Draw Interior Layouts Faster than AutoCAD with Rayon Design — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Hey everyone. In this tutorial, I'll
2. 0:02show you how to draw an interior layout
3. 0:04faster than AutoCAD by using Rayon
4. 0:06Design, where you can import and redraw
5. 0:08floor plans and sections, stylize them,
6. 0:10and share them online as presentations
7. 0:13like this one, all in one workflow. If
8. 0:16you want to find this template, we will
9. 0:17also have it in the link in the
10. 0:18description below. But just to get
11. 0:20started, once you're back at your
12. 0:22homepage, you can press new model up
13. 0:24here at the top right. And that will
14. 0:26open up a new blank model for you. Then
15. 0:28from here, we're going to go over to
16. 0:30menu, go to import, and you can import
17. 0:33an image, a PDF, a DWG, an DXF, or even
18. 0:36just a regular rayon file. Now, right
19. 0:39now, we just have this drawn dotted line
20. 0:42layout. Let's add some walls and some
21. 0:44openings and some zoning for the
22. 0:47different floor types to help us get
23. 0:49started using Rayon Design. Now, first
24. 0:52off, let's use the wall tool down here.
25. 0:54And as you can see here at the top
26. 0:56right, anytime you're using any tool in
27. 0:58Rayon, it's going to pop up this menu
28. 0:59that has what layer you're on and all
29. 1:02the different editing tools that you
30. 1:03could need. Right now, for our wall, you
31. 1:06can change the thickness. Let's go for a
32. 1:08thicker wall. You can change the fill
33. 1:11and you can make it either a solid
34. 1:13color, a texture, which is all these
35. 1:16different wonderful rayon textures, or
36. 1:19you can make it just a hatch.
37. 1:22And for ours, we're going to do
38. 1:26this oblique hatch.
39. 1:29And once again, you can just change it
40. 1:30up here, change the stroke, completely
41. 1:32edit it however you want. And even if
42. 1:34you want to, you can remove it and just
43. 1:36have it be like a basic wall.
44. 1:40And we're just going to click where we
45. 1:42drew this and then go like that. And
46. 1:45then hit enter. And then we're going to
47. 1:48go all the way around. And then right
48. 1:49now it's on the outside of where we drew
49. 1:51it. If you want on the inside, you can
50. 1:52just drag it and move it like that.
51. 1:58Then once all you have all of your walls
52. 2:00drawn like we do here, we're going to go
53. 2:02ahead and add the zoning areas and the
54. 2:04openings as well. Now for the openings,
55. 2:07it's next to the wall tool right here.
56. 2:10And it'll open up the blocks and
57. 2:11libraries tab specifically for the rayon
58. 2:14design openings. Now, here we have the
59. 2:17door and a sliding door and some basic
60. 2:19models. But if you ever want to load any
61. 2:21more in, you can go here to libraries
62. 2:23and click on all these different
63. 2:24wonderful options. We're going to go
64. 2:27here. And for now, let's just use this
65. 2:30door right here, and then just click it,
66. 2:33press select, or you can double click
67. 2:35it. And every single block that Rayon
68. 2:38has has a top view and a side view and a
69. 2:41front view. So, if you're doing a floor
70. 2:43plan, a section, an elevation, all of
71. 2:47them will be available and ready for you
72. 2:49to use and be able to see in Rayon.
73. 2:53And then once you double click on that
74. 2:55door, it'll put the door on your mouse
75. 2:57as so, and you can line it up with the
76. 2:59wall. Just click where you want it, and
77. 3:02then you can orient it how you want.
78. 3:04Make it face where you want. Let's just
79. 3:05put it like this. And then click again,
80. 3:07and it'll put it in the drawing for you.
81. 3:09And if you ever want to edit it, you can
82. 3:11just click it again, move it around,
83. 3:13edit it, do whatever you want with it.
84. 3:16Now that we have all of the openings and
85. 3:18all the walls that we want, let's talk
86. 3:20about the zoning tool. Now, the zoning
87. 3:22tool is right here at the bottom under
88. 3:25the door and the opening tool. And you
89. 3:27for making zones, you're going to want
90. 3:28to use the zone tool and the zone
91. 3:30divider tool. The zone divider tool will
92. 3:32let you separate rooms where there's if
93. 3:35there isn't a wall between them and you
94. 3:37use the zoning tool, like as you can see
95. 3:38here, it's trying to make everything in
96. 3:40blue one big zone. But if you want to
97. 3:43make it, let's say this area right here
98. 3:45where my mouse is a separate zone, you
99. 3:47would have to go here to the zone
100. 3:49divider and then click where you want it
101. 3:51to be separate. So let's say we want one
102. 3:53from here to here.
