0:00now that we have a show in lesson 8
0:02we're going to explore the extensive
0:04rayon block texture and hatch library in
0:07order to add detail to our drawings is
0:09start illustrating the layouts these
0:11tools will allow us to add details
0:13materiality and context to our drawings
0:15whether in plan section and elevation
0:17using rayon blocks is a really easy and
0:19simple way just to drop items into your
0:21drawings to help you start visualizing
0:24and illustrating layouts and activity
0:27within the space by the end of this
0:28lesson you will know exactly where to
0:30find all of these items to begin
0:32populating your drawings how to import
0:35blocks how to create blocks how to edit
0:37blocks and also how to start adding
0:39hatches textures editing scaling
0:43transforming textures and hatches in
0:45order to start bringing your drawings to
0:47life and adding that required level of
0:53detail in the last lesson I gave you a
0:55bit of a teaser into blocks and the
0:57block library now in this lesson we
1:00going to go into much more detail and
1:01really start to fill out the drawings
1:04populate the drawings with blocks such
1:06as Vehicles Furniture people plants
1:10bathroom accessories bedroom layouts
1:14pretty much anything that you could
1:15think of rayon has it in a block form
1:18and I'm also going to show you how you
1:19can create your own blocks U by
1:21importing your own DWG for example and
1:23turning that into a block or actually um
1:26kind of elaborating further on my
1:27previous lesson And discussing how to
1:29create your own blocks by drawing them
1:31yourself um you can also edit blocks um
1:34you can pretty much do anything with the
1:36blocks which is really really useful um
1:39to be able to start populating the
1:40drawings so once again I'm going to head
1:41over to the left hand side and select
1:44the blocks Tab and as you can see you've
1:47got my blocks and Library so any blocks
1:50that you import into your uh canvas it
1:53will appear on my blocks and the library
1:56of blocks that are available in rayon
1:58are down here so as I've mentioned
2:00there's about 4,000 different blocks and
2:03you can see here you've got animals
2:05you've got accessories you've got
2:07bathroom accessories you've got hot tubs
2:10and jacuzzi you've got beds you've got
2:12bedroom layouts which is also a really
2:14interesting feature so you can actually
2:16import an entire bedroom layout as a
2:19block as you can see here you've got uh
2:23carpets chairs coffee tables dining room
2:26tables elevators gym equipment kitchen
2:29equipment lach
2:30La anything you can think of rayon has
2:34it it has 691 people uh and I really
2:37like the people in rayon and also the
2:39plants really add a nice touch to the
2:42drawings as well so as you can tell the
2:44block library is vast and it's a really
2:47great uh asset for you to really start
2:50populating your drawings and bringing
2:51them to life now we're going to start at
2:54this top right hand corner here where we
2:56have this potential kitchen area utility
2:58cupboard and toy toet so I'm going to
3:00head down into the uh kitchen layout so
3:04as you can see you can actually import
3:06an entire kitchen layout which is really
3:07useful and once again to expand on my
3:10point in the previous lesson every item
3:13that has a purple tag also has
3:15alternative views so they have plans
3:17sections and elevations for example this
3:20dishwasher here if you select the purple
3:22tag you can see that it's also got an
3:24elevation member a section member and a
3:27plan member so when you're working
3:29between
3:30section plan elevation it's really
3:33useful to know that you have these
3:34alternative views uh to your access and
3:37they're all linked together in the
3:39instance so for example you could import
3:41a kitchen layout like so a two row
3:46kitchen and we could drop that into
3:48place but this isn't quite the
3:49configuration that we're going for I
3:52think the kind of kitchen we want to
3:54explore is probably a back wall here of
3:58um maybe a sink and some kind of
4:02cupboard space also a back layer here of
4:05cupboard space so it's almost kind of
4:08built into the
4:10wall and then potentially an Island
4:12located in the middle so let's find some
4:16casew work so if we scroll down we do
4:19maybe a casew work M with door we're
4:22going to drag it and drop it into the
4:25model and as you can see It'll arve like
4:28so and I'm going to drop that into
4:31place which is nice and ideal so I drew
4:34this with a 600 mil deep uh which is a
4:38kind of typical depth of a uh cupboard
4:43which you can see it snaps in like
4:46so and just to check if you wanted to
4:48check any dimensions of your drawings um
4:50and I'll go into more detail about
