Hey there, This is Nico from Floorplanner and welcome
back to the basic drawing tutorial. In the previous videos we drew the walls,
added doors and windows, a staircase and a garden and also the area
sizes and textures of the rooms. Now well make this plan more into a home.
Well create this open kitchen, and add a bit of furniture in the living room.
Lets get started with the kitchen. Well first add a wall section
here, partly dividing the kitchen from the living room.
There are actually two ways you can do this.
The first way is using the room tool.
Move your mouse to the first construction icon to draw a room.
Click it and the cursor changes into a cross. Move your mouse to one of the white dots where
you want to start the wall. Its this corner I want to start. And click
for the first point, for connecting to this wall.
If you move your mouse, and keep your mouse horizontally
or vertically aligned to the first point, notice that you only draw one wall instead
of four walls at a time.
So you wont make a complete room, but just
one wall, which is attached to the first point. And also reacts with the automatic area calculation
that I discussed in the previous video. Now, you can click once more to finish this
wall. Voil! And if you move over it you see all the white
dots appear, you see the line highlight, and now you can drag it and it will react
kind of the same as dragging other walls.
And now we can click this wall to set the
height. We actually want a low wall, more like a banister,
so you can look from the kitchen worktop into the living room.
Theres an option called edit height and here you can change the height and elevation
of the wall. We want to make a wall of 1.1 Meters high,
so Im just typing 1.1 And I click somewhere else in the canvas to
get rid of the menu and its set to 1.1.
Lets check 3D to see the result. And indeed we have a low wall.
Theres a second way to a separate wall like this.
(Lets remove this one) And thats by using the third icon in the
construction menu, which is the Line tool.
There are various types of lines: We have a line type called single wall
we have a dimension line you can draw just normal lines or dotted lines,
thats the third icon.
You can draw fences, hedges and pathways.
In the advanced tutorials Im covering the other line types,
but now Im just using the single wall tool. Single walls are actually a special type of
wall that we added for exceptional cases. Sometimes you just want to have a wall that
doesnt connect with the rest of the wall structure.
Like a room divider. And in this case its also handy to use a single wall.
You can start a single wall anywhere, you dont have to start at one of the white
dots, but in this case I am going to start here.
Just click once and move your mouse and you see a blue line.
Then you can click again and you have a wall.
And if you release and move your mouse,
you will see that a new blue line appears to directly create a second wall.
We dont want this, so we press Escape to cancel the wall drawing mode,
and we can move over this wall with the cursor and it highlights.
Now you can drag it. Or you can drag the corners But we just want to change the height, so
Im clicking it and you have a small menu with more properties,
duplicate and delete. Im clicking more properties and here there's
a menu showing the same line types that I showed over here.
Here you can set the thickness and I want to edit the height to 1.1 Meters.
Click somewhere else to get rid of this menu and save
and we can check 3D again, to see that we have the same result.
Okay, thats that. Now lets add a kitchen block, over here.
You can find the kitchen block in the sidebar.
You can either choose the kitchen category,
or, for the same effect type kitchen and you will get all this kitchen equipment:
Kitchen cabinets, a complete block with cabinets and a furnace and a sink.
You can find kitchen hoods here, a stove , various types of cookers
and separate worktops with cabinets. Ill keep it easy today, so Im just going
to drag in a ready-made kitchen into the plan and drop it over here.
All right, we finished the kitchen, and lets set up a coffee corner over here.
First I want to add a nice rug: Lets add this one.
Im just dragging it in, and now I want to add some sofas.
Heres a nice triple seater in red. So we click and drag and then use the arrows
to rotate and if you click the i you see that
you get more properties. You can change the colour, or the rotation,
or flip it I just want to duplicate it.
Lets find a nice coffee table to put in between.
Id like a glass one, so I could type coffee table, but I can also search for a typical
material then you get all these glass items.
Click and drag and release, and click to rotate.
Heres a little tip: if you have multiple
items you can group them together by holding the Shift key.
So you hold Shift, and then click each item you want to add one-by-one
and if you click on the properties, you see that theyve become a group.
These groups are only temporary so theyll be lost when you reload the plan.
This grouping function can be very handy if you want to rotate a set of objects.
The last thing I want to do is add a nice painting.
So let me search for art and there are numerous paintings.
Lets add a nice Mondriaan. At this moment its facing the wall, so
Im rotating it. Oh, by the way, if you want to have a precise
placement you can use the arrow keys. Lets check 3D, and if you rotate the plan,
you will see that the painting is positioned on the ground.
With most of our wall items you have to give them an elevation.
So you click the properties and select edit height and give it an elevation of 1.2 M.
And now its nicely fixed on the wall.
Okay, we now have a kitchen and a bit of furnishing.
