Construction is first design, and then work on site. Drawing up a project in the 21st century is not paper work, but computer work, and many special programs have been developed for this. For objects of minimal complexity, a simple program can be used; for multi-story or multifunctional structures, there are more complex programs, but all of them can be mastered quite quickly even by novice designers. This is the so-called CAD programs for working with drawings (computer-aided design systems). The undisputed leaders are programs for creating drawings AutoCAD, Compass-3D, NanoCAD and 3-D Max due to their accessibility and versatility. Let’s look at what each of these programs can do below:
PC software package Autodesk AutoCAD
A simple program for drawings, but its capabilities can be increased by installing additional modules (plugins). It works in 2-D and 3-D dimensions of spatial parameters, that is, it can create a flat pattern or a three-dimensional image.
AutoCAD is a program for creating drawings of industrial complexity. The software can visualize diagrams and drawings and render objects, which allows you to bring the visual perception of the layout as close as possible to the real one.
The capabilities of AutoCAD CAD in 2-D and 3-D spaces mean working with objects of any degree of complexity. Outputting and saving files in DWG, DWF and DXF formats allows for full compatibility with similar software.
Advantages:
- The program is in Russian;
- Several dozen plugins allow you to build the most complex objects;
- The project can be saved in the MEGA cloud, Coole Disk, OneDrive, Yandex Disk, Mail.Ru, etc., printed on a printer or in 3-D;
- Integration into different formats;
- Installed on all OS on a computer of any generation, if it has suitable specifications(amount of RAM, video card parameters, frequency, bit depth).
Flaws:
The program is paid.
COMPASS program
The drawing program's capabilities are wide - it can work with all image formats. Availability of graphic, visual and text editor. The drawing program can be used at home or in a design office, with its help it is easy to implement and visualize construction projects. The program's capabilities are updated and errors are corrected automatically. 
Advantages:
- Simple software for drawings and diagrams allows even novice draftsmen to master it;
- A voluminous database of standard projects and object blanks, a large number of diagrams, drawings, parts, structures and projects;
- Plugin database and additional tools for constructing simple and complex objects;
- Menu in Russian;
- Trial version for staff training.
Flaws:
The software is paid, and in the trial version the capabilities are limited.
The program is much simpler than AutoCAD and Compass, but for working at home it has extensive functionality, capable of creating high-quality drawings on a PC. Because of its ease of use, the program is often used as a training program. All graphics comply with CAD standards for 2-D design, the software can be dimensioned and is compatible with DWG and DXF formats, which expands its capabilities. 
Advantages:
- The paid version costs less than AutoCAD and Compass;
- The API allows you to implement your own applications and services;
- Free version, but with limited functionality.
Flaws:
Does not work in 3-D, no rendering function.
When drawing up simple drawings, graphs or sketches, the program is indispensable, but it is not suitable for developing complex objects, especially since it will not be possible to create a three-dimensional model with its help. Good software for learning, personal use and performing simple homework.
3-D MAX
The most common program among all draftsmen. Probably, the developers themselves do not know all its capabilities. Hundreds of plugins allow you to create objects of any complexity and nesting, visualize them in 3-D or 2-D space, there is a function for creating three-dimensional panoramic video, where the object can be rotated with the mouse in any direction and in any plane. 3-D MAX is a free program, but its functionality is much wider than that of the paid “AutoCAD”, “NanoCAD” and “Compass” due to free plugins and a large base of model blanks of any complexity and focus. 
Advantages:
- Autodesk 3-D MAX is a free and unlimited program;
- As a continuation of the main version, lightweight versions of 3-D MAX have been developed, when working with which even the oldest computers do not “slow down” or “freeze”;
- 3-D MAX provides the ability to create animated scenes, for example, you can create the same computer cartoons.
Flaws:
The program is difficult to learn, and even a short break in work reduces the level of training, since the software is constantly updated and improved.
The program is distributed free of charge, and in Windows 10 it is already installed by default, and you can master its capabilities quite quickly even without training lessons. The intuitive interface is designed for the lack of skills in working with similar software. Simple drawings, simple drawings and sketches - this is what 3-D Builder has to offer. 