103. 3:57And then if we press enter and then we
104. 3:59use the zone tool. Now, this area here
105. 4:01is a separate zone. And then once you
106. 4:04click on that, you can see here it'll
107. 4:06make the zone for you and also a label
108. 4:08for the zone as well. And if you just
109. 4:09double click that, you can totally edit
110. 4:12all the text. You can get rid of it if
111. 4:14you want. And then on the right side
112. 4:16here, once again, you can change where
113. 4:17it's oriented, change the font, change
114. 4:19the size, whatever you like. Let's just
115. 4:22leave it how it is for now. And then
116. 4:25press the check mark whenever you're
117. 4:27done editing it. And then for the actual
118. 4:29zone itself, it's similar to the wall
119. 4:31where you can go here to the fill and it
120. 4:33has a solid texture hatch and also an
121. 4:35image one. The wall didn't have the
122. 4:37image one. The image allows you to load
123. 4:40in any image you'd like or you can
124. 4:43change the opacity and you can even edit
125. 4:45the filters. And it's just really nice
126. 4:48for if your client has a very specific
127. 4:50material that they're working with, you
128. 4:52can take a picture of it and then put it
129. 4:53into rayon. Or once again, you can just
130. 4:56use the solid texture or hatch that
131. 4:58Rayon has. And if you want it, just like
132. 5:01that. This is just a nice simple temp
133. 5:04tile hatch. And then there you go. And
134. 5:06as you can see, it ends here. So then if
135. 5:08you want to load in another zone, now
136. 5:10it's all this stuff that's highlighted
137. 5:11in blue. And it's excluding that zone
138. 5:13that we already have.
139. 5:17And then once you have all of your zones
140. 5:18done, your drawing is going to start
141. 5:20looking something like this. And now we
142. 5:21sort of have a building starting to
143. 5:23form. We have all of our walls. We have
144. 5:25all of our doors and windows and balcony
145. 5:27openings. And now we're starting to have
146. 5:29these different textures on the floor
147. 5:31with different labels showing exactly
148. 5:33what they are. But it still kind of
149. 5:35feels a little empty. So now we can
150. 5:38start adding blocks and annotations to
151. 5:41sort of fill in the inside of the
152. 5:43interior layout and start making it feel
153. 5:46more like an apartment like what we're
154. 5:48going for. So, the really great thing
155. 5:51about Rayon is that here in the blocks
156. 5:53tab, it has a bunch of amazing different
157. 5:55blocks. They're 4K blocks, and like I
158. 5:57said earlier, they're in the top front
159. 5:59and side views, including all the
160. 6:01different symbol blocks. And you can
161. 6:03even create your own blocks from
162. 6:05scratch, or you can import existing DWG
163. 6:08blocks. So, if you have a bunch of
164. 6:10blocks that you have in AutoCAD and you
165. 6:12have a library full of all of your
166. 6:13AutoCAD blocks, you can even load those
167. 6:16into Rayon as well. Or if you're using a
168. 6:18Rayon block or an AutoCAD block and you
169. 6:21want to edit it, you can do that as
170. 6:22well. And once you make all of these
171. 6:25blocks, you can create your own block
172. 6:26library inside of Rayon and then share
173. 6:29it with your team. So that way,
174. 6:30everybody who's working on the project
175. 6:32can all have these custom blocks that
176. 6:34you've made. Now, here in the blocks
177. 6:37tab, we have the my blocks which are
178. 6:39already loaded into the project, or you
179. 6:41can click on the libraries and add in
180. 6:43all these other blocks as well. Now,
181. 6:46let's fill out this area right here just
182. 6:48to get you started. So, for instance, if
183. 6:51we search couch in the block library, it
184. 6:54will show us a bunch of different blocks
185. 6:56to choose from, and it'll keep loading
186. 6:58them, and you can just search for one
187. 7:00here.
