SketchUp在水利工程制图教学中的应用

The Application of SketchUp in Teaching Hydraulic Engineering Drawing

“水利工程制图”是水利水电工程技术专业重要的专业基础课程。在“水工建筑物标高投影及坡脚线绘制”章节教学中,将SketchUp软件应用其中,可简便快速绘制不规则地形曲面及土坝三维模型,分析建筑物与地面交点的标高投影,演示坡脚线的形成过程,将投影关系形象化、可视化。该教学法不仅能降低学习难度,有效突破教学重难点,且能拓展学生空间思维能力,提升其学习积极性,从而达到预期教学目标。

HydraulicEngineeringDrawing is a crucial foundational course for the Hydraulic Engineering Specialty.In the teaching process of the elevation projection chapter,the application of SketchUp software allows for the easy and rapid creation of irregular terrain surfaces and three-dimensional models of earth dams.This approach facilitates the analysis of the elevation projection of intersection points between structures and the ground,and demonstrates the formation process of toe lines,making the projection relationships more intuitive and visual.This teaching method not only reduces learning difficulty and effectively addresses key teaching challenges,but also enhances students’spatial thinking abilities and improves their learning motivation,thereby achieving the desired teaching objectives.