Advantages:
- Free access to all functionality;
- Working with libraries of ready-made projects and blanks;
- Interaction with cloud storages.
Flaws:
It is impossible to develop a more or less complex project using 3-D Builder, so its use is limited to home needs.
Paint
This is the most common software, the basic version of which is installed on every computer, starting with the oldest OS. However, you can draw simple drawings, diagrams, plans of objects and sites, make drawings or sketches of drawings in it, and you can learn how to work in Paint in a few minutes. The blanks that are stored in the computer library make it much easier to get started without skills and basic knowledge. 
Paint
The Paint software, preinstalled in all versions of Windows OS, has extended versions and add-ons for tablets and even smartphones that allow you to create drawings with a stylus or by hand.
The program is a multi-platform system for automated creation of projects in 2D and 3D graphics. VariCAD was developed as software for design in the mechanical engineering field, as well as for drawing and calculations of mechanical components. 
The VariCAD interface is designed to make it easy and fast to develop 2D or 3D models. Tools for developing pipelines and tanks of various levels of complexity have been introduced. One-sided conversion of 3D layouts into 2D graphics without reverse conversion is provided.
The choice of one or another software depends only on the degree of complexity of the project and the need to perform a simple task using a complex program.
Instructions
There are many ready-made projects made by specialists, taking into account all possible requirements. But a good plan costs good money. If you have some engineering knowledge, you can try to make a plan for your house yourself.
Start designing a house with geological exploration of the land. This will help you find out accurate data about the properties of soils, the height of groundwater, which is necessary when planning the foundation and basement. These works should be carried out late or early, when the groundwater level is at its highest.
Having received the conclusion of geotechnical studies, you can plan the possibility of building a basement - if too high level groundwater, building a basement can increase the value of a home by 30 percent or more. Perhaps, with sufficient area land plot Instead of a basement, additional space is more appropriate.
Based on the type and height of the foundation, decide on the type of material from which the house will be made, and proceed to the actual design of the house and drawings. It is more economical and efficient to do a simple house project. The more bends in the walls, the higher the cost of the project. The same applies to home. In addition, a roof of complex shape is less reliable, since the more bends and joints, the greater the likelihood that over time a leak may form in these places.
For greater energy efficiency, plan non-residential premises(, bathrooms, utility rooms) on the north side of the house, and residential areas on the other sides. Remember that the location and size of windows also influence the energy consumption of a future home. thermal insulation materials.

Quite a lot of people are faced with the problem of designing a house. For a person who has never come into contact with this issue, it can be difficult. In order to properly design a house, you must follow some rules.
Instructions
Initially, decide on the dimensions, regardless of what you are going to draw (existing or). In order to get a high-quality plan, just take a tape measure and take measurements as accurately as possible. If you draw the building you are designing, use more imagination.
Label the vertical axes with letters of the Russian alphabet, and the horizontal axes with numbers. Draw along the intended axes. After that show inside the building interior walls and partitions. Draw windows and doors in the required places on the walls (also indicate the direction in which they open). All partitions must be shown with a stroke.
Show the location of instruments and equipment in accordance with their functional purpose (for example, and). Set the reference number (circle with a number inside). Enter in the table the explication numbers that correspond to this room. Indicate the staircases on the plan, ventilation ducts, floor level marks, window numbers and.
Once you have drawn up the plan, install. The entire building must be indicated. You also need to show the connection of each partition, door and window. Take the plan scale to be 1:100, i.e. 1 meter in reality is 10 mm in the drawing. If this scale is not suitable due to the dimensions of the building, you can take a scale of 1:50 or 1:200. Sign ready plan(“Plan of the 1st floor”). Make an explication, which is a table of 3 columns (1 - explication number, 2 - name of the room, 3 - area of the room). Place all this on a sheet with a frame and a stamp.
If you were unable to draw the project yourself, then you should turn to specialists.

Tip 13: Where to see example projects frame houses
Thanks to frame houses, you can easily create a comfortable atmosphere in the area. Today such buildings are very popular. And this is not surprising. Prefabricated houses are built in a short time, and most importantly, it is much cheaper than brick or. With the growing popularity on frame houses The number of offers is also increasing. On the company's websites you can not only find out information about the developer, but also choose a frame house project that suits you.
