Modification History
Release 1 - New unit of competency
Unit Descriptor
This unit of competency covers producing and interpreting lines and plan drawings using manual or computer-aided design (CAD) or drafting techniques.
Application of the Unit
This unit applies to drawing and lofting principles relevant to procedures used to produce lines, plan drawings and loftings. Common applications of this unit are in marine vessel construction.
In a marine setting, tasks may be related to a variety of hull designs; section development, such as curved and raking transom; conical development and camber development methods. General arrangement plans may also be addressed to provide a greater drawing diversity.
All drawings/data should comply with industry requirements.
Straightforward take-offs from lofted drawings is covered by MEM12007D Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes. Also, where transfer of lines to lofting floor or other surface is carried out, MEM12007D Mark off/out structural fabrications and shapes, should be selected in addition to this unit.
If a CAD system is used, the unit MEM30031A Operate computer-aided design (CAD) system to produce basic drawing elements, should also be selected.
Licensing/Regulatory Information
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Overview of assessment |
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to interpret and produce curved 3-D shapes. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit |
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. Specifically the candidate must be able to:
|
Context of and specific resources for assessment |
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with interpreting and producing curved 3-D shapes or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment |
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways, including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |
