0:00Hi everyone. Today we're going to look
0:01at how to draw Mill Workshop drawings.
0:04Let's walk through a project together to
0:05show you how to speed up the process
0:07using Rayon design templates and styles.
0:10You can grab this template for free
0:12through the link in our description. And
0:14if you're new to Rayon, you can also
0:15find a 10-minute introduction video now
0:18below. Let's get started and go to a
0:21browser and type in rayon.design design
0:24where you can a free account or simply
0:27sign
0:28in. After signing in from the Rayon
0:31dashboard, you can choose one of the
0:32templates that are pre-made by the Rayon
0:35team or we can just go and create a new
0:38model, which we will do in our
0:43case. Perfect. And before we start
0:45drawing, I'm going to go to the settings
0:47on the right hand side and change the
0:49length units to millimeters. As you're
0:52going to be working with details, this
0:54is what I'm going for. Next, we're going
0:58to go back to the
0:59dashboard and you can go to templates
1:02and choose uh a template for mill works.
1:04Go and select this kitchen cab
1:12detail. Great. Here is a kitchen
1:14mailwork template and it already
1:16includes great hatches, cabinetry,
1:18faucets, and other wonderful objects.
1:20Let's start by selecting it
1:22all, right click and copy as export. And
1:26then let's head back to our new model.
1:29We just right click and paste in place.
1:33And you can shift Z to automatically
1:35zoom in. So this going to be the base
1:38for base template for our kitchen
1:41drawings. We're going to start by plan,
1:44elevation, and then a section. Let's
1:46start
1:48with with this kitchen countertop. And
1:51we're going to also include it elevation
1:54right away here. So, kind of give us a
1:56guide. And also, we want to
1:59extend the countertop.
2:02And I'm going to place it just next to
2:04it here. Also, I'm going to go to the
2:07bottom bar and go to guide cuz I want to
2:10create the guide. And I'm going to
2:12change it to a vertical. Let's create a
2:14guideline here. And also here. It'll be
2:17easier to draw. And we can add more
2:19guidelines as we go. Now we can just
2:21zoom in. Double click to edit
2:24the the block. We can move this away.
2:27Click on it. Select the lines. And you
2:30just drag it to this corner. Oh, here.
2:36Fix this. No. Now it's perfectly
2:38aligned. Grab this edge and just drag it
2:41for it to fit. Perfect. Now I'm done. As
2:45simple as that. And we can also create
2:48another guide just in the middle
2:53here. As what I'm going to do now put a
2:56rectangle here which will be
2:59representation of this cupboard.
3:02I can just go
3:05and exempute
3:11this. That's that. We can maybe
3:15even pull it out a little bit. And also
3:18what we're going to do is we're going to
3:21create a handle which we could see from
3:24the top. 20
3:29mm. Yep. Perfect. And you can even go
3:33and offset this inwards like maybe 30
3:38mm. Perfect. Yes. Just like that. Just
3:41to create
3:42some space on the
3:45edges. Perfect. And to be honest, we can
3:47even extend it a little
3:52bit. Yes. Typically copper would be
3:55around say 60 by by 65
3:59um cm. It's
4:03perfect. Going to go and actually create
4:05a new style. Take this and make it a
4:09bit lighter. Almost too light. This is
4:13perfect. And just going to go and save
4:15style as garage line one. Excellent.
4:21Sounds like we're good. And also what
4:23I'm going to do is as we're going to
4:24have a cupboard on above the the
4:26counterc I'm also going to draw a
4:28rectangle with a dashed line. You
4:31typically what you draw in dashed line
4:32it indicates that it is uh something
4:36above above the countertop in this
4:41case. Typically coverage would be like
4:44360 mm from the wall. And what we going
4:48to do is let's go and find under these
4:50four dots if we can find a dashed
4:55line. Here it is. But what we're going
4:58to do is we're going to maybe edit this
4:59dash line and give it lighter
5:04tone. Oops. This is not going to look
5:06like it's
5:08dashed. And it's quick stroke. And under
5:13the dashed, we can even increase the
5:16spacing between the lines. Yeah, this
5:20looks
5:23perfect. So now we have cupboards above.
5:26And what we're going to do next, we're
5:27going to add a wall. Let's go to wall
5:30tool and let's change it to two. It's
5:34going to be a 200 mm thick wall. And we
5:37can make it dark.
5:40And the the stroke would be just simply
5:43black. And let's go and save it. Let's
5:47edit style because we're going to rename
5:48it uh wall style
5:52one. And we're going to make sure
5:55it's controlled from the bottom upwards.
