Full transcript
- 0:02welcome back to another sweet home 3d
- 0:05tutorial in this video we're going to be
- 0:07using everything we've learned in the
- 0:08past lessons to draw up a complete
- 0:11simple floorplan from start to finish
- 0:13and we're gonna export it out and create
- 0:16documents that we could then give to
- 0:17like a Planning and Zoning Department or
- 0:19to a contractor and actually have this
- 0:22structure built so super useful
- 0:24information here we're gonna start I'm
- 0:27just gonna just my view so I can see
- 0:30more of this grid area that we're going
- 0:31to be working in quite a bit and then
- 0:34I'll go to this zoom and I'll zoom in a
- 0:36little bit and then I'm going to select
- 0:38my grab the pan tool and come back up to
- 0:41the top left
- 0:41I'll find 0 0 was where I like to build
- 0:44and I'll grab my room tool or create a
- 0:47floor first before I do Wallis so I'd
- 0:51left-click I come over I'll hit the
- 0:53enter key and type in 16 and then the
- 0:55feet symbol and I'll come down because
- 0:58I'm building this this is gonna be us so
- 1:00it's gonna be in feet we'll do 8 feet so
- 1:03we'll do 16 by 8 and then 16 again and
- 1:06for my last one I'll just double click
- 1:08and my start point to close it off then
- 1:10I'll go to my wall tool and we'll build
- 1:13a wall here and same thing we'll just go
- 1:158 feet I'm just typing it in whoops that
- 1:18should have been 16 so we'll do another
- 1:20one 8 feet to let's just erase that
- 1:23let's start over so I wanted this I
- 1:25click and delete if you mess up you can
- 1:27select the wall and delete now go back
- 1:29to my wall tool will come right to this
- 1:30point and we'll go enter 16 and then
- 1:34this one was 8 and this one was 16 and
- 1:39this one I'll just double click to end
- 1:41it off as well very nice so now we have
- 1:43a nice 3d model down here of what it
- 1:46looks like and we have our 2d view up
- 1:49here so I don't zoom in zoom in one more
- 1:52time just so we can see this nice and in
- 1:55our full screen and that's dragged in a
- 1:57little bit of well let's put it let's go
- 2:00to door first of all so let's come over
- 2:02here to doors and windows I'll select
- 2:04this door and I'll left-click and drag
- 2:06will put a door just right here on the
- 2:08we'll have it be six inches away from
- 2:12the corner so
- 2:13come right up in okay perfect seven
- 2:17inches away that's fine so it's the
- 2:18seven inches away from the corner we can
- 2:20see what it looks like but look it has
- 2:21swings in the wrong direction so we can
- 2:23change that by just double-clicking on
- 2:25it and we go to mirror shape and that
- 2:29mirrors the shape of it we can also see
- 2:31this door we know it's three feet wide
- 2:33so it's 36 inches which is perfect for a
- 2:36front door for us and tells us all the
- 2:38different size information about it our
- 2:40walls if we're curious we can double
- 2:42click so I want these walls to be two by
- 2:44four so it says the thickness is 0.3
- 2:46inches so that's okay we're not really
- 2:48dimensioning the walls anyway so no
- 2:50one's gonna know by looking at it how
- 2:52thick they are and unless we note on the
- 2:54plan but there these are actually
- 2:56according to the scale of everything
- 2:58there is 0 feet 3 inches and did I say 6
- 3:01before they're 3 inches and so if we
- 3:03want to change it to like a 2 by 6 we
- 3:05could adjust that accordingly but the
- 3:07finished wall is gonna be 3 inches is
- 3:09what it's saying oops
- 3:10control-z let's grab some windows now so
- 3:13maybe I'll do a nice let's do a round
- 3:15window in the back and if you wanted to
- 3:17be centered we'll just kind of move
- 3:19around we it tells us dimensions on both
- 3:21sides right here so we want it to be 2
- 3:23feet roughly the same on both so this is
- 3:272 feet 9 and we want it to be 2 feet 7
- 3:32and 2 feet 8 let's come over 2 feet 7
- 3:34and a half two feet 7 and 1/2 completely
- 3:36centered so we have a nice window
- 3:38centered on the back wall here and then
- 3:41let's grab in let's just grab two more
- 3:44slider windows let's do a slider window
- 3:46let's have it be about let's have a beef
- 3:513 foot 7 inch from the back wall and
- 3:53then I want to be another one on this
- 3:56side so we come to 3 feet 7 inch perfect
- 3:58now I have 2 windows but we see they're
- 4:01so tall they almost look like sliding
- 4:03glass doors
- 4:04so this resize us a little bit we can
- 4:06make sure we're on our selection tool we
