0:00welcome to lesson 10 now that we have
0:01our drawings drawn in some details with
0:04blocks hatches and annotations I'm now
0:07going to show you how you can style your
0:08drawings to make them much more
0:10captivating engaging and also add a
0:13narrative a storyline to your projects
0:15by changing color texture and hatch
0:17Styles line weights and layers you can
0:19really start bringing your drawings to
0:21life and turning a black and white
0:22drawing into something that is really
0:24powerful and captivating stylizing your
0:26drawings will make them much more
0:28memorable and also consist when putting
0:30them together in a document this is
0:32where I believe that rayon becomes
0:34really powerful with its graphic
0:36capabilities being able to edit your
0:38drawings and stylize them to communicate
0:40them in the way that you want to
0:41communicate them so in this lesson I
0:43will demonstrate how you can turn this
0:45black and white drawing into three
0:47different style
0:50drawings so for the purposes of this
0:52lesson I've put together a composite
0:54drawing of the ground floor plan and
0:56East Elevation now the reason why I've
0:58done this is because it will make it
0:59easier when I'm talking through how to
1:01style your drawing to coordinate between
1:03the two views and to show you how you
1:06can implement the Styles in both
1:08elevation and floor plan and a composite
1:10drawing is really powerful in my opinion
1:12I think they're a really great way of
1:14showing the different levels of
1:16information that relate to one another
1:17on one page uh so we've combined them in
1:21this instance now the way I've combined
1:23this is fairly straightforward all you
1:24have to do is head over to your model
1:27highlight the components that you want
1:29to copy across right click click copy as
1:33export this is really important when
1:35you're copying across models come back
1:37over to your model right click and then
1:39do paste and that's how you copy items
1:43across now defining and building a
1:45graphic style that is represented
1:47throughout your drawings is really
1:48important graphic Styles really help to
1:51encapsulate the viewer to be able to
1:53visually enhance your drawings and also
1:56to provide some consistency throughout
1:58your drawings so for example examp we
2:00have a floor plan we have a section we
2:01have an elevation we have sight plans if
2:04there is a consistency in the graphic
2:05style throughout you can clearly see
2:07that there is a narrative there is a
2:10coordination between them and you can
2:12associate those drawings together which
2:13is really important when you're trying
2:15to sell your ideas now as I briefly
2:18touched upon in the previous lesson when
2:20we were discussing annotations I have a
2:22really strong graphic style in my
2:24drawings as an architectural designer
2:26and a feature of my drawings is that I
2:27really like strong contrasting drawings
2:30as you can see here on my Pinterest page
2:32is absolutely covered in black and white
2:35drawings with a punch of color so like I
2:38mentioned in the previous lesson I love
2:39to use a bit of red and as you can see
2:41here it just makes your drawings Pop I
2:44like high contrasting drawings with lots
2:47of detail lots of layering lots of
2:50annotations and as you can see the
2:52implementation of a graphic style in the
2:54drawings really help Define and
2:57communicate A Narrative of the project
2:59and communicate the story that is behind
3:01the drawings and the three graphic
3:03styles that I will show in this lesson
3:04will demonstrate how you can tell
3:06drastically different stories just
3:09through the use of color and line
3:11weights and we're going to demonstrate
3:13that by showing you all of the rayon
3:14styling tools to be able to bring your
3:17drawings to life so the first style that
3:19I'm going to create from this black and
3:22white base is going to be a blue style
3:25now over this right hand side here I've
3:26already defined a kind of color palette
3:29and now defining a color palette is
3:31really important when creating any set
3:33of drawings because it helps you define
3:36a level of consistency through out there
3:38is a level of coordination and of course
3:41by showing these kind of three shades of
3:43blue uh there is a style and there is a
3:46kind of layering and a hierarchy to the
3:48drawing that can be implemented so these
3:50are the three colors that I'm going to
3:51work with with this blue style and
3:54there's going to be a hierarchy and a
3:56layering that we're going to play with
3:58so although I've touched on many of
3:59these components already in this course
4:01I'm going to quickly do a reminder so
4:03there are four different types of styles
4:05there's a a text style an annotation
4:08style a shape style and a wall style so
4:11for example if we start with a wall
4:13style when you select your wall or when
4:16you start drawing a wall you will all
4:19instantly have a kind of
4:21default style activated on that wall and
4:25you can change of course the wall
4:26thickness you can change the wall fill
4:29and you have the option of choosing a
