  14. Exercises in 3D modelling, continued. Section and Slice. Complex extrusion. Creating projections and sections based on the 3D model. Dimensioning in 3D.
  15. Solid modelling, creating projections and sections based on the 3D model.

Passing the course

In order to obtain a positive grade the student is obliged to pass two tests. Each test can be improved only once. Final grade is an average of grades obtained during the course. All the required class exercises have to be completed by the student and submitted for assessment during semester.
