Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey everyone, I'm David and today we're
2. 0:02going to look at an architectural design
3. 0:04presentation. Let's walk through a
4. 0:06project together to show you how to
5. 0:07speed up the process using a Rayon
6. 0:08design. You can grab this template for
7. 0:11free through the link in our
8. 0:12description. If you're new to Rayon,
9. 0:14take a look at their 10-minute demo
10. 0:15video. The link is in the description
11. 0:17box
12. 0:18below. Now, let's get started. You can
13. 0:21import, edit, and create architectural
14. 0:23drawings in Rayon. For more info on how
15. 0:25to do so, please head to our YouTube
16. 0:27channel Tutorials. Once your drawing is
17. 0:29in place, you can stylize, render, and
18. 0:31prepare perfect presentations like this
19. 0:33one. I'll walk you through using styles,
20. 0:35annotations, and how to use blocks in
21. 0:37Rayon to enrich your presentation before
22. 0:39publishing it. Let's dive
23. 0:41in. Open your browser and go to
24. 0:44rayon.design. Sign up to create a new
25. 0:49account. Once you sign in, you can
26. 0:52create a new model or use one of the
27. 0:55pre-made drawings from Rayon's template
28. 0:57selection.
29. 1:00[Music]
30. 1:02Let's start with talking about styles.
31. 1:04I'm going to zoom in on this elevation
32. 1:08drawing. As you can see here, we have a
33. 1:10couple different styles being used to
34. 1:12show the different materials on the
35. 1:13walls. We have some stones. We have some
36. 1:16vertical lines and some diagonal lines.
37. 1:19Now, these are all just different hatch
38. 1:21patterns that all come loaded into
39. 1:25Rayon. Using styles, we can control the
40. 1:29graphics of the drawing in a much more
41. 1:32powerful way than simply just choosing
42. 1:34different hatch patterns, which of
43. 1:36course you can do. You can just choose a
44. 1:37square
45. 1:39pattern. But let me undo that and show
46. 1:42you how to use styles. So, imagine you
47. 1:45want to take all of these stone hatched
48. 1:48walls and turn them into uh really
49. 1:51anything else. So, let's start by
50. 1:53selecting them all using shift. And when
51. 1:56you can't get it, when you can't get
52. 1:58something, you can tab through to select
53. 2:01difficult to pick ones. So, here we go.
54. 2:08Now, once we have all of these selected,
55. 2:10we could just change their hatch pattern
56. 2:13or we could make them all into a style.
57. 2:18So, save
58. 2:21style. We can call it
59. 2:23demo. It uses this hatch
60. 2:27pattern and we're good. And then we can
61. 2:30replace all of these with
62. 2:34demo.
63. 2:37Now when we select one of these patch
64. 2:41patterns, we can see the demo comes up
65. 2:44in our style panel. And what we can do
66. 2:47now is we can edit the
67. 2:50style. Let's change it to those squares.
68. 2:55And now everything using that style will
69. 2:57[Music]
70. 3:00change. This is a very powerful tool.
71. 3:02You can use it for almost anything in
72. 3:05Rayon, not just elevation drawings. And
73. 3:06you can also use it for things other
74. 3:08than hatches. So, for example, we could
75. 3:10change this demo style from hatches to a
76. 3:15solid color. Let's say we want to paint
77. 3:17all the walls
78. 3:21blue. And of course, if you want to
79. 3:24break a style, you can do that. You can
80. 3:26select one of these
81. 3:29walls, detach the
82. 3:33style, and then go back to your
83. 3:36[Music]
84. 3:39hatch. Now, let's go to the kitchen
85. 3:41floor plan and look at some of the
86. 3:43annotation
87. 3:45tools. One thing you might want to do is
88. 3:47to annotate the distance between the
89. 3:50cabinets and the kitchen island to make
90. 3:52sure that there's enough clearance.
91. 3:54Let's do this using the dimension
92. 3:56tool. Simply click on the edge of the
93. 3:58two elements
94. 4:01and you'll have a dimension that you can
95. 4:03place it any point you want to make sure
96. 4:05it's
97. 4:07legible. Now, the first thing you might
98. 4:09notice is that this dimension text is
99. 4:11larger than all of the other ones in the
100. 4:13plan. We can fix this by seeing what
101. 4:15style is being
102. 4:18used. Style being used is inner. So,
103. 4:20let's click on our
104. 4:22dimension and click on replace all and
105. 4:26replace it with inner. Great. Now,
106. 4:28everything's looking nice and
107. 4:32consistent. Now, of course, if you click
108. 4:35on this dimension and you wanted to
109. 4:38change
110. 4:38inner, you could edit the style and
111. 4:41change anything about it. The font, the
112. 4:44text size, the arrows, anything you
113. 4:47like. So, let's just play around with it
114. 4:50and make the text really big. As you can
115. 4:53see, everything adapts
116. 4:55[Music]
117. 4:57nicely. Really powerful tool for keeping
118. 5:00your drawing nice and
119. 5:03consistent. Now, we can also really
120. 5:06easily make some custom annotations.
121. 5:08Let's describe the kitchen island. Click
122. 5:11on leader. Click on the element. Let's
123. 5:14go up a bit.
124. 5:17Type in kitchen
125. 5:20island. And there you have it. Let's
126. 5:23apply a
127. 5:26style. And you can just move it until
128. 5:30it's
129. 5:31legible. Maybe even lines up with the
130. 5:37dimension. Now, let's talk about blocks.