4:31solid fill which could be black for
4:33example and you can change the opacity
4:36you can also use the Color Picker which
4:38is really handy for example once you
4:40defined a color scheme you can select
4:44the color for example and then you can
4:46have the option of saving that style so
4:49we could call that blue wall you have
4:53the option of choosing a texture using
4:55the default library or heading over to
4:58the left and using rayon
5:00texture
5:02Library which you can choose from many
5:04different textures which you can
5:07transform by scaling up and down you can
5:10change the rotation and then finally you
5:13can use a hatch which you can also
5:15select you can change the opacity change
5:17the stroke once again scale it up and
5:20down rotate it offset it additionally
5:21with annotations once again you can
5:24change the color text Arrow Head Etc as
5:27demonstrated in the previous lesson like
5:29Rees with text you can change the font
5:33font size and finally with shapes you
5:37can once again change the fill hatch in
5:39addition to saving a style to an element
5:41you can also detach a style from an
5:43element so for example when we select
5:45this wall here you can come to the right
5:47hand side and click detach where you can
5:49then make this wall its own style and a
5:52really useful tool to point out also is
5:54if you select an element and you click
5:57pick style you can also select the item
6:01and it will match its style and if you
6:02head over to the left hand side and
6:04select the Styles tab you can see that I
6:07have all of the shape Styles wall Styles
6:09text Styles and annotation Styles saved
6:12in the left hand side and these save
6:14Styles become really useful when you
6:15want to change multiple items that have
6:18that style assigned to it for example if
6:20we change this wall style we can click
6:23three dots select edit we could change
6:26that wall now to red and all of those
6:28walls that have that style assigned to
6:32will also change now I hope that gives
6:33you a good summary of styles in rayon
6:36and now we're going to start
6:37implementing this blue style so the
6:40first thing that I'm going to do is I'm
6:41going to head over to the left hand side
6:42I'm going to create a new layer and I'm
6:45just going to give it a
6:47background and I'm going to ensure that
6:49that is going to be dropped to the back
6:51of the drawing and I'm going to draw a
6:52background using this light color here
6:55and we're going to simply draw a
6:57rectangle which is going to our backdrop
7:00for the drawing and then now this gives
7:03us a nice backdrop which we can then
7:05right click and lock into place so that
7:08layer is now locked so we can now start
7:11working into these walls and assigning
7:14these colors now the walls are going to
7:15be this heavy blue color to give that
7:18hierarchy we want the walls to have that
7:21structure and to indicate that weight
7:24and thickness in the drawings and so I'm
7:26going to come over to the left hand side
7:28we're going to select the wall going to
7:30change that
7:31to this dark blue color and we're also
7:36going to change the stroke to the same
7:39color to too so we've got a nice
7:42consistent wall wrapping round and this
7:45item here if we want to assign that
7:49style to this item you come over you
7:51click the quadrant button and we' select
7:54the
7:55dark blue item and we're going to do the
7:58same with the internal walls we're going
8:00to also make those the same color now
8:02currently the furniture is quite
8:04prominent in the drawings with their
8:05white background so I'm going to select
8:08the block and I'm going to change the
8:10Style by just
8:12removing the fill which just makes them
8:15a little bit more subtle in the drawing
8:16and aren't so prominent and then a
8:18really good little hack for you guys to
8:21be able to select multiple items that
8:24don't have a style currently assigned to
8:26them you can right click on an item you
8:28can select similar so you can I do same
8:30style layer type block we're going to do
8:32same type so we're going to select all
8:34the annotations then you can come over
8:36to the right hand side you can change
8:38that style now to that same blue and all
8:41of those items of that type will then
8:44change and then we're also going to save
8:45that style to Dimensions so then on the
8:48left hand side here in the annotations
8:51style tool bar it will appear and we're
8:54also going to edit that style just to
8:56make it a bit more subtle so we're going
8:59to drop the the opacity down to 50% now
9:01this is going to be a process of
9:03changing all of the styles to the same
9:05blue and I'm just going to do this as we
9:09go along here to change all of the
9:11Styles and then the same with all of the
9:14text annotations so selecting all of the
9:16text changing all of those to blue and
9:18then Shifting the attention slightly to
9:20the elevation you can do the same with
9:22the hatches these are currently a little
9:24bit too heavy so we're going to change
9:26those hatches to the same blue once
9:28again and we're going to drop the
9:29opacity down to 50% just to make them a
