0:00If you are still redrawing bathroom
0:01layouts, vanities, and plumbing details
0:04for every project, [music] here's how
0:05you can turn those past bathroom
0:07renovations and new builds into a
0:09reusable library that [music] will save
0:11you hours. Bathroom designs might look
0:13different from project to project, but
0:14the work behind them is often the
0:16[music] same. We're recreating layouts.
0:18We're redrawing vanities, rebuilding
0:20plumbing fixtures over and over again.
0:22In this tutorial, I'm going to show you
0:23how to stop redrawing all of that
0:25bathroom stuff [music] from scratch by
0:27turning every project into a reusable
0:29documentation library. We're going to
0:31focus on rebuilding an adaptable layouts
0:33template, [music] vanity and fixture
0:35libraries, and detailed systems that
0:37help your workflow [music] get faster
0:39and more organized with every single
0:41project. I'm going to be demonstrating
0:42this process today using Rayon Design
0:44[music] where we're going to first
0:45import a floor plan, design a complete
0:48bathroom layout, work with vanity and
0:50plumbing fixtures, [music] apply
0:51materials and finishes, and organize
0:54everything into clear, concise
0:55documentations that are ready to pass
0:57over to your client all [music] in one
0:58place. By the end of this tutorial,
1:00you'll have a bathroom design workflow
1:02that's more efficient, consistent,
1:03[music] and far easier to maintain over
1:05time. You can go ahead and create
1:06[clears throat] a free rayon account
1:08using [music] the link below in the
1:09description to follow along and
1:11duplicate the templates [music] that
1:13we're going to use in this tutorial.
1:14Let's go ahead and get started.
1:18So whether you are renovating an
1:20existing bathroom [music] or maybe
1:22designing a new one, the process usually
1:24starts by importing a DWG file of the
1:26project. So to demonstrate the bathroom
1:29design [music] template and resource
1:30library, we'll walk through a realistic
1:32step-by-step workflow.
1:33>> [music]
1:33>> So, we're going to start by importing a
1:35DWG and then we'll edit and redesign the
1:38bathroom [music] space before moving
1:39into layout, mill work, and plumbing
1:42details. So, I'm just in a blank new
1:45model right inside of Rayon. And I'm
1:46going to go to the hamburger menu over
1:48here and go [music] to import DWG. We're
1:51going to search for our CAD file, which
1:53is bathroom DWG. And I'll hit open. And
1:56then it's going to prompt you with
1:57[music] a few questions about layers.
1:59I'm just going to import as is. And this
2:02is what the preview is going to look
2:03like. Um, it is asking me to draw a
2:05[music] line by clicking two points.
2:06Usually, I just pick some sort of
2:08opening, something that I might know
2:09[music] the dimension of. So, right
2:11here, let's click those two points. It's
2:13asking me if it is [music] 1 meter. And
2:15I'm going to say yes, that is correct.
2:17Um, this is basically just making sure
2:19that it brings it into scale. So, I'll
2:21just say continue. And then it says pick
2:23an insertion [music] point. And we'll
2:24just pick. And there you have it. So
2:27obviously um you can see that it has
2:30maintained some of [music] the blocks,
2:32some of the layers. If we go over to our
2:34layers panel here, [music] um you can
2:36see that it actually brings in all of
2:38the layers, the native layers from your
2:40CAD [music] file. Basically, anything
2:42that was in the CAD file is now in here
2:45and completely editable. Now, it is up
2:48to you whether you want [music] to
2:50redraw some of these items in uh rayon.
2:53For instance, the walls and the [music]
2:56openings might be helpful to redraw in
2:59rayon. And let me just show you why.
3:01Because when I select [music] one of
3:02these walls, it's basically just like
3:04vector um hatch and lines, and it takes
3:07a little bit more effort to move them.
3:10Whereas, [music] if we had a true uh
3:12rayon wall, um which I can show you by
3:15drawing our wall here in a [music]
3:16second, uh it's easier to kind of expand
3:19them and move them. Now, [music] if
3:21you're not going to be moving any walls
3:23in your project, it might not be worth
3:24it to redraw them. But just for the sake
3:27of demonstration, [music] let's go ahead
3:29and lock this entire thing, and I'll
3:31show you how you can actually retrace
3:32the walls in this file. And then we'll
3:34dive into what the actual project scope
3:37is [music] and what we're going to be
3:38doing with this floor plan. So, I'm
3:40going to just select this entire thing
3:41and I'm going to rightclick and say
3:43lock. And so now I can't touch or move
3:46or edit anything, [music] which is good
3:47because I just want to show you how you
3:49can actually retrace these walls. So
3:51down here with the wall [music] tool, um
3:53you can create a new layer to work from.
3:55So I'm going to hit the plus layer and
3:58let's say rayon
4:01walls and make sure that [music] little
4:03check box is there. So we're drawing in
4:05the layer. And we'll grab the wall tool.
4:07And I'm just going to start by basically
4:09tracing these walls that we have here.
