5

Know how to create an original garden design using a wide range of CAD techniques.

Assessment Criteria

  • 5.1

    Prepare a survey based on their design project, using triangulation and offsets as necessary and utilising combined and edited 2D objects.

  • 5.2

    Draw a layout plan based on their design, which demonstrates a high level of competence in the use of combined and edited 2D objects, differentiated layers, classes and text.

  • 5.3

    Draw a layout plan based on their design, which demonstrates a high level of competence in the use of combined and edited 2D objects, differentiated layers, classes and text.