4:52annotating your drawings but as a quick
4:53rule of thumb you can head down to the
4:55dimensions tool at the bottom select it
4:58select one
5:00item drag select the other item and as
5:03you can see here yeah we've got a 600
5:05mil um kind of surface now we can copy
5:09and paste this along by holding alt
5:11dragging it across holding shift so it
5:13copies in a straight line and we'll do
5:15the same down this side so holding o alt
5:18hovering over the corner rotating it 90°
5:21by holding
5:22shift and then we'll also drop these in
5:26here so now we have a bit of storage and
5:28we're creating this space in the middle
5:30here for a nice big breakfast bar or
5:34something so we're going to head down
5:36here now and we're going to try and find
5:38a sink maybe we'll drop in this double
5:43sink got a nice generous
5:45sink the covered space underneath and
5:48then now we're going to draw a breakfast
5:50bar so I'm going to draw this by using
5:52the rectangle
5:53Tool uh I'm going to make sure that it's
5:57roughly probably about 12 00
6:01from the casing 2.5 width and 1.5 height
6:07now I'm also going to add a fill to this
6:09because we're going to add some casing
6:11work so let's make that fill white and
6:14then we'll also make that probably a
6:17lighter gray and maybe do
6:210.1 like so then we could add a
6:23induction hob induction cooker
6:29and we'll probably have that fairly
6:31Central and then let's add some stalls
6:35we got some high
6:38stalls and maybe we could even just
6:41rotate them slightly to make it look
6:43like there's been some movement of some
6:46sort so it doesn't look so rigid and as
6:48you can see this uh fill is sat below
6:53the chairs and we ideally want it to be
6:56um above because you want to be able to
6:58see that the uh the stor are underneath
7:00the breakfast bar so what you can do is
7:01you can select the Stalls you can either
7:04then head over to the layers and drop
7:06them below the rectangle that I've drawn
7:09like so or you can right click and you
7:12can do arrange and descend backwards and
7:15then you can CLI clicking send backwards
7:16until it is behind the layer now the
7:19kitchen is coming together um and this
7:23probably block we could potentially
7:26change because it's got quite a solid
7:28fill around the The Edge which doesn't
7:30quite match the graphics so far of the
7:32drawing so we could select the block we
7:34could have it to the right hand side as
7:35you can see it's got Styles assigned to
7:38the block we could edit the style border
7:40and fill to maybe a gray that matches
7:47the breakfast bar we can then change the
7:50black lines to the same gray and as you
7:53can see that now changes the color which
7:57just Blends in a little bit better now
7:59I'm going to do the same for the utility
8:00room I'm going to drop these in rotate
8:03them holding shift dropping them into
8:05the corner but what you'll see is that
8:07in this instance we have two corner
8:09pieces which as you can tell these
8:12square units are just going to look a
8:15bit weird being sat in the corner it's
8:17not going to quite work so this is where
8:19you can start editing the blocks and
8:21start working into them and making them
8:23fit your layouts and an important thing
8:26to note at this point before we start
8:27editing this block is that when you have
8:30a block and you have multiple instances
8:32of that block in your canvas when you
8:34start editing the block it'll also edit
8:37all the other instances in your model so
8:39you want to make sure that you before
8:41you start editing a block make sure you
8:43duplicate it create a new essentially
8:46creating a new type of that block so
8:49that you're not going to change all of
8:51the other items that you have so what
8:52I'm going to do is I'm going to click my
8:54block I'm going to head down to the
8:56bottom and I'm going to unblock it so
8:58this item is is no longer a block so
9:00what I'm going to do is drop this item
9:02down into this corner and I want to make
9:04this corner piece essentially to follow
9:07the language of this room so we've got a
9:09bit of an awkward kink in this location
9:11so what I'm going to do is highlight
9:12over uh the item double click into it
9:16and you can see that you get these kind
9:17of transform points you get these kind
9:20of points that you can start pushing and
9:22pulling and drag in and what I'm going
9:25to do is I'm going to select one of the
9:27points I'm going to drag it into the
9:29corner
9:30and I'm going to do the same with this
9:31one make sure that it's parallel and
9:34what you'll see is because this is a
9:36shape it will have this point where you
9:38can kind of create a curve but I'm going
9:40to drag this in so it aligns so that we
9:43then have a straight
9:44line and then as you can see I now have