5:59Yeah, perfect. So, what I'm going to do
6:01is
6:06create a wall oblique
6:09size. Yeah, that's looking good. And
6:11also because the wall continues, I'm
6:13going to add brake lines from the
6:17template here. You just drag one, hold
6:20alt, and drag it out. And basically
6:22brake
6:24line is
6:26uh like a zigzag or jackard line that
6:28cuts through a continuous
6:32object. And in our case, it's just going
6:35through the wall showing that it's
6:37continuous. And we're just going to flip
6:39it
6:42vertically and vertically and then as
6:44well
6:45horizontally. Yeah. Great. Also, let's
6:50go and include a plan of a
6:52window. In our template, there's only a
6:55section and an elevation. So, what we
6:57can do is go to blocks, go to the
7:00library, and type
7:05window. Block family. In block families,
7:08usually you can find elevation sections
7:10and plan windows. And we're just going
7:12to take one in
7:16here. Okay. What I want to do is first
7:18double check so it's kind of fits
7:20perfectly in the same size. So we have a
7:22consistent across the bottom and we can
7:24just take it and drag it in here and it
7:28automatically beautifully snaps into
7:31into place. Also we can add a line here
7:35that represents that the wall is
7:39continuous. And we can add give it a
7:42style and we just give it like a light.
7:46gray tone. Yep, it's it's looking great.
7:50Let me go and add the final details.
7:52Let's start with these section cuts cuz
7:54we're going to be adding section. Let me
7:58just copy it here and turn
8:01it right because we will cut it just
8:05over the sink and we're going to be
8:08looking this direction as the arrows
8:10indicate.
8:12Okay. Twice
8:15it just like this. Yeah, this is
8:18perfect. We can even take this
8:21and move it up a little bit. There's a
8:26space. Take these and copy another one
8:30and right click to unblock it. And we'll
8:33double click on A and change it to B.
8:37So, it's going to be section BB. That
8:40would be running through
8:43the cupboard itself. This
8:47time, let's add
8:50it. It's called out. And we can
8:55place can place label right under the
8:58kitchen. We can double click on it and
9:01rename it. We can call it
9:03flat. Yeah, this is perfect. Okay, let's
9:08move on with the next one. And we're
9:09going to start by drawing a foundation
9:13slab. Uh we're going to go to
9:17rectangle. And we're going to draw it
9:19again the same roughly the same size as
9:22we did
9:24before. Perfect. And let's just drag it
9:27here in the
9:30middle. And right we can go to style and
9:34let's add it. one of the styles and this
9:37copy rate is perfect. And also we can
9:41just take these brake lines and we drag
9:45them up and copy them to indicate again
9:47once again the the floor is continuous.
9:54Next, we will add a splashback if you're
9:57in the UK or a backsplash if you're in
10:00the
10:01US. It's just
10:03this kind of protection from the water
10:07and and cooking in general,
10:10right? We will make it. Yeah, this is
10:15good. Now, it's actually a good bit time
10:17to place the window. If we click
10:20CC, you just stick the window and place
10:23it perfectly here as it nicely snaps.
10:26And for next part, I want to draw the a
10:30wall and some cupboards on the
10:34top. What I'm going to do is
10:38create some
10:40dimensions. Then I'm going to go to
10:42annotation line.
10:44The standard clearance between
10:46countertop and upper cabinet is roughly
10:49around 500 mm, but we will give it 700
10:53as an extra clearance for our imaginary
10:56uh stove
11:00top. And we're going to do another one
11:03which
11:04is or
11:07print. Yeah, perfect. Let's select the
11:11rectangle tool. And now with these
11:12dimension guidelines in place, we can
11:15draw the painted wall and upper
11:19cabinetries. Yeah,
11:25perfect. Now we bring these for now. We
11:29don't need them
11:29[Music]
11:32anymore. Also, we can add a lime here.
11:36Create a division between these two
11:37coverates.
11:39We can go ahead and maybe add some hatch
11:41to the splashback. We'll go replace all
11:45and try to
11:48find this. Perfect. We're going to copy
11:52it and paste it in place. And then we're
11:55going to add it another hatch which is
11:58the stony
12:01Toronto. Perfect. It's looking
12:03beautiful. Go and add the hatch this one
12:06as well. And we would need something
12:09like a paint like a a wooden wooden
12:12paint. It's looking great. Beautiful.
12:15And next we're going to add a wooden
12:18texture here. Wood. Yeah. Perfect. And
12:22let's copy these and paste them again as
12:27copy in place. So to add like a more of
12:30a natural wooden texture, wooden hatch.
