  • The Real Detail Library: Open-Source Detail Library for the AEC
    In the development stage of any architectural project or interior renovation, one of the most time-consuming tasks is the detailing of your documentation. Getting the details of each part of installations and finding the material properties to explain in each drawing takes a lot of time. For that reason, having a library of details that []The post The Real Detail Library: Open-Source Detail Library for the AEC appeared first on Blender 3D Architect.

  • How to Import SketchUp 2024 Files to Blender 4.2?
    Working with architecture and design in Blender often requires the use of external files or resources.In this field, SketchUp has a widespread presence in the architecture and interior design business.Many people use it to create quick 3D models, and millions of assets are available as SKP files. Whenever I recommend Blender as a design tool []The post How to Import SketchUp 2024 Files to Blender 4.2? appeared first on Blender 3D Architect.

    Blender for Interior Design: Direct Import Furniture from IKEA (Free Add-on)
    Using Blender for interior design can be challenging, but it becomes easier with the right assets and resources. A good collection of furniture objects and assets can help you finish a design proposal quickly. A new add-on available from the official Blender extensions repository can assist with this task.The add-on has a single purpose: it provides a way to search and import 3D models directly from IKEA. Since this store is incredibly popular in many parts of the world, it offers a valuable shortcut to add furniture to a Blender project.How does it work? To better explain the add-on, I created a simple tutorial.As you can see from the tutorial, you need to install the add-on in Blender to pull data from IKEA. It can use localized stores, which you need to select from the add-on settings.To keep track of the add-on development, you can check the source code on GitHub. To browse IKEA for a collection of furniture, you can visit this address.Blender for Interior Design: First StepsFor those looking to get started with Blender for Interior Design, you should begin by selecting a wide range of assets to use in your projects. The models from IKEA are great, but they don't always provide the best quality. You should also consider bringing in models from SketchUp or 3ds Max. I have full tutorials on how to install add-ons to import that type of data: How to import SketchUp files (SKP) to Blender? How to import 3ds Max (MAX) files to Blender?Using SketchUp files in Blender for Interior Design will give you access to the 3D Warehouse and thousands of 3D objects.Learning BlenderIf you are still in the early stages of learning Blender, we have many resources at Blender 3D Architect that can help: Precise Modeling for Architecture, Engineering, and 3D Printing (Workshop) Blender for Architecture (Workshop) Blender for Beginners Paperback eBookGetting any of the learning resources from Blender 3D Architect supports our work!

    Rhino 8 for Architecture: 2D Drafting like AutoCAD
    When you decide to migrate between design tools to fit a different workflow or take on new opportunities, a frequent concern is how to leverage your existing knowledge to minimize the adaptation process. A few weeks ago, I received a request from an architectural company to guide them in the migration process from AutoCAD to Rhino.Many of the professionals in the company already know how to use AutoCAD, and Rhino has many of the same commands and tools as AutoCAD. This similarity made the entire process incredibly easy and fast. To give you an idea of the process, I created a simple tutorial explaining how to do 2D drafting in Rhino, similar to AutoCAD.The objective of this tutorial is to demonstrate the workflow and use of many features familiar to AutoCAD users, such as: Drawing Rectangles Working with Relative Coordinates Offset Trim Dimension Lines Managing LayersFor anyone with minimal experience in AutoCAD, these are common tools and resources. They work almost the same way in Rhino.Rhino for Architecture: Is it a good choice?Many architects and designers still don't realize the power and usefulness of Rhino in architectural workflows. Besides giving you robust surface modeling tools, we can also create 2D drafting and go beyond traditional design with Grasshopper.If you want to learn more about Rhino applied to architecture, I started a brand new YouTube channel called Rhino Architect. Check it out to learn more about this incredible resource. Related TopicsAutoCADRhinoRhino Drafting

    Blender for Architecture: Extending Walls to Slabs in Bonsai
    Architectural designs comprise various elements such as walls, slabs, doors, and windows. Sometimes, you may need to edit your designs in ways that disconnect these elements. For instance, if you change the height of walls, you might need to relocate your slab to match the new height. Depending on the tools and resources used to create the 3D model, you may require additional editing to adjust all dimensions of your model.If you're using Bonsai in Blender (formerly known as BlenderBIM), we have a clever way to extend and match the size of walls with slabs. In the tutorial below, you'll find a quick introduction to this tool.The key to using this resource is selecting the objects you need to edit in the appropriate order:Select the wall object firstSelect the slab objectPress SHIFT+E or use the button from the Tool tabUsing this method, you can automatically extend walls to meet slabs in Bonsai. It's a simple move for architectural objects, but it can save an incredible amount of time. In the tutorial, I demonstrate the workflow with a single object, but it also works with multiple selections.What is Bonsai?Bonsai is a free Add-on for Blender that can dramatically change how it works for architectural modeling. You'll gain many tools and resources to work with IFC files. These files can store architectural designs with additional information and enable a true BIM workflow in Blender.To learn how to install Bonsai, check out the tutorial where I explain how to get started and begin working with Bonsai for architecture in Blender.Can Blender be used for architecture?The answer to this question is a resounding yes! There are many use cases for Blender in architecture, including both visualization and project development. Here at Blender 3D Architect, we have many resources that can help you use Blender for architecture:Blender: Precise Modeling for Architecture, Engineering, and 3D Printing (Workshop)Blender 4.1: The beginner's guide (Book) eBook PaperbackBlender 4.0: Precise Modeling for Architecture, Engineering, and 3D Printing (Book) eBook PaperbackAcquiring any of these resources will help you better understand Blender and how to use it for architecture and design.