9:47an item that has been edited to my
9:51layouts and then you can select that
9:53item and all of the components you can
9:56right click and you can select block so
9:59now you created a block out of that item
10:01that you've edited additionally to
10:03editing blocks in the rayon library and
10:06also creating your own blocks such as
10:08the example that I showed in the
10:10previous lesson you can also import your
10:12own blocks so I'm going to very quickly
10:14show you how you can do that so if you
10:15head over to the top left corner click
10:18the three um lines uh to the menu tab
10:22come down to import and we'll do DWG now
10:25I have an item here called Lamp which is
10:28going to be a lamp that I'm going into
10:30import and once again very similarly
10:32early on in the um other modules you'll
10:35have to select the scales so I believe
10:37that's about 1 M we then select that we
10:41click
10:43import you'll then get the option of
10:45picking the insertion point select into
10:48the canvas and we have the DWG imported
10:52and this DWG is automatically recognized
10:55as a block and that block here is in the
10:58library so you can drag that in you can
11:01then start populating your drawing with
11:03the same lamp now when you want to start
11:05finding something more specific in the
11:07block Library you can head over to the
11:08top left corner type the search Tab and
11:12we could do maybe
11:15sofa uh we'll do all these different
11:18kinds of sofas a lot lot to choose from
11:21sometimes it's a bit overwhelming like
11:23so which will drop
11:28in and we could potentially create a
11:30kind of space here that is for a living
11:33area we maybe want to mirror that so
11:35we're going to come down to the mirror
11:38Tab and we're going to draw the axis
11:41that we want the item to be mirrored
11:43from so we now have that there we could
11:46potentially have a
11:49carpet and we'll rotate that once again
11:53make sure that we're snapping to the
11:54middle we can maybe add a coffee table
12:00make sure that's
12:02Central and we're now starting to have a
12:04bit of a living room area and maybe a TV
12:06we could drop along this wall here type
12:09in
12:10TV and potentially a wallmounted TV
12:14would be pretty nice so we can drop that
12:18in now moving into the dining room we
12:20could add a dining room table some of
12:23these blocks are super elaborate as you
12:25can see if you drop that in look at all
12:27the detail that comes with that you've
12:28got a car pit you've got the flowers and
12:31everything it's pretty impressive saves
12:33you a lot of time that's for sure when
12:34you when you're creating your drawings
12:36and I'm going to do a
12:38similar process of kind of pretending
12:42that there's a bit of movement so maybe
12:44rotate this and then once again you want
12:46to make sure that the table is on top of
12:48the layer so we want to drag that up
12:51above the crosshatch side
12:54seats so that it's above we're probably
12:58needing this up there's probably a bit
12:59too much activity going on here now this
13:01is a long process of populating your
13:04drawings adding people in plan uh you've
13:08got lots of different types of people
13:10people doing activities playing tennis
13:12office person walking people uh doing
13:15all kinds of different sports you got
13:18loads of different options you've also
13:20got Vehicles which I think are also a
13:23nice one uh to add and with some time
13:27working into the floor plans you can
13:29arrive at something like this where we
13:32have enough information to show a level
13:35of activity and the use of the space but
13:37also not overwhelming the drawing with
13:40too much too many blocks because as you
13:42can imagine when you have so many
13:44options of blocks available it's very
13:46easy to absolutely go crazy in your
13:48floor plans for me I like to find a nice
13:50balance I don't like to overwhelm my
13:52plans too much because then it just
13:54becomes quite distracting when you're
13:55looking at the floor plan but as you can
13:57see here we have some clear
13:59zones identified and that's followed
14:02through from our initial zoning you have
14:05this arrival point with the stair we now
14:07have a kind of bookshelf here which is a
14:09bit of a feature of this Atrium space we
14:12have a nice toilet with a maybe cloak
14:14cupboard uh we have a kitchen with a
14:17utility cupboard a utility room out the
14:19back we now got a dining room um with a
14:23fireplace in the middle so we got some
14:25logs in there uh We've now got a living
14:27room with a TV uh with these views over
14:30the landscape with some outdoor seating
14:32outdoor dining we have some cars in the
14:34garage so we've made sure to put a
14:36little sports car in there this looks
