    Delete 3D Wall Peaks – For a long time we have been able to fit our walls to 3D geometry. The downside is that you end up with a wall that has peaks. While it has been easy to add these peaks it has always been troublesome to remove them, and…

  • Architect Special Interest Group September 2016 (am)

    In this session we looked at the concept of applying textures to the wall component of a building. But as well as looking at pictures we also wanted to look at actual 3D modelling of wall components, in this case using board and batten.

    Adding Additional Walls – I keep coming back to it, as one of the key features of this way of drawing is the ability to update the design layer and see the changes on the viewports. At this point you may have had a discussion with your client or you may…

    Creating The Walls – Many of our projects need walls. This is obvious for architects but many landscape projects also use walls as well. If we use the walls correctly we can get the 2D view of the project that we require, and we can also get the 3D part of the…

    Just lately, I have been teaching several users who want to move from using a workflow to using Building Information Modelling (3D workflow). In the past, I had several users who would say “I want to get to the under my belt first then look at 3D.” This suggests that…

  • Tools That Speed you from 2D to 3D – The Wall Tool

    The Wall Tool is one of the most important tools to speed up your drawing from 2D to 3D, regardless of your profession. If you set up design layers correctly, the wall tool will give 3D for free. But that is only the start of what you can do with…