- 4:08can select one of them hold down the
- 4:10shift key and select the second one
- 4:11since we want to edit them both at the
- 4:13same time and then we can just right
- 4:15click and go to modify furniture and
- 4:17then here we can just change them so we
- 4:20can change the height of it to instead
- 4:24of being 6 feet tall we can just make it
- 4:26make
- 4:26three feet tall and actually what we
- 4:29would really want to do so it looks a
- 4:30lot better we probably really want to
- 4:32find an actual window like at our supply
- 4:35store at Home Depot or somewhere and we
- 4:37would get the dimensions of that window
- 4:39and then we would type them in here so
- 4:41that we have a real we don't want to
- 4:43make a custom window at least not that
- 4:45for this project probably but anyway
- 4:47let's change that so now we want to need
- 4:48to raise it up a little bit so we'll go
- 4:50to elevation and we'll make it three
- 4:52feet four inches off the ground and that
- 4:54looks a lot better now everything we've
- 4:57we've put in here is gonna as appearing
- 4:59over here in our materials list so we
- 5:02have a door we have a round window a
- 5:03slider window and all the dimensions of
- 5:06it and when we actually print out our
- 5:07documents it'll print out a separate
- 5:09page for all of the it calls it
- 5:13furniture but it's for all the items
- 5:15that we've that we've placed in our
- 5:17drawing okay so this is looking pretty
- 5:21good
- 5:22let's dimension a little bit here so
- 5:24let's choose some good dimensions or
- 5:26this show let's show the the Builder or
- 5:29the city or whoever what we're what
- 5:32exactly we're trying to do here so let's
- 5:34grab our dimensioning tool because just
- 5:36by looking at it all they see so far is
- 5:37128 square feet because this is actually
- 5:40how the plans gonna look like for them
- 5:41so I left click here I come over and
- 5:44make sure it says 8 feet exactly because
- 5:46I want them to know that this is an 8
- 5:48foot wall and I'll bring it out a little
- 5:50bit just to give it some better
- 5:51visibility and then we'll make sure
- 5:53we're still on this tool and we'll come
- 5:54over and we'll click and we'll come over
- 5:57and make sure this is exactly 16 feet
- 5:59and then we'll dimension it out like so
- 6:01and maybe when we zoom out a little bit
- 6:04that might be a little bit hard to see
- 6:06so let's come over and we can select
- 6:08these both at the same time like we did
- 6:10the windows so we'll select and then
- 6:12hold down shift and select both both of
- 6:14them and we'll just hit this key here it
- 6:17makes this a with a larger a and it
- 6:19makes those a little bit bigger we can
- 6:21maybe make them bold too let's make them
- 6:23bold and let's select this and make it
- 6:25also bold
- 6:27perfect so that looks nice and then we
- 6:30can say if we can maybe dimension this
- 6:33window here so we can come over we don't
- 6:35need to say the size of the window
- 6:37because they're gonna see that in the
- 6:38materials breakdown but we
- 6:39can come over and be like look from this
- 6:42wall the center of this window needs to
- 6:45be well whatever it is it's basically
- 6:49the center of the wall right I hate
- 6:51football so it's basically four feet so
- 6:55just so they know so we can come out and
- 6:57just kind of do this kind of thing here
- 6:58so they know okay gosh that's four feet
- 7:01and then look this thing's getting in
- 7:02our way a little bit now now I'm now
- 7:05that I'm seeing this so let's come over
- 7:06here and we'll move this we can actually
- 7:08move this somewhere else like to this
- 7:10part of the document maybe perfect oh
- 7:13then this needs to match our we need to
- 7:15make it a little bit bigger and make it
- 7:17bold so it matches perfect okay so
- 7:23that's kind of a nice simple little
- 7:24floor plan I think you get the idea we
- 7:26could keep going and do some more
- 7:29we need like roof details and maybe we
- 7:32could do foundation details but really
- 7:33let's just let's show what it would look
- 7:35like just getting this out right now so
- 7:39let's put this up here make sure it's in
- 7:41the right place and let's choose a good
- 7:43view so whatever view we put this in
- 7:45it's kind of how it the orientation it's
- 7:48gonna appear so it's kind of a nice 3d
- 7:50view is showing the windows and the
- 7:51inside of this little room and then this
- 7:54view of course is going to be just like
- 7:55that I want to show you one thing we can