A large list of projects is presented on the website of the Strela K group of companies. Here you can find frame houses of various layouts and sizes. All images are accompanied detailed descriptions materials used and other important information. In addition, the company offers special conditions: any project can be changed according to the wishes of the customer.
Company " Lucky house" also posted quite a few on her website interesting projects, where everyone will find something suitable. There is a huge selection here, from a small, economical standard “house” to luxury hotels and sports complexes. Here you can even find ones whose total area exceeds 400 square meters.
The well-known construction company "Zodchiy", which specializes in frame houses, has also prepared an excellent selection of projects. The developer offers a huge variety of building options, finishing materials, as well as individual.

If you do not want to live side by side with strangers and see only friends or relatives as neighbors, then the best solution for you would be to build a house for two families. The main thing is to think through the construction project in detail.
Where to begin
You should start designing a two-family house by determining the area, number of floors and the presence of additional buildings in your future home. Make a table in which you describe the approximate dimensions of the house, namely:
total area
- Living space
- Dimensions
- Availability of a garage
- Availability of an attic
- Availability of a swimming pool
- Number of floors
Based on this data, you will already design the “filling” of the house and the surrounding area. The optimal total area is about 300 sq.m., living area is about 130 sq.m., dimensions are 16*12 meters. The garage is designed either on the ground floor or as a separate building. The same applies to the pool - it can be located outside, or maybe inside the house. In the latter case, you will have to include in the project an additional room for the pool, which is usually shared. It’s better not to give up the attic, especially since the finishing attic floor You can always put it off indefinitely, and some extra space, no matter how small, never hurts.
As a rule, they design a “mirror” house in which all the rooms are symmetrical. It's easier and cheaper. That is, you draw up a plan for one half of the house, and then mirror it to the second half. However, everything depends on the wishes of the future owners, who have the right to independently think through and change the layout.
Cardinal directions
Be sure to pay attention to the cardinal directions. When creating a project, make sure that common wall faced east or west, and the front side of the house faced north or south. This way, neither of the two parts of the house will be illuminated more than the other.
First and second floors
On the ground floor there is usually an entrance hall, boiler room, bathroom, living room, kitchen, dining room and small bedroom. When drawing up a house drawing, pay attention to the fact that the dining room and bathroom are located at different ends of the house. Place the fireplace on a common wall.
The second floor is usually sleeping. There are bedrooms, children's rooms and a second bathroom.
Local area
Don't forget about the local area. You can design it in two ways. The first method involves a common courtyard, in which there is a common garden, a gazebo, a place to relax and, possibly, a swimming pool. The second design option is to divide the local area into two parts and install a fence between them. A separate layout is good because it creates a feeling of maximum privacy, in which the neighborhood becomes less burdensome.
Build own house, so that it meets all the requirements, wishes and even dreams of all family members is not easy. Its foundation is laid at the design stage. Therefore, the more the owner of the house does independent work, especially since the home will correspond to his wishes.
Instructions
At the first stage, it is necessary to develop a preliminary design. You don't need any special artistic talent to accomplish this task. Show a little patience, armed with a school ruler and with a simple pencil. However, remember that this stage is decisive, because, in fact, during the work, an architectural and planning solution for the designed structure will be developed.
Next, decide how the attic will be used and whether there is a need for it. Not only internal amenities depend on these nuances, but also appearance facade of the building. Think very seriously about what kind of roof to make in your house: gable or hipped, this is one of the key parameters.
In the second stage, develop all structural details. Now you will need a special one to calculate the parameters of load-bearing structures, determine the depth and type of the house, as well as the type of basement waterproofing. Remember, the safety and reliability of the entire building depends on what the foundation of the house will be.
Helpful advice
1. If you do not have a special engineering education, then limit yourself to preliminary design, on the basis of which specialists will make both a house project and a set of technical documentation.
2. Nowadays there are many ready-made projects on offer; you can choose the one that best suits your requirements. If necessary, ask the developers to change the project in the part that you are not happy with. This is the most cheap option get the required house design.