14:37like a Ferrari and when we go to the
14:40Upper Floor we have the master bedroom
14:43with a nice kind of seating area uh a
14:45guy walking to show some activity a
14:47walk-in wardrobe dresser type space a
14:50nice walk-in shower uh so it's kind a
14:53bit more of a wet room uh we've got this
14:55seating area with someone sat having a
14:58read of from the bookshelf um we've got
15:00this nice Atrium space with glass
15:02ballustrade in uh we've got this smaller
15:05bedroom with a single bed and a shared
15:07bathroom and a bedroom at the end here
15:11so you can see that when you're adding
15:13this level of detail to your floor plans
15:15it really brings the drawings to life
15:17and it shows how these spaces are going
15:19to be occupied now let's switch our
15:21attention to Elevation and section now
15:24when you start working in section and
15:25elevation the best way is to come back
15:27up to your flooor plan and start
15:29identifying the objects that you want to
15:30show in section two so for example some
15:33of these items such as the plant you can
15:36come up you can select it change the
15:40definition to the other members and you
15:43can start copying down items to be able
15:45to begin populating your drawings for
15:47example when we look at section AA this
15:50would be a significant feature of this
15:52section this slicing through this
15:53reading space we can select these items
15:56like so we can copy them we can come
15:59down to the section
16:01AA we can paste them and then we can now
16:04turn these into the elevation views drop
16:07that in we can select this man reading
16:11we can turn that
16:14into this man here in fact I'm going to
16:18use a different person so we'll probably
16:21do maybe person
16:25reading um we want maybe
16:30this person looks like he's holding a
16:32book and we'll drag him in instead and
16:36we can do the same with the bookshelf
16:39and we can start adding some books and
16:42you can also import maybe some of your
16:44own artwor and turn it into a group or
16:47block for example you can drop maybe
16:51this group in here you could add a
16:52little light as a little reading light
16:55and you can really add some detail to
16:57your sections and elevations
16:59working into them using the blocks and
17:01items adding people adding activity and
17:04achieving something like so where you
17:05can add your own groups with plenty of
17:08detail in elevation you've got plants
17:10with their own Shadows which you can
17:12then head over on the right hand side
17:14and change uh the opacity of those
17:18Shadows by coming down here you've got
17:21people walking around outside we've got
17:23lights dropping down from the ceiling
17:25and the same for this elevation where
17:26you can show the bedrooms you begin to
17:29get an idea of kind of the character of
17:31the spaces uh the atmospheres by showing
17:34these windows and the kind of layouts
17:36the internal layouts these double height
17:39spaces you got the plant and you got the
17:40bookshelf uh and yeah you just this you
17:43don't have to go over over the top crazy
17:46with all of the information and details
17:48I like to just add a subtle amount of
17:50layouts as I've discussed just to give
17:53it an indication of activity use of
17:56space now the second part of this lesson
17:58is going to be switching our Focus away
18:00from blocks and now towards zones and
18:04hatches in lesson six you would have
18:06seen me discussing some detail me using
18:08zones for kind of space planning and
18:10breaking up the massing now I'm going to
18:12show you how to use zones when we come
18:14to a more finished floor plan like this
18:17one and how we can use a Zone to
18:19essentially begin to add a hatch um and
18:22a automatic tag which will give you a
18:25room name and a square meter so the same
18:28principles applies we're going to head
18:30down to uh the element tabs tools at the
18:33bottom so once again youve got the wall
18:35opening Zone divider and the zone so
18:38we've discussed zones before but this is
18:40going to be a case of showing you how to
18:42drop a Zone into an enclosed space in
18:46your floor plans so as you can see when
18:48you select the Zone tool it is picking
18:51up on enclosed space so any space that
18:54is being defined by walls so what I'm
18:56going to do is I'm going to select
18:59into that zone into that space and I'm
19:03going to head over to the right hand
19:04side and we're going to change the fill
19:07to a hatch so as I discussed earlier in
19:10the course you have four options here
19:13you either have a solid which you can do
19:15a solid color like red for example and
19:17you can change the
19:19opacity like so you can do a texture
19:23where you can choose from kind of
19:25realistic textures that kind of give a a