4:11So, [music] you can choose to trace it
4:13from the inside, the outside, whatever.
4:15Um, I'm going to just [music] do like
4:17this and basically click the corners.
4:20And you can see that it's drawing walls
4:22as [music] I kind of move around here
4:24and trace. And again, I've got all of
4:27the CAD line [music] work locked. So,
4:29that should not impact any of my
4:31drawing. Um, it just allows me to kind
4:33of retrace it. So, again, you would just
4:35kind of like [music] continue doing
4:37that. When you're done, you just uh
4:39click enter, click done, and now you can
4:42see all of my walls here. [music]
4:43They're obviously the wrong width. So,
4:46we can easily adjust that. So, if I
4:48select this wall here, uh we can go over
4:50[music] into the style here and adjust
4:52the thickness. So, for instance, this
4:54looks like it might be a 12-in wall. So,
4:56if I click 12 [music] in, now you can
4:58see that this wall actually kind of like
5:00fills out that space a little bit
5:02better. [music] I also like to change
5:03the fill as I am tracing. So, I like to
5:06put it to like a red color so I can see
5:08[music] the difference. Um, you can also
5:10easily add like a gradient or a texture
5:13or hatch [music] or even upload your own
5:15image to add to the style fill. And once
5:18you get that looking the way you want it
5:20to, [music] you can actually hit save
5:22style. And we can call this 12in
5:25exterior wall. And now [music] what you
5:28can do is actually select all of your
5:29other walls and just use your pick style
5:32and just ey drop that wall and it
5:34[music] will automatically change the
5:36style of those walls to match the new
5:39one that you [music] have created. So
5:41just continue to do that all around your
5:43space. And then what's nice about that
5:45now is that we can actually [music]
5:46select these walls and easily move them
5:49in and out. So instead of using the
5:52vector lines and you know [music] having
5:54to select everything and the hatch and
5:55the lines and everything, we can easily
5:57just like adjust these walls as we need
5:59to.
6:01Now our [music] main focus here is going
6:03to actually be this bathroom. So I'm
6:05going to right click in the canvas and
6:06say unlock all. And now you can see that
6:09[music] everything is completely
6:10editable. So you know maybe we're not
6:12going to be adjusting any walls in this
6:14space. So, let's just go ahead [music]
6:16and delete, you know, anything in this
6:18bathroom that exists and is going to be
6:21demolished. So, I'm going to just delete
6:22this entire [music] bathroom space. And
6:24now we have a blank space to work from.
6:26And we can actually add in our own
6:28blocks and styles and everything later.
6:30[music] Now, after some retracing and
6:32restyling, your model can look something
6:34like this. [music]
6:35So, here we've got um a more realistic
6:38style. We've got basically all the walls
6:40have been replaced [music] with rayon
6:42walls. All the blocks have been replaced
6:43with rayon blocks, so they're like
6:45easily editable in here. [music] And now
6:48that our base plan is ready, I can show
6:50you how to actually add a style to our
6:53floor. [music] And then we're going to
6:54build out this space. So you can see
6:56that every single floor here basically
6:58has a texture associated with it. Now,
7:00an easy way to do that [music] is just
7:02to place a zone in your room. And how to
7:05do that is to grab your zone tool down
7:07here and then just basically hover over
7:09the space. You can [music] see that
7:10these spaces are already zoned out. But
7:12when I hover over this blank space that
7:14does not have a zone, you [music] can
7:15see that it's kind of like a light blue.
7:17So, if I click there, it's going to
7:19create a zone for me. [music] And now,
7:20what I can do is I can apply a style the
7:22same way that I applied a style to our
7:25walls earlier. [music] Um, but you can
7:27add something a little bit more
7:28realistic if you'd like. So, just by
7:29clicking here, um, we can go to texture
7:33[music]
7:33and then select something, you know,
7:36maybe we want to do like a tile in the
7:37bathroom. So maybe we select that
7:39[music] tile. Uh maybe we want to make
7:41it a little bit uh less opaque. Uh just
7:45to like be less in your [music] face.
7:46You might want to rescale it. So you can
7:49just go on the transform. Uh maybe we
7:52want to make this tile a little bit
7:53bigger. So uh multiply it by two.