188. 7:07Once you have all of your different
189. 7:08furniture loaded into the project and
190. 7:10all your different blocks, you'll start
191. 7:11looking like this. And now it's really
192. 7:13starting to come together. Now, always
193. 7:15make sure that while you're working
194. 7:16through the project, you're on the right
195. 7:18layer. Like for instance, if you click
196. 7:20on a wall, it should be on the walls
197. 7:22plan layer. If you click on a zone, it
198. 7:24should be on the zone layer. And if you
199. 7:26click on a piece of furniture, it should
200. 7:27be on the furniture layer. Create your
201. 7:29own custom ones. You can just go over
202. 7:30here to layers and then click on the add
203. 7:33layer tool and then name it whatever you
204. 7:34want. For our last and final step for
205. 7:36the drawing, we're going to be showing
206. 7:38you how to add annotations. As you see,
207. 7:40it already loaded some in for us when we
208. 7:42made our zones like this one and this
209. 7:44one. But if we want to add some
210. 7:46annotations based on like saying maybe
211. 7:48we want to say what the furniture is,
212. 7:50what material it's made out of, how long
213. 7:52something is, you can just go down here
214. 7:54once again. Then you can either click on
215. 7:56the text tool and just add in text
216. 7:58yourself or you can use the leader tool
217. 8:00to label something or the dimension tool
218. 8:02to show you how long you want a wall to
219. 8:03be or the arrow tool to like point out
220. 8:06an object and then say, "Oh, this object
221. 8:08is what it is." Let's say that for
222. 8:10instance you want to label that this
223. 8:12area here is like a dry bar and then you
224. 8:13want to label that this is actually a
225. 8:16cantal levering out from the island and
226. 8:18then these are stools beneath it. You
227. 8:20can click on the arrow tool and then
228. 8:22just drag it over. Have it point at
229. 8:25something like the chair and then go to
230. 8:27the text tool and then just label that
231. 8:30as let's say stool
232. 8:34with dry bar. And you can do it however
233. 8:38you want. Completely customize it. And
234. 8:40as you can see, there you go. And then
235. 8:41once again, that's on the right side
236. 8:43here. Change the text, change the font,
237. 8:45change its orientation, its rotation,
238. 8:47whatever you'd like.
239. 8:50And then once you have all those
240. 8:51annotations in, it'll look something
241. 8:53like this. As you can see, it's just an
242. 8:55arrow with a text and it just labels
243. 8:58what the thing is, what it's made out
244. 9:00of, how big it is. And then things like
245. 9:02this are like for if you have a door
246. 9:04plan page where you have all of your
247. 9:06doors, what materials they're made out
248. 9:08of, what size they are. You can just use
249. 9:09the circle tool and then the text tools
250. 9:11and then put those in as well. And that
251. 9:14is about it.
252. 9:18Now, let's say you're all done with your
253. 9:20work and you want to make it a
254. 9:21presentation like the one I was showing
255. 9:23at the beginning of the template and you
256. 9:25want to show off everything that you've
257. 9:26done for your team, but you're not
258. 9:28really sure if you're ready yet. Well,
259. 9:30first off, you're going to need to make
260. 9:31a page in order to do that. In order to
261. 9:34add a page, you can go up here to the
262. 9:35pages tab and then just simply click on
263. 9:37the plus sign and it'll open up this and
264. 9:40it'll add a page for you. Now, once you
265. 9:42click on the page, you can see here once
266. 9:44again on the right side, you can change
267. 9:45the scale, you can change the
268. 9:47orientation,
269. 9:48you can just whenever you have this
270. 9:50four-way arrows on your mouse, you can
271. 9:52just click and drag it around. You can
272. 9:54hold on the sides to make it longer or
273. 9:55shorter. So for our drawing here, let's
274. 9:58just move over a little bit, zoom out a
275. 10:00little bit, and then bring it over,
276. 10:04drag it out,
277. 10:06and then let's say you want a specific
278. 10:07page size and a specific scale, you can
279. 10:10just go here to format, and let's make
280. 10:12it a tabloid and 11 by 17. And then, as
281. 10:15you can see, it's a lot bigger now. So,
282. 10:17we might have to change our scale as
283. 10:19well to make it smaller. And a normal
284. 10:21scale is probably going to be about 316
285. 10:23or 1/8 or 332. Let's do a 1/8 scale. As
286. 10:27you can see, that made it way bigger.
287. 10:29So, let's do a 34 scale. Now, it's a
288. 10:33little bit too small. And we'll probably
289. 10:36be right in the warm spot at about a
290. 10:40little bit bigger. 1/4. That looks
291. 10:43great. So, here at the 1/4 scale, we now
292. 10:46have our page set up. Now, if you want
293. 10:49to see what it looks like before you
294. 10:51export it, here at the very top left or
295. 10:54here at the very top right, you can
296. 10:56either press preview or share. If you
297. 10:58press share, it'll create a presentation
298. 11:01that's published that anybody can see.
299. 11:03But if you just press preview, it'll
300. 11:05create a presentation that only you can
301. 11:07see. And then you can make it full
302. 11:10screen. If you have multiple pages, you
303. 11:12can now click through. You can even zoom
304. 11:14in and zoom out. And this is what it
305. 11:16will look like whenever it's being
306. 11:17presented to somebody. Now, if you don't
307. 11:20like it, you can always then press
308. 11:22escape and then press this back arrow,
309. 11:24go back to the model, and edit however
310. 11:25you want. And then once you're ready,
311. 11:27you can go up here to the share button
312. 11:29and then click share and then invite
313. 11:32people with their email. Or you can just
314. 11:34make it a presentation. And then once
315. 11:36you click this, all of your pages are
316. 11:38going to be published and everybody will
317. 11:40be able to see your presentation.
