Abstract

In Architecture drawing by computer is widely used in the architect community. In the studio architects' and the ateliers of architects demand the professional who collaborates in the tasks of production and drawing of the architectonic planes, with computer drawing. Lately the introduction of the presentations in three dimensions and multimedia causes the professional to get a better knowledge on these means and their uses. The virtual pads introduce a fundamental concept in drawing up plans or plan survey. But a problem exists, to access to the virtual graphical representation without the necessary maturity in the field of the Architectonic Presentation. In the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid, we are beginning to teach the new forms in presentation architecture projects and to express our work with a clear and concise language. The impression 3D is one of the big trends of last years in the technological area. Nevertheless, the impression 3D has much more behind what it seems in the first instance. Our students make models with a printer 3D. We can see some examples of their works. We must think that independently of the used technique, the most important thing is to know the aim a priori that we want to obtain. For that reason, a constructive understanding of the architectonic work is advisable, before realizing any representation of the same, and based on it, we will choose the more suitable technique of representation.