- 7:57do so if we go to page setup it gives us
- 8:01an option for choosing a header and a
- 8:04footer so a good time a good thing to do
- 8:06on the header or either one but let's
- 8:08put like the address if we say like five
- 8:10five five maple street
- 8:15whatever Seattle and then on the footer
- 8:18we can say like TJ free Builders Inc and
- 8:28so we have a just some information so
- 8:31that it makes our document look a little
- 8:32bit better so we hit OK oh and actually
- 8:35well let's print this out first and just
- 8:37so you can see what it's going to look
- 8:38like we got a file and we'll just go
- 8:40print to PDF or you could actually print
- 8:41print to PDF just shows us what it's
- 8:44going to look like if it were printed
- 8:46without me actually having to print it
- 8:47out and
- 8:48get out the webcam and stuff so this is
- 8:51the document we just printed it would
- 8:52look like this it'll have three pages
- 8:54the first page has a breakdown of all
- 8:56the materials at all the doors windows
- 8:58anything like that that it needs to know
- 9:00about and we see at the top it has the
- 9:03address and the bottom it has the name
- 9:05of the company or any information we
- 9:07want to provide same thing with this one
- 9:09we have an address at the top the name
- 9:11of the company and then it's showing
- 9:12everything that we've detailed about
- 9:15these plans the square footage of this
- 9:17room the dimensions of these walls and
- 9:21the distance of the center of this
- 9:23window to the edge of this wall and then
- 9:25it has a little 3d view of it so this
- 9:27gives people a pretty good idea
- 9:28especially like a builder if you're
- 9:30wanting someone to build something for
- 9:31you rather than just like drawing on a
- 9:33napkin or telling them if you sent
- 9:35someone this they'd be like okay gotcha
- 9:37they might want to know that the height
- 9:39of the walls they might want to know
- 9:41what you're building it on is it
- 9:43concrete is it like a slab is it just
- 9:45gonna be built on like dirt what are you
- 9:47trying to do you know so we can actually
- 9:49provide that information and we probably
- 9:51should so we can come back I'll close
- 9:53this and we can come over and we'll just
- 9:56put information right anywhere but we
- 9:58can do it let's put it down here sure so
- 10:03we're gonna grab our this just text tool
- 10:06and we're going to start typing in some
- 10:08text so I'll just click right here and
- 10:10we'll just call this will go exterior
- 10:14walls or we'll just say two-by-four
- 10:20exterior walls and we'll just have that
- 10:24because one thing that we type and then
- 10:25we'll grab another thing we'll just type
- 10:26in six inch concrete slab so just any
- 10:37details that we want to put and we'll do
- 10:39one more thing that says wall height I'm
- 10:46doing this backwards eight-foot wall
- 10:52height there we go
- 10:54and we can change the size of this we
- 10:57can change the tattoo text color all
- 10:59that and then we just drag and get these
- 11:01all and kind of put these all in one
- 11:03little area and then we can draw out
- 11:06actually come over here to this polyline
- 11:08and we can just draw a box around this
- 11:13just to make it look a little bit more
- 11:15official to do so there we go so we've
- 11:22got a nice little details box down here
- 11:23and you get the idea I'm not gonna style
- 11:26it up too much but you can kind of
- 11:27stylize this and you can match the look
- 11:29and feel of documents in your area or
- 11:32have a certain type of look you want to
- 11:33go for now if we go print to PDF
- 11:36we've reprinted here just click print we
- 11:39go over right now it's going to look
- 11:41like this so now we have some details
- 11:45here and we could we can create a box up
- 11:47here with the more details when you have
- 11:49notes you know if you're familiar with
- 11:51construction documents you'll have all
- 11:52kinds of details and plans and
- 11:54specifications so we could we can have
- 11:56like a roof schedule down here telling
- 11:58all about the slope of the roof wouldn't
- 12:00have a foundation schedule talking about
- 12:02all the different you know rebar or
- 12:04whatever it needs to be known about the
- 12:06foundation but yeah this is like a basic
- 12:09this is creating a basic plan and some
- 12:12basic documents that we can then share
- 12:13with someone to give them a very clear
- 12:16idea of what we want to build hope you
- 12:18found this video informative go ahead