7:55[music] So now we're starting to see
7:57this realistic tile in here. And this is
7:59kind of indicating that this is a
8:00bathroom. All right. Now, if you do want
8:02to rename this, instead [music] of
8:03saying zone 16, all you do is just
8:05select on the zone and just say bathroom
8:07[music]
8:09and it will rename that for you. And of
8:11course, it also gives you
8:13>> [music]
8:13>> um the area inside it as well. So, now
8:16that we kind of have that matching um
8:18the rest of our spaces, let's go ahead
8:21and start to [music] outfit this
8:23bathroom using our bathroom design
8:25template. So this way we'll be able to
8:27explore some layout typologies and
8:29design details and just copy [music]
8:31them directly into the current project
8:32instead of starting from scratch. Um we
8:35can just kind of simply adjust what we
8:36already have to fit [music] our new
8:38space. And this is going to save a
8:40significant amount of time compared to
8:41starting from scratch. Now that we are
8:43in the [music] template file, I just
8:45want to walk you through kind of how
8:46this is structured. So you can see over
8:49here under canvases that we've got um
8:51the bathroom layouts here. So, [music]
8:53if we just zoom in, you can see that
8:55there are multiple different bathroom
8:57layouts. Again, [music] very just like
8:58standard designs, standard designs that
9:00I've used on past projects that
9:02>> [music]
9:02>> um worked really well. And again, might
9:04not fit every single bathroom, but can
9:06be easily adjusted to fit other
9:08bathrooms. So, you know, it's kind of
9:10like if I create [music] something, if I
9:12design something that works really well
9:14or I think I might use on another
9:15project, [music] I just basically copy
9:17it into this template and then that way
9:19I can reuse it again. And you can see
9:20that these all have basically like the
9:22floor plan version, the elevation
9:24[music] section details. So again, I
9:27don't have to start from scratch. I can
9:29just kind of copy and paste this into my
9:31next project. Moving down, we've got
9:33some plumbing details here. [music] This
9:35is something that every interior
9:37designer basically loathes drawing. Um,
9:40so having these like readily made, uh,
9:42ready to just copy [music] paste or even
9:44like simply adjust, maybe even just
9:46adjusting some of the spec call outs or
9:48something. [music] Um, just having this
9:50already ready at your fingertips is
9:51super super useful. And then moving
9:53down, we also have some mood [music]
9:55boards in here. So again, just some
9:56styles that have worked in the past for
9:58me that I don't want to have to [music]
10:00recreate or, you know, maybe I just want
10:02to replace one item in there. Uh, these
10:05are just really, really good starter
10:06[music] kits. And again, just select it,
10:08copy and paste it into your new working
10:11project file, and you're, [music] you
10:13know, most of the way there. And then
10:15lastly, we have our presentation
10:16template, which just which just makes it
10:18really easy in the end when you want to
10:20like assemble everything together.
10:21[music]
10:22This is just um you know already laid
10:24out exactly how I want it. I've got my
10:26title page, [music] you know, got my
10:28inspiration, I've got my floor plan, my
10:30elevations, sections, and so on and so
10:32forth. And those things are just already
10:33prepared [music] for me. So, I can just
10:34copy and paste this and then replace any
10:36images that I need to without starting
10:38from scratch. So, we'll just test a
10:40couple different layouts in here [music]
10:41and see if any of them work with what we
10:44have. Uh, let's go to this one, the
10:46bathroom console vanity. I'm just going
10:48to basically [music]
10:49uh select all of this, right click, and
10:51copy as export so that way I can bring
10:53it into another model. And then going
10:55back into our model, I'm going to
10:57[music] actually lock everything again.
10:59So, just select it all and lock. And
11:03that way, nothing's going to move when I
11:05bring this in. [music] Um, which I will
11:07just paste it in here. And that way I
11:10[music] can just uh place it where I
11:12need to. So you can see that this
11:14actually uh seems to fit pretty well
11:16right off the [music] bat. I can also uh
11:18get in here and just like delete the
11:19walls that I already have. So we don't
11:22need walls on this, [music] but let's go
11:24ahead and just delete those. Delete.
11:26Delete. Delete. And this is really all
11:28that I need. [music] So I can just move
11:30this in here. And if I like this, then I
11:33can easily uh just select [music] some
11:35elements and move them to work with what
11:37we have. Um, you can scale it up, scale
11:41that up. You can move some things
11:42around. You know, if we want to recenter
11:44[music] some of these, I don't really
11:46need the tile floor here, so I could
11:47delete that and delete some of these
11:49tags here. And then, you know, just move
11:51things around. [music] We already have
11:52the blocks in here. I just can easily
11:55adjust this to fit our space again
11:57without completely starting from
11:58scratch. So, that layout works, but
12:01let's try another one. [music] So, I'll
12:02just delete that. And again, because I
12:04have everything locked, um I don't have
12:06to worry about adjusting anything else
12:08in the project. We're really just in
12:09this one little space. So, having
12:11everything locked really helps. So,
12:13[music] back in our layout template, um
12:16let's go try out [music] our uh
12:20freestanding vanity option over here.
12:23And [music] again, I can just copy this
12:25entire thing. There's some details that
12:26I maybe don't need, but we [music] can
12:28just copy it and then delete them when
12:29we get in there. So, I will copy as
12:31export. And you can see too before I
12:33bring this in that I already have like
12:34all the elevations [music] and sections
12:36set up here. Again, I might have to
12:37adjust them based on the size, but it is
12:40a [music] super helpful starter kit.
12:42Again, I don't have to do this from
12:43scratch. It already has blocks in it. It
12:45already has even styles in it. So, let's
12:48move [music] into our model and then
12:49we'll just paste it in here. So, we'll
12:51say paste. And I'm going to just move it
12:53off to [music] the side here for a sec.