Tip 16: Create a Project one-story house: coziness and comfort of living
Low-rise construction is at the peak of popularity today. Interest in such buildings is fueled by Western trends, where problems with resettlement large quantities families in fairly small areas is solved precisely through practical, but at the same time comfortable low-rise construction.
A one-story house is one of the most practical in terms of caring for it. However, in order for the house to turn out perfect, it is necessary to think through the design of the future structure very carefully and well.
What to consider when creating a one-story house project
The main advantage of a one-story house project is that you don’t have to think about how to place and secure such a part of the interior as the staircase. This means that the house is ideal for older people and young families with small children. After all, the first ones won’t have to climb every step, and the second ones won’t have to worry that the kids will fall and get hurt.
When drawing up a project for a one-story house, it is very important to think about the location of the exit. As a rule, in such a situation this is a direct exit to the site or terrace. The terrace can be either open or closed. Moreover, in the second case, due to the roof, the total area of the house will increase.
It is also worth considering the location of the garage. It can be an extension to the side of the house, or it can be located in the garage.
By the way, you can refuse the garage, since it can easily be replaced by a small area. There is also no need to be afraid of precipitation, because the car can always be protected with a special car cover.
Very often, when designing a one-story house, owners are afraid that they will not be able to comfortably accommodate everything, even down to technical details - plumbing pipes, wiring, boiler, etc. In fact, the problem is easily solved by using a basement. After all, it can easily accommodate both a boiler room and a plumbing cabinet. And this is also very practical, since you don’t have to destroy half the house for repairs; everything can be done in one place. You can also place a laundry room in the basement, thereby significantly saving space in the bathroom. So it turns out that small house usually elongated and is a rectangle.
Naturally, when drawing up a project for a one-story house, many nuances should be taken into account. So, for example, one of the main ones is that you need to place all the rooms and other useful premises on one floor. But in fact, this is even better, since in this case the room will work at 100%. Of course, you will have to think carefully about how best to arrange the rooms. For example, you can make the bedroom a little smaller, and add extra meters to the nursery or living room where you will gather in the evenings.
Another nuance that must be observed when drawing up a house project is the type of roof of your cottage. It can be flat (which is not particularly good for a small house), or it can be sloping, or without, with or without an attic. The size and appearance of both the roof itself and the house as a whole depend on this.
Of course, you should not ignore the material from which the house will be made. It is this parameter that determines the type of house.
House type
There are several types of different types houses, from which it will be difficult to choose the one you like special labor. The list includes:
- a simple one-story house;
- American style house;
- Vacation home;
- house in rustic style;
- house made of timber;
- brick;
- a house with or without an attic;
- a house with a terrace (both covered and open);
- brick with finishing;
- a house with a central layout;
- large country or country house;
- house with garage.
Each type of house has its own advantages and disadvantages, taking into account which you can choose for yourself ideal home. A simple one-story house is a small-sized housing mainly rectangular shape, in which all the premises necessary for human life are successfully located. The main advantage of such houses is that they are quite affordable and affordable for more citizens than brick ones.
Especially good small houses for small areas. They are easily placed where there are not many acres, and it is necessary that they work as efficiently as possible.
The American-style house is made of clapboards and light tiles. The house itself is also quite bright. As a rule, it contains several bedrooms, a nursery, a living room, a laundry room, a kitchen and several bathrooms and toilets.
A house in a rustic style is distinguished by the special beauty of its appearance. It is usually built either from solid wood or specially prepared beams. Such a structure is especially environmentally friendly and comfortable. These houses are especially good for families with children.
A house made of timber is one of the most economical options. In addition, it is very easy to give free rein to your imagination and place the walls as you please.
The brick option is one of the most durable. It is best suited for the construction of houses in which it is planned to live for more than one decade. True, the cost of such a structure is quite high. If you are not satisfied with the appearance of the brick, cover it with siding. And then it will become more modern and interesting.
A center-plan home is a structure in which the entire layout comes from one central room, such as the living room. So, you can place the living room in the center, and on opposite sides of it the bedroom, dining room, kitchen, laundry room, etc.
Ready-made houses
If you don’t really want to bother with drawing up a house project, you can use the service “ ready house" These are made to order and are lightweight. The finished structure is brought to the site and installed in a matter of hours.
