Course content
In the practical part, the subject aims to acquaint students with the basics of work in the MicroStation CAD system, which is used as a platform for working with large-scale maps at most land and cadastral offices. Students should acquire basic skills for working with this software package as part of practical exercises on the computer, which they can later use when designing landscaping, working with geometric plans, cadastral maps, etc. Basic skills can be developed when working with other superstructures (POZEM, GeoGraphics). Students should learn how to create 3D models in Trimble SketchUp CAD software to text their surface. Lectures: 1. Introduction to MicroStatin and its superstructure including 3D modeling, basics of MicroStation work (toolbars, windows, views, layers, ramps, manipulation with elements, selection), vector and raster data, polar and rectangular coordinates 2. Main Tools Task Manager - (1D, 2D Elements - Linear Elements, Curves, Circle, Ellipse, etc.) - Acceleration, AcuDraw, Text 3. Hatching, cell manipulation, cell library, dimensions 4. Switches, models, repetitions 5. 3D modeling, drawing drawing 6. Modeling and Visualization in Trimble SketchUp Exercises: 1. Lecture lesson - introduction to MicroStation - practical lessons: views, layers, etc. 2. Processing of a separate task - 2D construction, work with elements 3. Working with cells, processing of individual tasks - 2D design, work with elements 4. Elaboration of a separate task - 2D design, work with elements, 5. accudraw 6. composite elements 7. Hatching 8. text and cells 9 measurement 10 Dimensions 11. edit the environment 12. duplicities 13. Checking assignments, credits

Learning outcomes
The aim of the theoretical part of this subject is to inform students about the basic of computer graphics and design in CAD system. In the practical part the subject propose to inform students about basics of works in CAD system and MicroStation, used as the basis of dealing with maps of bigger ratio scales in most of Land Settlement Offices and in Land Register Offices. Students may within the practical exercises assume the basic skills for operation with this software pack, which they can later use by land consolidation projection, plat map creation and by working with cadastral maps ? They can take up on this basic knowledge in other applications (e.g. POZEM, GeoGraphics).
The student is able to create, edit and interpret drawings and maps.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledges of works with PC.