12:54And obviously we need to rotate it. So
12:56I'll just rotate that. And then let's go
12:59ahead and just delete our walls again
13:00and delete some of these [music] um
13:02extra annotation things that we don't
13:04need.
13:06So basically all of those I don't need
13:08any of my shadows [music] for right now.
13:10And we'll just basically move this into
13:13this space. [music] And I can see
13:15already that it actually fits pretty
13:16perfectly. So I'm just going to line it
13:18up. And I'm [music] actually going to
13:20delete the floor cuz I like my floor.
13:22And now you can see that like basically
13:24the bathroom is designed, right? Like I
13:26didn't have to do that much and I can
13:28already see that the bathroom [music] is
13:30mostly designed. So I'm going to
13:32rightclick and unlock all. Um I'm going
13:35to make this uh floor pattern a little
13:39bit uh [music] more transparent just
13:41because I feel like it's a little too in
13:42my face. And uh there you have it. So if
13:47I would have left my shadows in there, I
13:49could have easily just um kept those in
13:51[music] there. But you can also just
13:52kind of extend any other ones that you
13:53have or don't even use them. It really
13:55doesn't matter. [music]
13:56And then, you know, if you don't like
13:57this countertop, you can easily just
14:00detach [music] the style and create a
14:02new one. So, you know, maybe we want to
14:05do [music] more of like more of like a
14:07granite type thing. So, I'll just click
14:08on like the turazzo and maybe that's
14:10more our [music] style. But, as you can
14:12see, I mean that the bathroom is
14:14basically designed and that took us like
14:151 minute to [music] copy it over. It
14:17might not always be that easy. Sometimes
14:19you might have to adjust things, but
14:20again, RAM makes it super easy. [music]
14:22So, you can just kind of like scale and
14:24move as you need to. Um, if I, you know,
14:28maybe wanted to add another sink to this
14:29[music] project, I could easily just
14:31make that countertop bigger, copy paste
14:34the sink, [music]
14:35and voila. Like, that was so easy. Right
14:38now, [music] as you can see, I already
14:40have some blocks that are coming in from
14:42other projects, but Rayon does have a
14:45huge library of blocks, 10,000 [music]
14:47plus to be exact, and they are all in
14:49top front side views. I'll show you
14:52where to access those. You can just go
14:53over here to the blocks and then
14:56libraries. [music]
14:57And under blocks here, you can just
14:59search for whatever you want or you can
15:01go to libraries and everything [music]
15:02is kind of like laid out here. So, for
15:05instance, we might want to be looking
15:06for a bathroom. And there we're [music]
15:09going to find all different kinds of
15:11like toilets or sinks or anything like
15:14that. Like for instance, if [music] we
15:16decide we don't want this kind of sink
15:17and we want to maybe replace it with
15:19something different, um you can easily
15:21do that here. So, like this [music]
15:22round sink, I can say open and it's
15:24going to show me three different uh
15:26views. So, [music] you know, if I want
15:28this right here, I can just drag it in
15:31and [music] adjust it. And you know, if
15:34I wanted to basically replace um the
15:36sinks that [music] I have, I can just
15:37delete those. You just might need to do
15:39a little bit of relayering. So, let's go
15:41back to our layers, find the round
15:43[music] sync, and bring it up to the
15:45top. And now you can see that we have
15:47this new round sync. If you [music]
15:48wanted to do two of them, you could
15:49always scale that down, put it over
15:52here, and then, you know, paste it over
15:54here. So, really easy to kind of bring
15:57in other blocks, [music] adjust them as
15:59you need to. Uh you can also bring in
16:01your own blocks from CAD obviously as
16:03we've already seen. Additionally, there
16:05are parametric [music] blocks in Rayon,
16:07which basically just means that they
16:09scale and adjust a little bit
16:10differently [music] than a typical block
16:12would. So to show you some examples of
16:14that now, in order to find the
16:15parametric [music]
16:16blocks in the block library, um you'll
16:18just go to your library, make sure
16:20you're in your blocks, and [music] just
16:22add a filter here that says is
16:23parametric and save. And then what it
16:25will do is it will search for [music]
16:27parametric blocks. Um, you can see this
16:29little like symbol here that basically
16:31indicates [music] that these are all
16:32parametric. And let me just show you
16:34what that means as opposed to [music]
16:36just like a regular block here. So, here
16:38I have a parametric uh bathroom sink.
16:41And you can see just by clicking it, it
16:43looks a little bit different. I've got
16:44[music] these arrows here as opposed to
16:46this one. There are no arrows. So, if I,
16:49you know, [music] scale this, it
16:50basically just scales it up or down.