131. 5:39An easy way to bring some life into your
132. 5:41drawings. As you can see here, we're in
133. 5:43the dining space and the living space.
134. 5:45And the dining space has lots of
135. 5:47furniture in it, while the living space
136. 5:49has nothing. So, to make this look like
137. 5:52a living space, let's get some
138. 5:54blocks. There are preloaded libraries
139. 5:57full of blocks in Rayon that you can
140. 5:59access through the blocks
141. 6:01panel. All you do is you go to library
142. 6:04and you start searching for what you
143. 6:05need. So, let's type in
144. 6:07living. And now it's bringing up all the
145. 6:09blocks that are associated to living
146. 6:11rooms. So, another way to search is you
147. 6:14could look for the item specific item
148. 6:15you're looking for. So, let's type in
149. 6:18sofa. And here's a bunch of
150. 6:22sofas. Let's take this one and drop it
151. 6:25into the
152. 6:26drawing. Great.
153. 6:38[Music]
154. 6:55[Music]
155. 7:16[Music]
156. 7:33[Music]
157. 7:35Now, you might notice something and that
158. 7:37some of the lines aren't looking
159. 7:39perfect. On the armchair, for example,
160. 7:41we have a thick black line that doesn't
161. 7:43match the other
162. 7:44furniture. This can all be fixed as all
163. 7:46of these blocks are fully customizable
164. 7:48once you put them into your drawing.
165. 7:50Just go over to your styles
166. 7:54panel, change the black line to a gray
167. 7:57line.
168. 7:59[Music]
169. 8:08Now everything's looking nice and
170. 8:10consistent. An additional feature of
171. 8:12blocks is the ability to easily switch
172. 8:14them into section or elevation
173. 8:16view. Each block has a family. As you
174. 8:20can see here in
175. 8:21purple, if you click on the family, it
176. 8:24shows you the blocks of the side view
177. 8:26and the front
178. 8:28view. So let's go back to the main view.
179. 8:33And if we were to put this block into
180. 8:35our
181. 8:37drawing, of course, this top view
182. 8:39doesn't make much sense here. But if we
183. 8:41go to the side and switch its definition
184. 8:43from
185. 8:46top to
186. 8:48side, it will import the side
187. 8:50view. And now we have a side view of
188. 8:54that exact same block in our
189. 8:56drawing. Now let's zoom out and look at
190. 8:59the entire canvas. figure out how to
191. 9:00share this project using presentation
192. 9:04mode. As you can see, each of these
193. 9:06drawings is in a page. Down here, you
194. 9:09can use the page
195. 9:10button. So, this title block down here
196. 9:12is not on a page yet. So, I can just
197. 9:14click and drag to make a new page.
198. 9:18But even better than that, if I want the
199. 9:21page to be consistent with the pages I'm
200. 9:23already using, I can go to I can take
201. 9:26the elevation page, hold down alt,
202. 9:29option, click and
203. 9:32drag, and now line it up with my
204. 9:36final page. Make sure everything's
205. 9:40perfect. Now I can rename this
206. 9:43page work because that's what it is.
207. 9:47Enter. Now I have a milwork
208. 9:50page. The only problem now is that my
209. 9:53presentation isn't in the correct
210. 9:55order. The milwork page should be the
211. 9:57last page of my presentation. But right
212. 9:59now it's page nine and the mood board is
213. 10:02at the end. This is an easy fix. You go
214. 10:05to the side, open up pages. You can
215. 10:08reorder your pages. And this is how
216. 10:10exactly how they'll appear in the
217. 10:11presentation.
218. 10:13So let's scroll to the
219. 10:15bottom. Simply drag milwork below mood
220. 10:19board. Done. Now milwork will appear on
221. 10:24slide 10. You see the number updated
222. 10:30there. Now to share your
223. 10:32presentation first maybe you want to
224. 10:34preview it. So next to the share button
225. 10:36let's first go to preview.
226. 10:42[Music]
227. 10:55And here you can see your whole
228. 10:57presentation in the correct order with
229. 11:01no work at the
230. 11:05end. Next step is to click publish.
231. 11:11Now the presentation is ready for
232. 11:14sharing. As you can see, now we're in
233. 11:16present mode, which means the
234. 11:19presentation is live. You can refresh it
235. 11:22after making changes, or you can
236. 11:23unpublish it to take it
237. 11:27down. If you're ready to share your
238. 11:29presentation, simply go to the copy link
239. 11:31button and a link will be copied to your
240. 11:33clipboard.
241. 11:35You can open up a new tab, paste it
242. 11:37[Music]
243. 11:47in, and your browser will open up the
244. 11:50presentation in presentation mode for
245. 11:52anybody to see even if they don't have a
246. 11:54rayon
247. 11:55account. Alternatively, you can also
248. 11:57control presentation from the share
249. 11:59menu.
250. 12:01very end. You can click on presentation
251. 12:03and it'll show you all of the
252. 12:04information about your presentation,
253. 12:05including a button to update it or to
254. 12:08disable it if you want to work on it and
255. 12:10not let anybody see it. You can also
256. 12:12copy the URL from here or simply open it
257. 12:14in a new
258. 12:19[Music]
259. 12:24tab. There you have it. A clean,
260. 12:26professional presentation created with
