Exact Computer Methods

FA-EPMAcad. year: 2009/2010

The optional subject "Microstation in urban design" is intended for students of the 4. year of the 1. Grade BSP. The classes take place in the winter semester, 2 hours per week, the number of credits making 2. At present, a MicroStation J software is being used. The aim of the subject is to make the students acquainted with the application of this program to planning documents, not only in the studios of urban design. The tutorial is expected to result in the student's mastering the work with the individual tools, reference drawings and maps, as well as printed outputs and communication with other programs. The result at the end of the semester is an urban layout plan.