However, such houses also have a noticeable disadvantage. They are unlikely to pass for a permanent structure. For summer cottage plot, of course, a good option, but not particularly suitable as a home for living. To turn it into a fully residential one, you will have to make a lot of effort.
Frame houses
Frame houses are especially popular today. This is due to the ease of their installation and practicality of use. The basis of such buildings is, naturally, a frame. In addition to this, the manufacturer immediately offers Wall panels, and accessories for fastening - strapping, rafters, beams, etc. In addition, highly efficient material is offered for wall insulation.
Such houses are considered quite reliable, while being small and cozy. They also cost quite a bit, which is why they have become popular among builders.
Everyone wants to create a design project kitchens according to your taste and preferences. But to do this, sometimes you have to run around many furniture stores in search of something ideal option, which you imagine in your imagination. Of course, you can request this service from professional designers, but such a service will cost you a pretty penny. Isn't it better to try to master all the tricks yourself? project rationing kitchens?
apartments
You need to draw up a kitchen project before starting repair work, before purchase building materials. The project is necessary for proper placement gas equipment, water supply and sanitation systems.
Initial design stage
The kitchen is a difficult place from a design point of view. It is necessary to take into account many nuances: where the sink will be located, where electrical devices, where gas or electric stove. The first step is to decide on the functional part of the kitchen. You should make a list of all electrical and gas appliances in order to do the wiring correctly and provide the owners with the required number of sockets.During repairs, you should immediately provide for the installation of meters for water, gas, and the installation of an air conditioning system. Because if this is not done right away, in the future you will have to break what has already been repaired. The selection of materials is carried out in accordance with state standards.
Flammable and combustible mixtures and materials must not be used in the kitchen.
Create a kitchen project
An integral part of the kitchen - kitchen set. Most of the time is spent on its design. After all, you have to rationally place all the built-in appliances and make sure that the housewife feels comfortable while preparing food. You need to estimate the number of things and objects that need to be placed. Then decide on the number of cabinets - wall-mounted or floor-standing. Before designing a set, you need to purchase all the equipment, including a refrigerator, in order to know the exact dimensions. Otherwise, it may turn out that the refrigerator does not fit and you have to move it to another room or corridor.Some software environments for interior design are freely available: KitchenDraw, Interior Design. You don't need any skills to assemble your kitchen from separate modules. Using these programs you can draw everything from a table to LED lamps, immediately set the color of the facades, the material from which the floor or walls will be made. In other words, you will get a 3D model of the future kitchen.
Guided by a paper and electronic project, it is easier to select furniture, accessories, household appliances, Construction Materials.
Lighting system
An important stage in the design of any room is light. It is necessary to take into account the level natural light and take care of the artificial. Dishwashers are most often located in the corner of the room, which lacks proper lighting. This should be taken into account. You can make built-in lamps in cabinets and bedside tables to see 100% of their contents. You also need to take care of the main light source.The 21st century, with its developed technologies, greatly simplifies life, both in everyday affairs and in professional activities. Architects have long stopped using paper, pencil or ruler to create plans. Moreover, this process itself has become much simpler, more productive and more interesting, reminiscent of a game rather than painstaking work. Now everyone can design their dream home using free interior design and apartment planning programs. Don't know where to start? We'll tell you!
1. Astron Design
You can start with the Astron program, which allows you to arrange objects in a room with the desired parameters. This is not a multidisciplinary design tool, but the installed functionality is quite enough to think through projects.
You can choose your own finishing option for key partitions by first specifying their dimensions. Having imagined a little or calculated everything down to the smallest detail, you can place furniture, decor, and also decide on the location of doors and windows in the created space. A relatively large catalog is quite enough for this.
2. SketchUp
There are two versions of the program: paid, with extended functionality for professionals, and free. But this does not mean that the second option provides limited opportunities for creating renders.
With its help, you will be able to design high-quality three-dimensional design models, “playing” with the layout, colors, and furniture. The only negative is the small variety of objects, but they are easy to find on the Internet.
After downloading SketchUp, you can immediately start working, since the interface is very simple and intuitive. An important tool is the ability to sign the dimensions of individual elements.
