In this video I will tell you about making a float plan from a completely blank drawing.
So right now we have this drawing we don't know the units or any other value which is set in this drawing
and we'll start with the units will set the proper units and this template then we'll add walls and
then we'll add doors and windows.
So we use blocks for adding doors and windows and then we'll add other additional blocks in the drawing
and then we learn about adding text and other innovations then we'll add the hatches.
And finally we'll add a diamond to a drawing.
So let's get started with this first part of this tutorial.
So here we have this completely blank template and when you start with the units so to set the unit
simply type you in on the command line and press enter.
Now had this joined units window will pop up.
Here we need to select the unit type and I'll select architectural In this case.
Also the precision should be set to 1 is to 4 you can select any other precision if you want.
And in this in social scale and select inches now with these changes click on OK.
Now I'll start for the rectangle and click.
Anybody in the drawing need to start the rectangle and we need to make a rectangle with a length of
50 feet and a height of 31 feet.
And for that I'll type at 50 foot karma 31 feet.
So you can clearly see that I'm adding this fit sign right after the number.
All right after the values so you should ensure that the signs are added.
Now after adding these values simply press enter.
There we have it the rectangle with the length of 50 feet and height of 31 feet.
You'll find this fit sign on your keyboard.
And here's the key which should be selected and for selecting the inches you need to select the same
key by pressing and holding the shift key.
Now let's go to the line tool.
And this time has started this point what a lot on this point.
Instead of simply track it up for direction.
And when it dragged in a direction you see this extension option on this tooltip.
And if you are not able to see this option go to subject snap click here and select this extension option.
Now I click back here once again and go to this point and track it uploads and enter a distance of 15
feet and press enter.
Now moved in this direction.
Enter a distance of 12 foot press enter and move it downwards like this.
Now press enter again to repeat the line tool.
Click on this point and enter a distance of six feet.
Press Enter now moved in this direction enter a distance of ten feet.
Press enter.
Now join it with this point.
Make sure that you disconnecting this line at the intersection point and not this midpoint.
So here we need to ensure that it is connected at this intersection point like this.
All right so here we have it.
Now go to the line tool again and go to this end point and join it with this one.
This intersection point press enter again.
Select the next End Point.
Join it here.
Now the boundaries of this floorplan is complete.
We need to add thickness to the wall.
For that I'll go to this offset Tuli and enter the offset distance of 10 inches and 4 inches you need
to select this keyboard and unit de-selected by pressing and holding the shift key.
Now press enter and click on this rectangle and click outside.
Now press enter again and press enter again to repeat the offset tool.
Now this time as select an offset distance of 6 inches and press enter.
Now click on this line offset it and for that action up for that action up for that action and this
will also have moved towards right and move towards left move this line to do right.
All right now we need to add one more line over here and that and once again select offset and add an
offset distance of 10 feet and press enter.
Now click on this line.
This one which is on the bottom and click up verts and go to offset and select an offset distance of
6 inches.
Press enter and move it up.
All right.
Now we need to clean this geometry a little bit.
And for that select trim tool to select it and press ENTER not carefully remove these parts of the join.
So this area should be cleaned and here also you're also here also.
So where are these lines are intersecting simply.
Clean them
all right.
The drawing is now complete.
Now we'll start by adding two different blocks and we'll start with a door and window and before that
we need to make the door and window so we'll make our own door and window here.
But before making those logs I'll go to this earlier properties.
Now click on this link properties and add some layers to the drawing.
So we need to add these layers because we will place different objects in different layer for easy classification
and that's the general way of making these drawings.
You should also try to put different kinds of objects on different layers so I'll click on this nuclear
option and I'll add a new layer door.
Click on this again and type window the same I can type blocks
hatches
text
dimensions and that's it for now.
So I'll add different colors also so I'll go to this door and I'll add this magenta gorilla to door.
I'll go to a window.
Let's add this blue color and let's go two blocks.
This is cyan for hatches select green for text.
Look yellow and for dimensions that's like this pink color.
All right.
So we have added Gelert and these colors will be used to differentiate between different objects of
the drawing.
So now we can start with the door block.
So go to this dropdown.
Change it to door.
And now this rectangle tool.
Click anywhere in the drawing area and type at and the length of this rectangle should be three inches
and the height should be three feet.
And press enter.
So all right here we have it.
Now make another rectangle a small one and this time I'll type at a length of three inches and a height
of six inches and press enter.
All right so here we have it.
Now simply move it on this end point here just like this.
Now I'll go to this tool and select the center start and click on this point that will be the center
point the start point and the end point along this x axis.
Now make a copy of this small rectangle.
And simply move it on this end point like this.
So a door block is ready.
Now we only need to make a variation of this door block and for that I'll make a copy of this.
So select Copy tool.
And here we have it so that's the original one.
And I'll just make another copy here.
And for making the next copy and select this mirror to select mirror select the doll and press ENTER
NOW.
Click on this point and click on that point and press enter.
Now we need to remove these two rectangles and these rectangles are no longer needed.
And here we have it.
So we have these two editions of the door block.
Now let's make Windows and for Windows and once against electric dangle.
And before doing that let's join the Llyr so I'll change the little window.
All right.
Now click and in the drawing area.
Let's type at and the length is 5 foot comma.
The height is six inches.
And press enter.
So as you can see that due to the dark color of this window we are not able to see quite properly so
I'll change the color of this window so I'll click on this box and change it to this orange color and
click on OK.
Close it.
So there we have it.
Now it's quite clearly visible.
All right.
Now let's explore this and join and click on offset Antar and off the distance of one inch offset to
downwards offset.
Here now make a copy of this one.
And copy it to the midpoint.
All right.
Let's go to the Trimm tool and trim it like this.
So here we have it one of the windows now prepared.
Select this rectangle tool again and make another window for that I'll type at six feet comma 10 inches
and press enter and select this one type hex and press enter so that will again explore this complete
geometry.
Select the offset tool.
Type 2 inches has the offset distance offset this one to two inches here and also and make a copy of
this line similar to the one we did in the previous case.
And here also I'll trim this portion on right so we have these two windows and these two doors.
Now let's convert them into blocks.
And for that I'll go to this create block and let's name it does Door 1.
Select the point and click on this point here.
That's the big point.
Now select object and select all of these objects and press enter and now click on OK.
So we have our door block.
Now the second block.
So repeat the process name it as door to point and let's look this one is a point select object.
Set them all press enter and ok.
Similarly repeat the process for Bindu.
All right so now we have added doors and windows and you can see them in this list.
We have one or two and we know one or two now they're ready to be added in a drawing and we'll learn
about adding these blogs and also other blogs in or drawing in the next media.
