Does the specification of the wall length during the drawing action refer to the inside or the outside of the final wall?
Please can you do a tutorial on how to use MeasureIt_ARCH's Views and how to create and use the Titleblocks? Thanks
3D DWG FILES?
is there any way to type the distance while using measure tool.
wow, this is amazing news, was just looking for something convenient like this edit thank you very much for sharing this
Oh yeah thank you for doing this demo!
很赞👍👍👍
I dont see the option for change Font/font size, etc I took the last release from gumroad
The title is misleading
Thanks a lot! I used it and wanted to make changes such as colors and font size to almost 20 dimensions and it was taking a lot of time. I wanted to create a dimension style but I couldn't find the option for that. is it available in this version or it is under development?
I dont see the option for change Font/font size, etc I took the last release from gumroad Which version did you take?
@@jaa2412 You should click on the chain icon under dimensions section where you dimensions are listed. when it is unlinked, you can edit them
My keyboard doesn't have a home button . :(
archipack how we get free???????
Nice Addon, thank you for the video
Hi sir.... Blender 4.2 in add ons option there is no install option... Help me
no longer keeps the hierarchy of the elements?, it does not show it sorted in the left column
Exactly what I had been looking for. Very helpful tip!
Two things that I really miss and could be game changers for us. An easy way to curve walls and an easy way to change walls thickness without changing/creating the whole family/class. Could you point me to the right direction?
Importing was fine. BUT no material. I went to the EXTERNAL DATA / Find missing Files. Texture files are there in the folder but it says no files. The object looks like CHROME reflecting the HDRI. ???
Ordered it from Gumroad - it is accessed in the Gumroad app - looking forward to it
Thank you very much! It helped a lot :)
Great features. I could probably switch to 4.3 if officially release. Thank you for sharing
It is a great value, but since dollars are really expensive in Brazil right now, we will need to wait for better times. It costs us nearly 6x the original cost and no, our income is not compatible with the increase, quite the contrary, we earn less and things costs more thanks to taxes and a terrible economy.
Great initiative! Excited to start! Waiting for a workshop on BONSAI!
ifcarchitect already done that.
Congrats. Are you brazilian?
Thanks!!
Thank you very much . I noted one small issue with your import, the driveway texture + the lawn texture in square in front of fence doesn't seem to have been imported. Is this due to blender only importing certain formats file extensions ? Could you have a look and see which image files fail ? Are they .bmp .png.jpg? Again thank you. -- I'm planning on installing Blender sometime soon as it looks like a very good program for animation and modelling I've been using Sketchup Maya + TM Twinmotion to create small animations and would like a more professional look . possibly moving onto either Blender+ after effects or unreal engine I have some animations on my CZcams channel all models are Sketchup rendered in Twinmotion
When devs don't know about HIDPI scaling... 3:53 look how fast it is to create the walls, some 40 quads. The unparalleled hyper-speed of Blender!
Thanks Alan. You can also type the length of the line without pressing Spacebar (entering the command line) and before pressing the Alt key.
Muchas gracias por la información :D
and how to import materials?
If possible, I would like to see a simple project done on the Bonsai from start to finish, to understand to understand how BIM works inside Blender. Thank you for the news that you always bring!
Great idea. I'm planning to do something like this.
Cool, I think we need way more modeling improvements. For what do we already have advanced management and drawing generation features while making a simple model is still a pain?
Give them some time and it will improve. Things are moving in the right direction.
The reason is because the minority of users are modeling and generating drawings. The majority are actually consuming existing models made from proprietary software, then enhancing, auditing, visualising, editing, existing models (also, that's my day job). User priorities drive development. So Blender is actually surprisingly used in a huge number of mega projects in the world in this sense, whilst simultaneously we struggle to do a house :)
@@DionMoult Meh, sad to always be in the minority, haha But I get the point. I hope modeling will get more love in the future too!
@@DionMoult This is really interesting. Are there examples of such projects in a forum somewhere? This new wall tool looks like a great addition.
Hi I use Blender 4.2 , Bonsai not installing for me
Does it show any error message? What happens?
me too
Great tip, not a new feature, but this should be the default one without any shortcuts, just straight-up ready when we click the walls or any element, to be honest. It's also important to mention that this tip came from @DionMoult in your last video comments session.
Yes, this feature is under development for some time. I saw it in the OSArch forums about two weeks ago. It finally made to the official release.
It will become the default drawing method for walls in the next release. There is still work to be done to make it handle editing existing walls, handling curved walls, showing wall previews, not just a line... and then can slowly roll it out to horizontal layered elements (e.g. slabs), and so on. The best way to help with development is to 1) report bugs / feature wishlists / usability / QoL stuff on the Github issue tracker 2) help participate on community forums to help other users so that we get a multiplier effect of community support. The best way to speed up development is to 1) join and write code or 2) chip in with some money so we can then hire coding. This wall tool would still not be around if we didn't have sponsorship, for example.
@@DionMoult No coding from this monkey here would be a good adition. lol, but I DO donate whenever I can. It isn`t great amounts since dollar convertions are really expensive for brazilians, but we are able to donate something like 10 bucks every other month. Two things that I really miss and could be game changers for us. An easy way to curve walls and an easy way to change walls thickness without changing/creating the whole family/class. Could you point me to the right direction to do those things?
I'm very new to Blender, but I don't have the 'Get Extensions' option on my Preferences menu?
What is your Blender version? The "Get Extensions" is from Blender 4.2
@@blender3darchitect Yes, it's Blender 4.2 - I found the icon in the bottom right corner controlling connection to the internet, clicked that, and the Get Extensions option appeared. Thanks!
Solution to this new update to get all your addons back in the addons option on blender like it was before: Close blender Go to your user directory folder>click on the folder with your username>click on appdata (it's hidden, show hidden folders to see it)>Local>packages>BlenderFoundation.Blender>LocalCache>Roaming>Blender Foundation>Blender>you will see all the previous and current useless update (4.2) click on the previous one, you will see a folder called Scripts, copy it and paste it in the new update folder 4.2. Done, the addons are back in the addons option
Doesn't plugging any node directly to output node gives the same result?
I was thinking the same. And also, there is the Diffuse shader node. But I trust the Blender devs that this node setup has some benefits over the other two options.
dude thank you.... I was going crazy. Thank you.
Glad I could help
sir how import image into the object
Wait... If you look closely, the created tangents are not connected to the circles. Is there a way to fix that ?
You are right. If you look close, they don't touch. The problem is that Blender uses Polygons as circles. They are not curves. Since Polygons use straight edges with lots of segments, usually you won't have a perfect intersection point. The solution would be: 1. Use a Mesh Circle with lots of sides 64+ to increase the chance of an intersection. 2. Edit the point close to the tangent to make them intersect
Very usefull! Thanks man!
Glad it helped!
Great Tip. Just discovered your channel. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
been searching for a long time. thanks for this Sir.
Is this really new?
Thanks for the video. But аctually , if you simply use the 3D Cursor as pivot for the Sheer tool you can save yourself all those additional gymnastics.
I can't believe we are creating walls like it was 1989. Even mobile apps let we draw them. 😂😅
In fact, you don't need to do all of that. He might be using blender as hobby or started recently.
Doesn't work for me unfortunately. The add-on installs, but the box isn't able to be ticked. The error message says something about a "circular import". No idea what that means... :(
Thanks for the info, never seen this method before. I just created a Geometry Node tool and added it to the startup file , works like a charm.
Probably Imagine as Reference works better