16:52Now, with this one, I can actually
16:54adjust just certain parts of it instead
16:56[music] of scaling it all together. Um,
16:59this is scaling it in just one
17:01direction. So, you'll notice that this
17:04is really useful [music] with things
17:05like kitchen tables and couches and
17:08things like that where you don't
17:09necessarily want to like scale [music]
17:11the entire thing. You just want to add a
17:12seat to it. That's kind of similar to
17:14what this is doing. The parametric
17:16blocks can come in handy [music] in
17:17certain um areas if you need them. Now,
17:20you can also [music] use their AI panel
17:24here to create blocks. If there's
17:25something that you cannot find that
17:27matches what you want, uh you can easily
17:30just ask [music] the AI panel over here
17:32to create a block for you. So, we're
17:35just going to pop back in here into
17:37[music] the template to grab uh an image
17:40of a sync that we want it to create a
17:42block for. Now, a sink is pretty simple,
17:45right? [music] Um it's probably just
17:47going to be like a square. Uh but just
17:49to show you what Rayon can do, let's
17:51just [music] copy as export and place
17:55that image in here. So we'll place it
17:57comes in really small,
18:00but what we're going to do is we're
18:01going to tell the AI panel to [music]
18:02generate a CAD block based on this
18:05image. So I'm going to say use selected
18:07image. And then under tools, I will say
18:10uh generate a CAD block. And I don't
18:12even have to prompt it anything. I just
18:13hit [music] send. And what it's going to
18:14do is it's going to create a top as well
18:17as two different side views of the
18:19product um image. And then you know we
18:21might have to adjust them a little bit.
18:23And again this is going to be a really
18:24simple CAD block cuz this [music] is
18:25like just basically a rectangle with
18:27some fade edges.
18:30So as you [music] can see the AI has
18:32generated um some different views of
18:34this sink. So all I have to do here is
18:36say insert. [music] And now you can see
18:39that that's a pretty accurate
18:40representation of this sink. And then
18:42there [music] are also the side views as
18:44well. It even added like some of the
18:45piping in there. So later when we are
18:47[music] doing elevations, we can use
18:49that. Again, this is a really simple CAD
18:51block, but you can see up here there
18:52were there was another [music] one that
18:54I had prompted with um this vanity that
18:57it did, which if I insert that um yeah,
19:00pretty accurate. [music] So
19:03sometimes it takes a couple different
19:04prompts within the AI to
19:06>> [music]
19:06>> uh get it to look right. But as I've
19:08said, it's just a really good start. So
19:10you don't have to be drawing this stuff
19:12from [music] scratch every time. And
19:12again, if you find something that you
19:14like, then you can just reuse it again.
19:16Which brings me to [music] my next
19:17point, which is that you can create your
19:18own templates. Obviously, like we've
19:20been using this template that I created,
19:22but you can [music] use any blocks or
19:24styles, any model that you've created,
19:27and actually transform it into a
19:28template. So really, all you need to do
19:31is just start [music] dropping um your
19:33blocks or your styles or anything onto a
19:36canvas. And then once you create that
19:38canvas similar [music] to this one that
19:40I have created here, all you need to do
19:43is go to the share button and [music] uh
19:46you can either publish it as a template
19:48which is then going to be reusable for
19:49the future or you can go to libraries
19:51here [music] and publish your styles or
19:54publish your blocks. Um, and what that's
19:56going to do is it's going to basically
19:57take all the styles from your project
19:59that you've created and it will put them
20:01into a [music] style library and then
20:02you just import those into a future
20:04project um, and insert those into the
20:06[music] project and then you can reuse
20:07those on every project. So, as we've
20:10seen so far, having a template at your
20:12fingertips [music] uh, just makes laying
20:13out and redesigning so much faster. Just
20:16like with floor plans, [music] you can
20:17copy those sections, elevations, mill
20:19work, all that stuff um, back in the
20:21layouts here. So, you know, once you
20:23select one of these designs, then you
20:26can just copy and paste [music]
20:27these as well um as your elevations. And
20:31um having these [music] sections,
20:32elevations, mill work, drawings from
20:34your library just makes it so simple um
20:36because you can just kind of adjust the
20:38layout uh based on the changes that
20:40you've made. [music]
20:41And now that our drawing process is
20:43clear, I want to show you two more time
20:45savers that will also make your drawings
20:47more impressive [music] and expressive.
20:49Let's start with how you can use that AI
20:51panel to extract [music] more value from
20:53your drawings with just a few clicks.
20:55So, back to Rayon's AI panel over here.
20:58[music] This uh really helps you design,
21:00visualize, and refine bathroom projects
21:02faster than ever. Uh from generating
21:04aometric [music] views to creating
21:05custom CAD blocks, as we just did,
21:07producing realistic 3D renderings. Yes,
21:10you heard that right. And even swapping
21:12fixtures, finishes, and materials.
