a range of dimensioned sketches which are annotated AND CAD modelling plans.
Technical detail such as: exploded views, sectional views, cut-aways, assembly details, enlarged details, range of movement and other relevant technical details
All work is done showing various line types, views are correctly laid out, all dimensions done to British Standards
Rendered 2D and 3D components and/or assemblies.
Both CAD modelling plans and pictorial views of desks can be used.
A selection of very good quality orthographic sketches AND pictorial views that are design driven.

8. Preliminary graphics - Tips
(for production drawings and promotional documents or publications)
15 marks (= )
Add little people in your sketches to show proportion.
Your ideas must include complex features (helix, extrude along path, array, loft, mirror etc)
Include orthographic, isometric, 2 point perspective and exploded with little sketches and details/sections in the modelling plan.
Rendering can be done using pencils, marker pens and any other media – NOTE rendering is important.
Work to BSI in all sketches and drawings.
Images can be scanned and inserted in to a master page.
If you can’t sketch/render then do your ideas in Inventor (but do not add dimensions etc.)

9. Preliminary graphics – DTP planning
(for production drawings and promotional documents or publications)
15 marks (= )
Include a range of graphic techniques – manual and/or electronic
Consider a range of effective layouts. Have you been thorough in your planning activities?
Can use thumbnails and/or more fully worked up visuals (electronically perhaps).
Justification of design elements and DTP features relates specifically to the brief. Show how you have a good understanding of the impact of the layout.
Include annotations on your layouts describing the features and justifying their impact and inclusion.
NOTE:
This work will be completed after the CAD production drawings have been done.

10. Preliminary graphics – DTP planning - tips
(for production drawings and promotional documents or publications)
15 marks (= )
Make it clear that you understand how the design elements and principles have made an impact on your layouts.
Explain clearly how DTP techniques you have used have enhanced your designs.
Make sure that all your designs and layout refer back to the design brief.

11. Production drawings and CAD models 30 marks
The majority of the marks (27) in this section are derived from the production drawings sheets.
The assembling of the environment and the inclusion of supplementary models is worth 3 marks. Note that the environment is also allocated marks in the promotional documents section.

12. Production drawings and CAD models 30 marks (=27+3)
The assembly of components is correct in all instances. All constraints correct with no misalignments.
Production drawings and CAD models
30 marks (=27+3)
Examples of complex features include:
complex profiles, application of 3D features(such as, tapers, off-sets, helices and threads, and projected geometry), and edits, including: chamfers, fillets, shells, mirrors, and arrays.
All components and assemblies demonstrate a very good skill in draughting and modelling.
Communicating complex details and features is done very well.
A minimum of 3 different CAD modelling techniques (eg extrude, revolve, loft, sweep, helix).
This is based on the CAD modelling plan.

13. Production drawings and CAD models 30 marks (=27+3)
Orthographic views(x3) from components and assemblies have been produced.
Appropriate pictorials created. Work should show a high of level quality in terms of scale, accuracy and clarity of drawings.
Drawings need to have enough information to allow the desk to be manufactured.
Sufficiently dimensioned, suitable hidden detail, centre lines and fold lines.
All work adheres to BS8888.
Third angle, view titles, scale, tolerances and title block. All line types and dimensions are correct.
2D and/or 3D work contains 3 or more examples of relevant additional information to support manufacture.
e.g. exploded views, sectional views, enlarged detail, range of movement.
Should be correctly annotated.

14. Production drawings and CAD models 30 marks (=27+3)
Assembling an environment
The environment is assembled with the main model AND different supplementary models.
Models should be appropriately scaled and placed in context.

15. Production drawings and CAD models - Tips 30 marks (=27+3)
In addition to your orthographic and pictorial views make sure you include appropriate sub assemblies, relevant details with dimensions.
Include a parts list that references an exploded view.

16. Promotional documents or publication
21 marks
The marks for this section are split between the DTP document and the environment produced.

17. Promotional documents or publication 21 marks (=12+9)
The first 12 marks are for the DTP item that you produce.
Document incorporates DTP features applied with high level of skill and significant visual impact.
Should use several from: colour, contrast, unity, depth, dominance, alignment, text wrap, flow along a path, bleed, transparency, drop shadow, rotate, justification, reverse, columns, gutter, caption, header, footer.
In response to ALL requirements of the brief a DTP document is produced.

18. Promotional documents or publication 21 marks (=12+9)
The second 9 marks are for the environment
Illustration techniques applied to the 3D environment are fully relevant and demonstrate very good skills in application.
Use of light on form such as: fills, highlights, shadows and textures (appropriately scaled) to improve the look of the model.
Illustrations used in the 3D model enhance the environment and fully support the requirements of the brief.
Use of logos, fonts, typeface, colour schemes and any other information supplied from the brief.

19. Promotional documents or publication - Tips 21 marks (=12+9)
Ensure that all items are constrained correctly.
Make sure you include a decal in the environment.
Make sure the light level is good (not too light or too dark).
Include some existing library parts (eg from GrabCAD)