19:28more rendered appeal um for example or
19:33you could use a hatch which is what I'm
19:35going to use in this case so I'm going
19:37to use a kind of a wood floor finish uh
19:42so with that I'm going to use this
19:45Herring bone floor finish and because
19:48this is already coming out a very strong
19:51feature to the drawing I'm going to
19:54change the stroke to quite a light gray
19:58and I'm going to drop the opacity down
19:59to maybe
20:0240% so we have something a lot softer
20:05like so but as you can see once again
20:08the layer is on top so we want it to be
20:11in the background so I'm going to head
20:12over to my layer as you can see I've
20:14created a new layer called zones and I'm
20:17just going to drop that down to the back
20:19and this can be pretty much the back
20:22layer above the site plan and topography
20:25and a really useful feature of hatches
20:27is that when you select your hatch on
20:29the right hand side in the fill tab you
20:31can head down to the transform and you
20:33can begin changing the scale of that
20:37item so for example you could scale it
20:39right up so youve got some kind of much
20:41larger tiles you could scale that right
20:44down
20:46to really small tiles I'm going to keep
20:49it at scale number one but it's just a
20:52really useful way to demonstrate how you
20:54could potentially start editing the
20:56hatches by rotating them change in the
20:58offset
20:59position and it's a really useful way to
21:02start working into the drawings and if
21:04you feel like the hatches that are shown
21:07in the default hatch styles on the right
21:09hand side if you want to try and find
21:12some more hatches there is a library of
21:14100 plus hatches over on this left hand
21:17side if we head over to Styles come over
21:19to libraries and you can see you've got
21:21all these different types of hatches
21:23that you can import into your model for
21:25example if you wanted to import
21:27different concrete textures you've got
21:30all of these different textures
21:31available you can change the view as
21:34cards which I find to be a little bit
21:35easier to identify the textures you then
21:38click three dots click import and that
21:41will drop
21:42into your
21:45texture library and so you have hundreds
21:47of textures and hatches to choose from
21:50now you can see that we have a hatch and
21:53a name applied with the square meter so
21:56we can then go in and change this as the
22:02living
22:04dining kitchen I don't like to go once
22:07again to over the top so this would be
22:09as really as simple as it would get um
22:12when adding hatches in floor plan I
22:14don't like going over the top height I
22:16like my drawings being quite basic black
22:18and white to make sure that the
22:20information that's being shown is um
22:22being shown correctly and that isn't
22:24kind of being overwhelmed by hatches and
22:26other information like furniture Etc um
22:30but as you can see it just adds that
22:32extra graphic touch and extra layer of
22:35detail and information to the drawing
22:37and also starts to add a bit of
22:39hierarchy so you can start to see the
22:41furniture pop a little bit more as you
22:43can see there solid white with the uh
22:46the kind of the floor tiling in the
22:48background and you can see it just
22:50starts to add a bit of hierarchy and a
22:52bit of a pop to the drawings now in some
22:54instances where you want to add a Zone
22:57but you don't have any en closed space
22:59like this for example uh because we
23:01created our own group here for this door
23:05what you can do is you can use the Zone
23:07divider tool so you can now select one
23:11point select the other to essentially
23:13close that zone to close that space so
23:17these walls will be essentially room
23:19bounding and we've now created that zone
23:21divider you can then now drop that zone
23:24into that space and you can do the same
23:26process you could potentially do a more
23:28of a I don't know a concrete type
23:32texture uh or an oblique type texture
23:36with and maybe red for example and you
23:38can start playing around with the
23:39different zones and hatches that you
23:41want to apply in plan now this is one
23:43type of hatch that I want to add but in
23:45order to add extra layers and extra
23:47information to the drawings I'm also
23:49going to add shadows in both plan and
23:53section and elevation and then I'm also
23:55going to add some more details in
23:57Windows for example to show reflection
23:59in elevation and section and just
24:02bringing the drawings to life a little
24:04bit more adding some depth to the
24:05drawings Shadows is a big one for me I
24:08absolutely love adding Shadows to
24:09drawings and it really just adds that
24:11depth to the drawings um which obviously