21:13[music] You can use single prompts to
21:15save hours and explore more design
21:17options faster than ever. This is
21:19especially powerful during the early
21:21design phase when you want [music] to
21:22present clients with multiple different
21:24bathroom layout options, material
21:26options before you actually commit to
21:28anything and before you're like moving
21:30[music] into your more detailed uh shop
21:32drawings. So, let's see how we can bring
21:34a bathroom plan to life by creating a
21:36quick 3Dometric [music] view without
21:38even doing any 3D modeling. And we'll
21:41also apply our mood board materials to
21:43it with just a few prompts. Back [music]
21:44in here in our working model, I am going
21:47to just uh take a screenshot of this
21:49bathroom here and basically prompt the
21:52AI to [music] generate a 3D axon. So,
21:55I'm just going to hit the plus button
21:56over here, say add screenshot. Um, this
21:58is just a quick way to literally add a
22:00screenshot of
22:02your [music] um space that you want it
22:05to recognize. And then um [music] I'm
22:08also going to go to tools over here and
22:10I'll say create an axometric view of the
22:12scenes floor plan. Um, and then I
22:14[music] don't have to say anything else.
22:15I'll just say send, and it's going to
22:17basically um create like a vector
22:19looking uh axon based on the floor plan
22:23that I [music] gave it. Sometimes it
22:24will also take into account any of the
22:26materials that you have. So, if you want
22:27it to just be a blank space or a blank
22:30slate, um, I would just, you know,
22:32remove your materials or just make all
22:33of these [music] like a white fill. But
22:35what's really cool is that we can also
22:36prompt the AI to make different styles
22:39of this. So, we can do like a clay
22:40style. We could also give it a mood
22:42[music] board and say, you know, apply
22:43these materials to the axon. So, I'll
22:46show you how to do that here in just a
22:47minute. Okay. [music] So, as we can see
22:50over here, um it looks like it has
22:52created an axon, which actually doesn't
22:55look [music] super accurate. Um it's
22:57it's moved the sink a little bit. If I
23:00say preview, it looks [music] like it
23:01moved the sink on the other wall. So,
23:02I'm going to X out of that. And we're
23:04just going to try that again.
23:07[music]
23:10Now, we have to just kind of be mindful
23:11[music] with AI, right? Because it's not
23:14always going to be super accurate. Um,
23:16and sometimes it does take a couple
23:17different tries. So, I'm going to hit
23:19the plus sign [music] here, and we'll
23:20say add screenshot. Um, we're going to
23:22just get as tight into [music] this uh
23:25bathroom as possible, and we'll take the
23:28screenshot there. And then I'll say
23:29[music] tools and generate axon. And
23:31we'll hit send again and see what it
23:33comes up with.
23:37Okay. [music] So, it looks like this new
23:39one that it created is a little bit more
23:40accurate. Looks like it threw in a door
23:41there, which that [music] might be part
23:43of the plan, might not. But just for
23:45tutorial purposes, let's go ahead and
23:47insert the image. And then we [music]
23:48can um stylize this a couple different
23:51ways. So, let's select the image. And
23:54then over here, we'll say use selected
23:56image. And you can see that it's
23:57basically populated [music] this with
23:59the image. And under tools, we're going
24:00to say stylize. And you can select
24:03whatever you want. So, we could either
24:04do a clay model, we could do realistic.
24:06Um, [music] let's just do a clay model
24:08to start and we'll hit send and then see
24:10what it does there. And then we can also
24:12go grab a mood board from our template
24:14and then apply [music] those materials
24:15to the axon. So, jumping back into the
24:18template under [music] the mood boards,
24:20I can select whichever one I want. So,
24:23I'm going to just go ahead [music] and
24:24select this one here. So, I'll just
24:26basically copy as export and go back
24:29into our model. And off to [music] the
24:31side, I'm just going to paste that.
24:34scale it up a little bit and just keep
24:36it handy for whenever we need it. Now,
24:39[music] scrolling down, let's go see
24:40what it did here. So, if I say insert
24:42image,
24:44now we have our basically the exact
24:46[music] same axon just as a clay
24:48rendering, which is super cool. And so
24:51then you can also apply these materials
24:55to [music] the axon. So, I am going to
24:58first take screenshot over here of
25:00[music] my mood board. So take a
25:02screenshot of the mood board and then
25:05also add in a selected image. You can
25:07select either. Let's just [music] try
25:08selecting the clay. We'll say use
25:10selected image. So I want to make sure
25:12that both of those are populated [music]
25:13here. And then under tools,
25:16uh we can either say realistic look.
25:19Let's say realistic look and feel and
25:21see how it does there. You can also type
25:23in a prompt here [music] that would say
25:24like apply mood board materials to the
25:27acton. But let's see how it interprets
25:29this. So we'll just hit send. What's
25:31really cool [music] too that I just
25:32noticed is it actually did add our
25:34little hex pattern and it actually looks
25:35kind of like 3D tiles and you can also
25:38see like the turazzo here. So like
25:39[music] the materials are there. They're
25:41just kind of grayed out. So I think
25:43that's pretty cool. Okay, so [music]
25:45let's see here. If we preview this other
25:48image now, we can see that it did apply
25:49some materials. [music] And I'm actually
25:51pretty impressed. Let's go ahead and
25:52insert the image. And yeah, so it looks
25:56like it applied some of the materials
25:58from the mood board. [music]
26:00And
26:01yeah, I mean, I think it did a pretty
26:02good job. We've got like the turazzo. If
26:05you wanted [music] to get more specific,
26:06you could, you know, grab this tile here
26:11and the image and say like apply tile to
26:13walls or something like that. [music]
26:15Um, the AI is actually pretty good about
26:17really specific prompts. So that just
26:20kind of like is an easy way to start
26:22[music] uh building more of a 3D
26:24representation without actually having
26:25to build the 3D representation. And this
26:27is just going to make the design intent
26:29so much more clear to clients. So now
26:31that we've kind of learned how [music]
26:33to do all this stuff, uh let's go ahead
26:35and see how it all comes together in our
26:37final part [music] where we set up our
26:38client presentation.