12:34Yes. Fantastic. Oops.
12:37We can press the go
12:39to template and also add these
12:45[Music]
12:47sockets here in the
12:51corner
12:53double. Yeah, I think it's looking
12:57great. Before we animate this slab, let
13:01me add
13:03um these doors swing in the
13:06indicators which are typically
13:10uh represented as these angled lines
13:13extending from the the hinge side of the
13:18cabinet. And we can also draw them here
13:21on the top here. Perfect. And let's do
13:25that
13:26again here and here. Perfect. So we know
13:30as you can see here as well send these
13:32little the hinges on the top and on the
13:35right hand side let's also create more
13:39detailing into
13:40the slab and what we're going to do is
13:43going to create rectangle tool to create
13:46a sort of a floor
13:50finish. Yeah, perfect.
13:55And we're going to go and
13:58add floor tiles. Perfect. We can
14:02actually go and CC copy it. And we can
14:07do the same with this. We can extend it
14:09all the way to the to the end. And we're
14:13going to give it a
14:15beton kind of concrete texture, which
14:19would
14:19be no, not this one for saving.
14:22too harsh. Let's give it some kind of
14:25like a
14:26lighter concrete
14:28concrete. Yes,
14:31perfect. We'll place also
14:35[Music]
14:37layer for these and let's put them into
14:40default. I'll also go to a default layer
14:43and we can actually change this to the
14:47this kind of harsher concrete or we
14:50would call it a screed. It's quite
14:52typical to have like a concrete screen
14:54running above the the concrete slab but
14:58where you would put those
15:02maybe floor heating. But yeah, this is
15:06looking great. Let's move on to the
15:09section. And we can start start out by
15:11just taking
15:13these lines and copying it over here.
15:17Actually, do not. Oh, we can perhaps
15:20leave it here. Get rid of these. So,
15:23what I'm going to do is going to copy
15:24the lamp
15:27and paste it here. I'm going to loop it
15:31as we're going to use it as a guide. And
15:34then just turn it
15:38and
15:4190°.
15:50Perfect. We can actually go
15:53to guide and create another one here.
15:57Another one here. And roughly here.
16:02Yeah, perfect. Let me take the
16:05cupboard CC and just bring it into the
16:09into the join. Perfect. I also have that
16:12sticker. While I'm here, might as well
16:15grab a
16:17tap.
16:19And also grab the
16:22[Music]
16:27sink. Change this to be
16:31something. Perfect. We'll tweak it in a
16:34second. But do we need anything else
16:36from this side? No, this is perfect.
16:39What we can do now is create a
16:40guidelines of
16:43horizontally
16:44guides.
16:51O let me change there to annotation. So
16:54it's it's a ball.
17:08And one last one here.
17:14Perfect. You can go on and you can start
17:18with a splashback as it will give it the
17:20height of the the wall before the
17:22window. Go
17:25here here to 20. Yep. Perfect.
17:29And also I'm going to draw with a pong
17:31line. I'm going to draw a side
17:36splash. Okay. Next, let's draw the
17:41wall. Let's start with go to rectangle
17:45tool. I'm going to change it to
17:51default. Draw here perhaps a chipsome
17:54board which will be
17:5620. Okay. crit concrete slab should be
18:01around 85 mm. Then we can create a
18:06paper
18:08barrier and finally we would just add
18:11here on a layer for the insulation.
18:15Well, typically you would also
18:17include a couple more layers a drainage
18:20cy and a brick or stone facade.
18:26But this is okay for now. Let me go
18:31select the concrete wall. Let's go and
18:34change
18:35the gray. I'm going to copy
18:39it and paste it in place and give it
18:43another layer of this concrete texture.
18:48Yes, perfect. And to get the insulation
18:53texture for a hatch, we're going to draw
18:55just a simple straight
18:59line and go to style and type in
19:03insulation. Perfect. And voila. As
19:06simple as that. Because this already was
19:09part of the template, so we did not need
19:11to go and create it or search for it.
19:14What I'm going to do now is draw like a
19:17small finish on the wall as well. I
19:20don't know what to just do it
19:32high. Perfect.
19:35And you know what? I would like it to be
19:38like almost like a
19:41torato tile finish.
19:45And and this time I can actually add a
19:49fill. Go to texture and under the
19:53patterns we can select the Russo.
19:57Perfect. That looks great.
20:01Next
20:12up. Next up, we can actually bring in
20:15the window from our
20:18template. We're going to copy it. We're
20:21going to go align it with
20:23this. And I'm just going to drag it to
20:27the top.
