    Hello Allan, I would like to know how you deal with the units in both programs. I work in AutoCAD in metric mm (1 meter are 1000 units) and so on. When I import to Blender (exporting from AutoCAD to DXF 2000) I see that I need to scale my drawing to make it fit the camera in blender otherwise the geometry tends to disappear from ACAD to Blender! what could be the best practice and how could the setup be in Blender in order to import or if I need to scale to .0001 so my meter is 1 (unit) instead of 1000 (units) or millimeters. Thanks in advance and Great Video.

  • @blender3darchitect
    @blender3darchitect6 күн бұрын

    What I usually do is to change the Blender units to match the source file. If you keep it in the default settings, it will stay in meters. If you design in AutoCAD using millimeters (mm) and draw 1 meter with 1000 units. Importing that project to Blender will convert those 1000 units to 1000 meters or 1km. Update the units in Blender before importing.

    Help! What is your process for producing technical drawings using Blender 4+ ? (or do you export your views then annotate them in QCad/ACAD?). I need to work natively in Blender because I have a lot of MEP equipment that requires lots of tagging of Descriptions etc. so exporting to a CAD program is awkward for me. 1) Do you have your sheets in Blender or do you export them? 2) Do you use Scenes (one per drawing sheet), animating visibility to show/hide parts (as well as ViewLayers)? 3) Do you use the Compositor to combine camera views onto a single sheet? Perhaps with one Workspace per drawing? 4) What addon/s do you use for dimensioning (Measurable, TechSec, PRJ, MeasureitARCH etc?) 5) What are your views on BlenderBIM?

  • @blender3darchitect
    @blender3darchitect6 күн бұрын

    Blender alone won't help you to create and manage technical drawings. You will be able to export projects as SVG files with orthographic views. Once you have the SVG, you can import it in Inkscape to edit the sheet layout and save it as a PDF. Inkscape is also free and open source. From your list, you will definitively need MeasureIt_ARCH for dimension lines. That is what I use. Regarding BlenderBIM, it is a great solution. But, you need to be willing to learn about both BIM and IFC terminology to take full advantage of BlenderBIM. If that is your case, go for it. It will save you a lot of time. Keep in mind that BlenderBIM is still in alpha. It works, but things are still changing a lot in each version.

    You can do that in Qcad in far fewer operations, after creating the enclosed dimensioned rectangle, use the poly line offset, input distance and click as you did inside the box, it will draw the full offset rectangle in one. Then from the left offset first break, then the second then use the breakout segment to create the gap.

    @rajendrameena1507 ай бұрын

    Start some project in qcad and you will hit the bottleneck very soon, open-source is best for artist but it should atleast provide basic way to complete task just see blender, it start with basic poly modelling work and now it surpasses all major 3d player in the market. I hate Autodesk psychology, they want you to stick to their software only even more advanced software come into market. I used to work in 3ds max but with time i switched to blender for all my poly modelling work but i am unable to find any open alternative to AutoCAD. in today's era openness of any program is very important to utilize the power of AI and Autodesk is just opposite of open-source.

  • @rajendrameena150
    @rajendrameena1507 ай бұрын

    It is ok for such basic task but it is not as scalable and optimized as AutoCAD, lacks advance functions like Dynamic blocks and other tools. I also tried LibreCAD but that is also very basic as well, i mean you cant rely on them for any serious project. However, i use rhino for all my 2d and 3d work even it dont have dynamic blocks but i love the flexibility rhino provides at a very low cost for all 2d, 3d and parameteic modelling need. I use Rhino+Blender+D5+Inkscape+photoshop+Davinci resolve for my current architecture and visualization work.