26:40Now, as you might know, Rayon is a
26:43[music] one-stop shop to go all the way
26:45from our conceptual design to
26:47construction documentation to [music]
26:48client presentation. So, we can use our
26:51model canvases and paper canvases to
26:54create our drawings, set up our
26:55drawings, and then [music] always have
26:57them like up to date, the drawings up to
26:59date, represented in our documentation,
27:01um whether we're working with the team
27:02or [music] presenting to the client. So,
27:04let's go ahead and dive in and see how
27:06we can finally present this design.
27:10back [music] into our template again.
27:11I'm going to go to our paper canvas
27:13bathroom presentation. And this is where
27:15this guy comes in handy. [music] So,
27:17we're going to literally just copy this
27:19entire thing. So, just selecting
27:20everything, rightclick, copy [music] as
27:22export. And then in our model, we're
27:25going to go to our paper canvas. So, up
27:27until now, we've been working in our
27:28model canvas, [music] which is just kind
27:29of like the working space. Um, in the
27:31paper canvas, this is kind of where you
27:33present everything. So, I don't need to
27:35create [music] a page because I'm
27:36literally going to just paste the pages
27:38that I have. So, I'm going to say paste.
27:40And now, if we zoom in, we can [music]
27:42see that our presentation is started.
27:44Right now, we we can [music] notice that
27:47there are quite a few drawings that are
27:49missing. And that's just because we need
27:50to add in our own floor plan and stuff
27:52like that. But, this is such a good
27:54starter kit um that has like a lot of
27:56stuff ready to go [music] for us uh that
27:58can be easily swapped out or just
28:00reused. So, we can change out some
28:03[music] of the images in our mood
28:05boards. um change out some of the
28:07colors, the textures, anything like that
28:09just by, you know, importing uh [music]
28:12any new images. Uh we do also need to
28:15add in some of our views over here. So,
28:17[music] for instance, the proposed floor
28:18plan as well as elevations. And then
28:21we'll drop in our axons. And then I'll
28:23show you how to actually share this with
28:24the client. [music] So, you can see here
28:26that there's a view that we just need to
28:28delete. And instead, we're going to
28:30create a new view from our model canvas.
28:32[music] So, I'm going to just say plus
28:34right here. go to view from model canvas
28:36and it's going to basically drop our
28:38[music] model canvas on here. Now before
28:41I resize anything, I need to rescale
28:44this so the floor plan fits on the page.
28:47So having [music] the view selected, I'm
28:49just going to go over here to scale. And
28:51you can just start by selecting a couple
28:52of different sizes. Um let's go to let's
28:57try one to 200. Maybe that'll work.
28:59>> [music]
28:59>> So once it kind of looks like it's
29:01fitting on the page now to kind of clean
29:03it up, you can just hold down [music]
29:04your command or whatever it is on a
29:07window to kind of uh close this in.
29:10Sorry, I'm working on a Mac. And [music]
29:12now we kind of have like a more uh
29:14streamlined floor plan. Obviously, that
29:16[music] looks much nicer. And then same
29:19goes for over here. So maybe we want to
29:21show more of a closeup of bathroom.
29:23[music] So maybe I copy and paste this
29:25view and we scale it up. So, [music]
29:28let's go to like one to
29:3350. And again, we'll use [music] our
29:36little command key. And we can just kind
29:37of like zoom in on the bathroom.
29:40And this could [music] be kind of more
29:41of like our detail shot. And then if we
29:44wanted to, we could also add in our
29:45elevations and sections. So, going back
29:48into [music] the template then, um,
29:49we'll go to our layouts and grab these
29:53two sections. Copy as export. [music]
29:56and back into our model canvas. I will
29:59just paste those. Um, if you need to
30:01adjust them based [music] on any design
30:03adjustments that you did, uh, this would
30:05be the time to do that. I'm just going
30:07to leave them as is just to [music] show
30:08you how to get them on the paper canvas.
30:11So, back to our paper canvas. Again, we
30:13can just, uh, place a new view. So, go
30:16to view, model canvas, [music]
30:18and we can see those right there. Now,
30:20we do probably want to make sure that
30:21they're the same scale as the floor
30:23plan. So, this one is 1 to 50. So,
30:24[music] let's make our scale 1 to 50.
30:27And again, just holding down that
30:28command key [music] to uh clean this up
30:31a little bit. And now we've got our
30:34little bathroom as well as our sections.