24:14are very
24:16two-dimensional and so the three and so
24:18the Shadows just add that
24:20three-dimensionality to the drawings now
24:23I'm going to go to the top create a new
24:25layer this is important that Shadows are
24:27now on top
24:30and I'm going to use the poly line tool
24:33and I'm going to start essentially
24:35picking a direction of Sun so for
24:38example if we have sun coming in this
24:40direction here um kind of from the
24:43Northeast down to the Southwest we can
24:46then begin to
24:48Define some Shadow so this is quite a
24:50sketchy process um but it's essentially
24:53to show some kind of depth and then what
24:55we're going to do is we're going to
24:58change that fill to a solid black but
25:01then we're going to drop it down to
25:03maybe
25:0560% and we're not going to have a stroke
25:07because the shadow won't have a stroke
25:09and we'll do the same
25:10here we'll change that to Black drop it
25:13to
25:1460% remove the stroke and I'm actually
25:17going to create a style out of this
25:19because we can begin to populate the
25:22drawings with these shadows and make
25:24sure that we have the consistent opacity
25:25throughout so I'm going to save the
25:27style as
25:32Shadows now instantly by looking at this
25:36it's already adding some depth to the
25:37drawing and we could do the same around
25:40these kind of details where this is a
25:42kind of roof that is slightly
25:48protruding and it doesn't have to be
25:50super accurate this is purely up to you
25:54and how much detail you add to this and
25:57how ACC accely you draw it I like to
26:00keep it quite sketchy and by simply just
26:02adding a bit of Shadow the drawing is
26:04already popping a bit more and it's
26:05becoming a bit of a graphic tool for the
26:07drawing to and you can also start
26:09playing around the different tones of
26:10Shadows to make uh there a bit more of a
26:13hierarchy to show the different levels
26:15and the different volumes and also to
26:17this roof I'm going to add maybe a
26:20tile to show a bit of texture and then
26:23we're going to change that stroke to a
26:25super light gray maybe we'll just drop
26:27the opacity down to maybe
26:2920% so you've got a really nice kind of
26:31subtle and remove the outline you got a
26:34subtle hatch and then at this point we
26:36can also indicate the slope by
26:40adding a maybe subtle Shadow and now the
26:43roof plan floor plans are starting to
26:46come to life you can see the shadow adds
26:50much more depth and quality to the
26:53drawing just making it pop significantly
26:56more and now let's move into these
26:58sections and elevations where I think
26:59this really does help the drawings so to
27:02describe some depth and some maybe caner
27:04levers and overhangs and where these
27:07windows are kind of maybe offsetted
27:10let's now just start drawing in some
27:12Shadows so for example if we indicate
27:14that we have a bit of an overhang here
27:16that is creating a shadow we'll give
27:19that a shadow like so and maybe for
27:21these Shadows we can make them a bit
27:23softer they seem a touch too heavy so we
27:26can maybe drop them down to 30% and
27:28create
27:29a and create a new
27:32type called Shadows may
27:35be
27:3730% we could then maybe add some depth
27:40to the windows to show a kind of reveal
27:43and maybe these could be darker and now
27:45we have a bit of depth to the window and
27:47we can copy that across and also working
27:50some rectangles into the internal spaces
27:52and we can do the same on this
27:56one once again it be quite
28:03sketchy like so take some time working
28:07through it and in elevation you can do
28:09the same once again adding some depth to
28:12the windows indicating some areas of
28:16these Shadows that are being generated
28:18by the landscape and
28:20the
28:23various kind of overlapping elements we
28:25could potentially add
28:28a darker Edge to this overhang
28:32here indicating an
28:35overhang and there by adding some simple
28:38Shadow to the
28:40drawings we have some depth which is
28:42great for a 2d drawing something that
28:45originally looked quite flat the Shadows
28:48all of a sudden just add a bit more
28:51depth and layering to the drawing now
28:54the final things that we're going to add
28:55now is some textures to these elevations
28:57simp simly how we've done hatches on the
29:01roof here and on the ground floor here
29:03we're going to add some textures to this
29:06elevation and then also add some details
29:08to this window to show some materiality
29:11show some reflection and once more
29:14adding that depth to the drawing so the
29:16hatch that I'm going to use for this
29:17elevation is going to be a stone hatch
29:18so if I draw my rectangle so once I've
29:21drawn my Square I'm going to come over
