Feeling low energy after Labor Day? Haocheng CAD software helps you get started efficiently! How long will it take you to copy the above CAD floor plan? 1 hour? Or longer? Today, the editor is sharing with you a CAD tutorial that allows you to quickly create this CAD floor plan in just 10 minutes! CAD drawing tutorials: It is essential to master the correct ways of drawing, and good habits must be developed. Some methods may seem to allow for fast drawing, but they are only suitable for copying. In real work, everything is unknown, and we need to design it ourselves. Back to the topic at hand, next we will use Haochen CAD Architecture to draw this floor plan step by step. Everyone can also use HaoChen Cloud Architecture for drawing; the usage method is the same. In the diagram drawn on the 1F axis, the layer containing the axis has been turned off, but it is essential for actual drawing. 【Grid】-【Draw Grid】: Shortcut key HZZW. (Drawing grid.gif) Subsequently, grid labeling and dimension checking are carried out. If the grid is drawn incorrectly and it’s only discovered later, the amount of work required to make corrections will be significant. 【Grid】-【Grid Annotation】: Shortcut key ZWBZ. Some axes are not part of the main axes and can be drawn separately using the line command. (Axis Grid Annotation.gif) For drawing walls on the 2nd floor, since we drew the axis grid in sufficient detail in the previous step, we can use the axes to directly create the walls. After creating the walls, we close the layer on which the grid is located, and then remove the walls. 【Wall】-【Single Line to Wall】: Shortcut DXBQ. 【General Tools】-【Layer Tools】-【Hide Layer】: Shortcut key GBTC or number key “1”. (Single-line-to-wall.gif) Then double-click on individual walls to change their thickness, material, and baseline position. (Change wall thickness.gif) When inserting doors and windows on the 3rd floor, it is important to make sure that they are inserted in the center, or according to a specific width interval. Types of windows include plain windows, bay windows, corner windows, etc. The dimensions of doors and windows can also be set parametrically. 【Doors & Windows】-【Doors & Windows】: Shortcut key MC. (Doors_and_Windows.gif) Then dimension the outer windows. 【Dimensioning】-【Door and Window Dimensioning】: Shortcut key MCBZ. (Doors and Windows Labels.gif) The grid system on the 4th floor needs to be optimized; since wall modifications are made later on, dimensioning during the construction drawing phase still relies on this grid system. Without optimizing it, it will be difficult to specify the dimensions of the internal details. Therefore, the grid system must be adjusted and optimized based on the existing walls. 【Grid】-【Grid Optimization】: Shortcut key ZWYH. (Axis Grid Optimization.gif) To add furniture and kitchen/bathroom fixtures on HaoChen Building Software, there is no need to draw the furniture manually or copy \"blocks\". The software provides a comprehensive library of images, including interior and exterior furnishings, patterns and textures, frames, etc. We can use these images directly and adjust their sizes, which is very convenient. (Adding furniture.gif) On the 6th floor, the room names and areas are indicated. By using the room search function, we can calculate the area of rooms in bulk and label them; as for the room names, we can modify them manually. The room name and location can be adjusted using grips, and the room area can also be chosen not to be displayed. 【Room Roof】-【Search Room】: Shortcut SSFJ. (search room.gif) That’s it – the CAD floor plan is now complete. How fast was that, right? In the future, when using the HaoChen CAD software to create floor plans, you can refer to the above CAD tutorials if needed~
