Incredible content! Thanks for sharing. Any chance you can show us all of that in a digital format? Just to appreciate all the details of the plans. It would be amazing. Good job, greetings from Peru. 🙌

Really informative video... I humble request... If possible, do you mind making a video series where you take us through the process of making an architectural plan for a simple house, right from paper to using a CAD software, complete with how to write the detailed notes, abbreviations and all the standards to be followed by an architect.... It would really be of help to uscwho are starting out, but have no sense of structure...

many different professionals come together to make the set. Here we have arch, landscape, structural, civil etc. I’ve definitely done sets that were much smaller and simpler
I came for that information at (16:19) As a beginner, I didn't know I have that much liberty with where on the page I should place the General Notes (and Details) information.

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I’m disappointed with the quality. This was a tiktok live that I downloaded from the app. Despite the poor quality I figured I’d upload anyway (not thinking it would perform that well) For future content I will prioritize high res video 👍🏼

You’re right about the quality. This video was from a tiktok live and admittedly it didn’t save at a high res. Will consider for the future. I’m only aware of creating 3-D print files via modeling and slicing software. So sketch up, rhinoceros, Ultimaker etc