29:23to the fill I'm going to come over to
29:24the hatch I'm going to find a stone
29:29hatch that is going to add this one here
29:35see what others they've got yeah let's
29:36add this Stone
29:37hatch which I think is perfect for this
29:40scenario so this is now starting to tie
29:42in the initial brief of responding to
29:45the local vernacular of cormal and the
29:47cormal stone so we're going to use this
29:49hatch here we're going to turn the
29:51stroke off and once again it's going to
29:53be a case of working
29:55through the colors to make it softer
29:59maybe drop that down to
30:0280% and that is much better we can also
30:05scale this hatch up and
30:08down by coming over to the transform tab
30:11at the bottom we could then scale this
30:12maybe to two to get more maybe that's
30:16slightly too big maybe we'll do
30:191.5 to get some kind of big chunks of
30:22stone and then we can copy this
30:25across scaling it down as you see as you
30:28scale the item the hatch does not scale
30:32which is really useful so as you're
30:34copying this item throughout your
30:37elevation it will remain the
30:41same and in some of these instances
30:43where you have the window and the FI is
30:48going
30:49Beyond you can draw a
30:52rectangle and drop it between those
30:55details
30:58and dropping it in between like
31:00so so then the window's poking through
31:03now to Define these two volumes and two
31:07masses that are sat above one another in
31:10this elevation as I've discussed very
31:13early on using the
31:14references I thought a really
31:16interesting way of defining two zones is
31:18be able to have two contrasting
31:20languages two contrasting materiality so
31:23as you can see here we've got stone at
31:25the kind of base of the ele elevation
31:29which responds nicely to the landscaping
31:33and the integration into the landscaping
31:35and it has that kind of natural response
31:38to the ground and Landscape that we're
31:39working into whereas on this upper Mass
31:42I'm going to have a contrasting material
31:45um such as Timber maybe vertical Timber
31:47slats so I'm going to once again draw a
31:49shape using the polyline I'm going to
31:52trace and I'm going to look at using a
31:55hatch fill that is going to be vertical
31:58and in fact I'm going to change this to
32:00have a bit more of a
32:02battern appearance not
32:05that yeah that's much better and then on
32:08the roof we can show a thicker battern
32:10to show a kind of a contrasting language
32:13so for the pitched roof potentially we
32:15do something thicker like
32:19so the opacity
32:2235% and therefore you've got these three
32:24different languages that show these tiar
32:27and the different masses uh through the
32:30contrasting materiality now the final
32:33thing that I'm going to add to these
32:35elevations is a reflection in the
32:38windows now if you look at if you
32:39normally look at a window it's not white
32:41as we're drawing it here it's not clear
32:44extremely clear it's always got a kind
32:47of gray tone to it a slightly darker
32:49tone because of the reflections of the
32:52sun um and you can't normally see
32:55directly into the space so what I'm
32:57going to do is I'm going to draw using
32:59the rectangle tool I'm just going to
33:01make the glass
33:03pane gray and I'm going to add a bit of
33:06a reflection by drawing maybe a kind of
33:10rectangle like so maybe make that white
33:14maybe drop that
33:1750% like so maybe we could change the
33:19opacity slightly of this but the idea is
33:22to show that materiality of the glass
33:23and the realistic tone and condition of
33:27the flection and what we can do is we
33:29can select these
33:31components right click once again we can
33:33group them and call it glass and we can
33:37also populate these across the
33:42drawing adjusting the aspect ratio for
33:44these larger
33:48Windows right
33:50[Music]
33:51so some of them we might have to do by
33:54hand by actually going into the group on
33:55grouping them until we arrive at
33:57something like this which as you can see
34:00just adds the extra level of detail
34:02reality to the
34:05drawing and also hierarchy once again it
34:08just makes the windows pop much more an
34:12insection you can see that works really
34:15well so as you can see using the hatch
34:18Tools in both floor plan in roof plan in
34:22elevation in section you can really
34:24start bringing your drawings to life
34:26adding depth Shadow is a major one for
34:28me it's starting to show some
34:30materiality and the language that we're
34:32trying to communicate with the
34:34Contemporary Barn look um and the
34:36windows are starting to pop which is
34:38starting to look good and the windows
34:40are now helping the drawings pop and so
34:43now they're ready to begin to start
34:45being annotated
