表现与表达 从计算机辅助制图到辅助设计——以3DMAX为例

Representation and Expression From Computer——Aided Drawing to Computer Aided Design——A Case Study of 3DMAX

通过长期以来对3DMAX的操作、实践、研究与探索,得出了计算机若干辅助生成设计的方法。介绍这些方法,是希望能为计算机辅助设计教学与应用提供一条新的思路,让更多的读者了解普通建模软件不仅可以再现方案——辅助制图,而且能够介入方案设计,进行创作表达。辅助设计的本质是思维方式的转变。

Most of current curriculums of Space Design in Chinese Universities are limited to simple description of software functions and reproduction of existing designs. However, computer-aided design should have been employed throughout the process of design and it may improve the outcome of design. Based on the author＇s experience in the study and the application of 3DMAX, the paper tries to put forward several methods of designing with the aid of computer, in the hope of throwing new light on the teaching and application of computer-aided design. The paper also claims that modeling software can be used not only in reproducing the program （computer-aided protraction） but also in expression of the idea （computer-aided design） with the essence of shifting the way of thinking.