20:34Perfect. And what we can do now is
20:37actually just show finish to the from
20:40this
20:45point. We can just give it this fill
20:50hatch in direction. Beautiful. So, I'm
20:54going to take these layers that we just
20:56created and
20:58copy C and put it here. Perfect. And
21:04what we're going to do is we're just
21:05going to shrink it to match the height
21:07of the of the
21:11wall. Next, what we can do, which would
21:14be fantastic, we're going to just steal
21:17this hatch from the elevation CC. Copy
21:21it and go here.
21:23in and fix it here. And what we're going
21:25to do is we're going to delete these. We
21:27do not need them. And we're just going
21:30to drag it and resize it from the edges.
21:33And this way we have saved ourselves
21:36some time in creating these covers
21:42as and we have already done that here.
21:45Yeah, perfect. It's starting to look
21:50great. Next is what I can do next is get
21:53rid of some of these
21:55guidelines. And I want to draw like some
21:58straight lines
22:00here just
22:03to to indicate the continuation of the
22:06of the four. And let me just get rid of
22:09these. We do not need them
22:11anymore. And perfect.
22:15Also, let me just get rid of this.
22:25I'll edit this and I'm going to uncip it
22:28and we're just going to simply get rid
22:30of the things because this cupboard is
22:32completely different
22:34[Music]
22:49And let's rearrange it a little
22:58bit. Resize this as
23:01well. The
23:03support for the side.
23:07Okay. Yeah, it's extra support that. And
23:11it's not to delete these doors cuz
23:13they're not the same. Just double click
23:15on it of these points and just drag to
23:20to the
23:24bottom. So I'll just copy this and
23:28create a a shell brow for around 20 cm
23:32above. And let's maybe align it to that
23:35to the sink and giving a little bit more
23:39space. Yeah, perfect.
23:42[Music]
23:44So, what I'm going to do next is kind of
23:46create a
23:47faucet. This faucet
23:49needs faucet needs a pipe. Go to shapes
23:54panel underneath and it's like a curve
23:56tool. And we're just going to draw the
23:58faucet pipe just like
24:02this. Perfect. And I'm going to go and
24:05offset it.
24:08Uh, I think this is this is perfect.
24:12just an indication that it is connected
24:14attached to some water source as well.
24:17And I think it is looking pretty great.
24:21Uh and the next step what we can
24:24do is start adding some annotations. I'm
24:28going to take this and copy here and
24:33also do the
24:35same over here.
24:39And we're going to rename this one. This
24:42was section 88. You're going to go and
24:44re name it as such as
24:46well.
24:48Section
24:52A. And this
25:01is embarrassing. Please do not cop me
25:03over. Click exploded
25:07and perfect. Now it looks
25:11better.
25:14And
25:18scale text. What we're going to do is
25:20we're going to annotate the drawing. So
25:24we're going to take an
25:28arrow. Going to create it here.
25:33And we going to change the annotation
25:37layer and change it to
25:40rounded something that is a little bit
25:43more elegant. You can extend it a little
25:45bit and add some text annotation here as
25:50well. You're going to you're going to
25:52call it upper
25:55cabinet. And I'm just going to link it
25:57to the bottom. And honestly, we can also
26:01make
26:02it much
26:05smaller. Maybe we're going to do
26:1070. Now we can select annotation text
26:14and arrow and and hold alt and duplicate
26:17it five more times.
26:40Non ring then
26:42also on
26:44pull
26:46down set.
26:53Go
26:59files
27:07work and
27:09lastly
27:11adjustable
27:14shop. Perfect. I'm going to make this
27:18text a little bit smaller. I think
27:21perhaps the
27:23V60 and pull it up a little bit and
27:26extract
27:30these. Yes, much better just to give it
27:33some space to
27:35read. Now what we're going to get into
27:38is
27:41dimensions. Luckily we already have in
27:44template a beautiful set of dimension
27:46styles. Now we can see copy defa def
27:50default dimensions. Okay, perfect. So
27:53what we're going to do is let's start
27:55with this with this section. Go to
27:58dimensions and
28:01annotations replace all and we're going
28:03to copy
28:05this
28:07style. A good rule of thumb that mention
28:10the important edges and not just
28:12decorative ones. and and we can avoid
28:14overloading our section with redundant
28:17dimensions. We want this to stay clean
28:19and readable. And dimensions are more
28:22than just numbers. These are all tied to
28:25ergonomics and standard kitchen
28:27guidelines. For instance, a countertop
28:30are typically set around 900 mm or or 36
28:35in high, which is comfortable for most
28:38tasks.