30:37[music] So, you can see that this starts
30:38to come together really easily because
30:40we've already got everything kind of set
30:42up and easy to copy paste. [music] Now,
30:44lastly, let me just show you how to get
30:46our little axon onto this page. Um,
30:49[music] couple different ways that you
30:50could do it. You could either do that
30:51same process of the view from model
30:53canvas or I usually like to just [music]
30:56go into my model canvas and just copy
30:58the axon and go back to our paper canvas
31:00[music]
31:01and paste it on the axon directly. Then
31:04you can just add some little call outs
31:06if you want to. So like if there was
31:08[music] a specific material that you
31:10wanted to call out um you can add that
31:12right there. We need to bring that above
31:15our layer over there. Or you could also
31:18add in like a material call out. So
31:20[music] you could just do like a little
31:23circle here. Add in a little circle and
31:26fill it with an actual texture. So
31:29[music] you know, we talked about doing
31:31the ceramic tiles.
31:33Let's see. Let's change the size
31:36to [music]
31:370.1. So you can see that that's kind of
31:40like calling that out now. [music] Or if
31:42you have like an actual spec, then you
31:43can easily do that as well. Another uh
31:46cool little way to [music] add in some
31:48more detail is to actually bring in a
31:50section cut of the plumbing details. So,
31:52back in our template again, [music]
31:54uh we do have some cutthroughs of the
31:57plumbing details. So, we can just
31:58[music] easily copy
32:01export, copy as export, and go back to
32:03our model. And in our model canvas, just
32:07[music] paste that detail in here. And
32:10um we can add that in our paper canvas.
32:12[music] So adding in view again from
32:14model canvas and uh scale it however you
32:18[music] need to. So let's scale it a
32:20little bit larger this time going in the
32:23wrong direction. And [music] then once
32:24we kind of close in on this detail here.
32:27Now we've got this detail. And again we
32:29could just kind of do like [music] a
32:30call out if you wanted to. Something
32:32like that. My arrow is pointing in the
32:34wrong direction. But anyway, easy way to
32:37add in those details that we already
32:39have [music] kind of drawn if you wanted
32:41it to be on another sheet. Obviously, it
32:42could be on another sheet, but uh this
32:44is just kind of a fun way to represent
32:46[music]
32:46that detail and kind of tie it together
32:49with the axon. Now, to wrap up the
32:52process, [music] we can either export
32:53our presentation as a PDF or a PNG,
32:56which is very simple to do. So, we've
32:58got our presentation here. We can easily
33:00go to the hamburger menu, [music]
33:02export to PDF. You can say all images or
33:05all pages or you could export it to an
33:08image as an image. Do all images. Um,
33:10[music] but my favorite way to do this
33:12is to actually export this as a [music]
33:15URL presentation for your client to
33:17easily just view on the web. And that
33:19also makes it easy to just like update
33:21[music] and stuff. So, uh, all you need
33:23to do is go to your share button here,
33:26go to this presentation tab, and then
33:28just [music] toggle this on. And what
33:30it's going to do is it's going to
33:31literally create this as a presentation
33:32just at in a URL. So if you copy that,
33:35open [music] it. This is what it's going
33:37to look like when your client actually
33:39uh opens up the URL that you send them.
33:42So as you can see here, it's like a true
33:43presentation style. Um [music] just kind
33:46of, you know, click through and you can
33:48see we've got our floor plan. This
33:49[music] obviously we needed to clean up.
33:52Um but that's the nice thing is that you
33:53can kind of clean this [music] stuff up
33:54and then just, you know, uh share it
33:56again and it'll be updated. That's one
33:59of my favorite [music] ways to use this
34:01uh share tool. Now, you can also give
34:03other team [music] members access just
34:05right under here under access. Make them
34:07an editor, a viewer, or you could also
34:09do a public link [music] if you want
34:11others to be able to change some things
34:13in the project. Uh just a really, really
34:15easy way to coordinate with everyone.
34:18And that is the complete [music]
34:19bathroom design workflow. Today we
34:22covered how to design with a system, one
34:24that helps you stop redrawing bathroom
34:26layouts, vanities, and plumbing fixtures
34:28and instead build a reusable library
34:30that grows with every [music] project.
34:31By combining these adaptable layouts,
34:33the CAD blocks, and detail libraries
34:36into a single template, you [music] can
34:37move faster in that early design phase,
34:40communicate more clearly with your
34:41clients, and produce bathroom
34:42documentation with far less friction.
34:44The more you design, the more efficient
34:46and powerful your design workflow
34:48becomes. My recommendation is to always
34:50start small. [music] Take one of your
34:52past bathroom projects and just turn it
34:54into a template. This way you can save
34:55your mostused details and begin
34:57compounding your work instead of
34:59starting from scratch [music] each time.
35:00You can go ahead and create a free rayon
35:02account using the link in the
35:03description below and just go ahead and
35:05duplicate those templates and apply them
35:06to your own practice. Thanks for
35:08designing along with me today. I will
35:09see [music] you in the next tutorial.