9:31bit
9:32softer uh and then you can also save
9:35that style so we're going to save that
9:37as Stone hatch and then we can select
9:40multiple items and then change that by
9:44clicking the quadrant button and the
9:46same in the background here we've added
9:48some trees which we've imported we're
9:50going to change those to Blue so
9:51everything is going to be the same blue
9:53color and as you can see here this is
9:55where the layering and the opacity works
9:57really well where you have two item
9:59items that overlapping one another you
10:01get that nice layered look in the
10:02drawing it gives the drawing a bit depth
10:05and then a really useful tool to um make
10:08note of is that you can also change the
10:11tiling of your hatch so if you head down
10:14to the right hand corner here you can
10:15change the rotation you can change the
10:17offset but you can also click into the
10:20hatch and change the hatch so that it is
10:24independent to any style so even if you
10:27have a style assigned to it you can
10:28rotate that you can move it and it won't
10:31change the rout now with a bit of work
10:33you'll arrive at something like this
10:34where you can see pretty much everything
10:35has been assigned with the blue we now
10:37have a bit of a hierarchy with some of
10:40the items dropping a little bit further
10:41in the background with the opacity and
10:43we now have quite a soft drawing using
10:47um these kind of pastel Blues it's a
10:49little bit softer than the harsh black
10:51and white with the red tone but I think
10:53it's a really nice subtle touch the
10:54colors work really well and it has that
10:57nice and soft feel to the drawing so
10:59this is style number one now the next
11:01style is going to be this rendered SL
11:03textured style so this is a really
11:05useful way of showing a realistic
11:08representation of your drawings uh
11:11adding actual textures to indicate floor
11:14finishes to indicate a realistic
11:17environment in uh a carpet for example
11:21uh the tiling throughout the kitchen
11:23living and dining space we've got some
11:25concrete floor for the garage the patio
11:27area and then when we go into the
11:29elevation you can see that we've applied
11:31a color to the stone we've got green
11:34trees and this isn't as of a a kind of
11:38aesthetic drawing but more
11:41representative of the real life scenario
11:43and you can do this by once again
11:45selecting the item changing these styles
11:48to whatever texture you feel is
11:51appropriate for the space that you are
11:53applying it to uh for example we could
11:56even go into textures on this right hand
11:59side and we could change this to a kind
12:02of stove Stone Paving for example uh
12:05which would be extremely realistic and
12:08you can then change the position of this
12:11tiling by activating the tiling at the
12:15bottom right corner you can then scale
12:19this texture up and down once again as
12:22previously shown so we've got some
12:23really kind of big pieces of stone but
12:26in principle this is another example of
12:28how you can begin to use rounds hatches
12:30and textures to indicate a realistic
12:33environment and in this drawing we've
12:35also added some Shadow which is simply
12:37drawn by using the polyline drawing
12:40around the items as indicated in the
12:42interior model uh interior lesson and
12:46then we can change a 10% Shadow just to
12:49make the drawings have a bit of depth
12:52and the final style is this inverted
12:54style which is my personal favorite once
12:56again going through the process of
12:58changing the stles in the left hand side
13:01making everything white with a blue
13:03background locked in the background and
13:06the drawings pop it gives it that kind
13:10of blueprint drawing effect um it gives
13:13it the drawings a quality a line quality
13:16that I think is really powerful and
13:18makes them pop it's quite intriguing and
13:20you want to read more into the drawings
13:22and it shows a level of detail that
13:24might not necessarily be shown on a
13:26realistic style for example and like
13:29requires in elevation you get a really
13:31nice strong graphic for example with
13:33these Reflections in the windows the
13:35hatches really begin to pop you get a
13:37nice layered look in the background with
13:40the white annotations and I just think
13:42an inverted drawing just looks really
13:45powerful and it's my personal favorite I
13:47tend to do inverted drawings a lot and
13:50it's a really great way of just adding a
13:52level of detail to your drawings without
13:54really doing much just by simply
13:56changing it with a black background or a
13:58dark blue in this instance it makes your
14:01drawings really pop and have that level
14:03of detail and Intrigue and those are the
14:06three graphic styles that I wanted to
14:07indicate in this lesson as you can see
14:10there is a vast range of options with
14:13hatches with textures with fill colors
14:16uh and the capabilities of rayon with
14:18their styling tools is really powerful
14:20to start implementing your own graphic
14:22style and building a narrative around
14:24your drawings