The finished render is posted on the Internet, or vice versa - they look for inspiration there, studying other people's works.
Interestingly, this program is suitable not only for designing houses and apartments - it can be used to create three-dimensional models of a site, road, car or other objects.
3. Sweet Home 3D
This program may not satisfy serious designers, but average users may find it quite useful and, most importantly, simple. Sweet Home 3D will not help you create complex projects, but small experiments with this application are easy to carry out. For example, if you want to see what the closet next to the sofa will look like, and whether it is worth placing the TV against this wall. In just five minutes you can easily sketch out a floor plan.
Unfortunately, the established catalog of objects is not large enough, offering no variation in shapes, sizes or fittings. This could be a significant drawback if the missing items could not be downloaded from the official website, but this issue is easily resolved. Sweet Home 3D is a foreign program, but for users who do not understand English well, there is good news: there is a Russian version.
4. IKEA Home Planner
If you are thinking about buying Ikea furniture, then this free program will definitely come in handy. It is very simple and clear, it allows you to think through the interior of rooms using furniture from a Dutch manufacturer. You can select the necessary item from the catalog by selecting the size, style, fittings or color scheme.
The Ikea catalog is quite extensive - from large sets to various little things, which allows you to create a complete interior by calculating its cost. IKEA Home Planner provides the ability to save your work and complete the purchase of all selected items. A high-quality picture in 3D format will help you evaluate the selected design in detail.
Ikea also has a separate kitchen design program called IKEA Kitchen Planner. The principle of operation is the same, but the choice of furniture specifically for these spaces is much wider, so we recommend downloading this application separately.
5.Homestyler
An excellent program for interior design and apartment planning from the creators of 3ds Max and AutoCAD.
Having launched Homestyler, you need to choose one of three proposed functions: interior from scratch, use of a ready-made scheme or a ready-made project from an extensive gallery. At the same time, you will have many finishing options at your disposal, color solutions and real pieces of furniture that are included in the catalogs of famous brands.
6. Planoplan
Another tool for creating interiors with real furniture from stores, instead of fictitious models. There are three ways to work with the program: an online service, a free demo version or a paid version for professionals. At the same time, Planoplan continues to constantly develop and update itself. Another advantage is the presence of a Russian interface.
When working on the interior of an apartment, you can come up with a layout yourself or choose standard options. There is a virtual tour function finished project with the ability to view on a smartphone.
Planoplan is suitable not only for thinking general layout, but also more detailed points. For example, to track how the shadow will move throughout the day, you can adjust the sunlight depending on the time of day. Many of the materials you use for your interiors have specifications. To understand all the functions, the site has video instructions that will clearly demonstrate the program management system.
7. PRO100
Unlike other online services and programs with a simple interface, you will have to spend a little time learning PRO100. This is a more professional application that allows you to transform every detail of the selected element: from texture to transparency. The demo version has limited functionality, but for planning or sketching it is enough.
A curious property that is rarely found in free programs for interior design and apartment planning: the ability to independently draw any object, adjusting its shape, size or texture, especially if you have goods from the store in mind. Before starting work, you need to specify the parameters of the premises, after which you can design the house of your dreams.
8. Interior design 3D
This program offers a comprehensive catalog of furniture, finishes and colors. Of course, the trial version limits the real properties, but they are quite enough to create a high-quality render.
Create your own layout by specifying exact parameters or choosing standard ones that are constantly added to the program database.
A simple interface in Russian, which is important. You can “walk through” the finished apartment project using the virtual tour function. The 3D planner offers you to save the finished plan, edit it or print it.
In general, the product is not much different from similar ones, but it is suitable for those who do not want to spend a lot of time mastering a new planner.

How to draw a drawing on a computer using KOMPAS-3D
The welcome screen looks like this.
Select File>New from the top menu. Then select "Slice" as the format for the drawing.
Now you can start the drawing itself. To make it easier to draw in COMPASS 3D, you should turn on the grid display. This is done by pressing the appropriate button.
If you need to change the grid spacing, click on the drop-down list next to the same button and select “Customize parameters”.
All tools are available in the menu on the left, or in the top menu along the path: Tools>Geometry.
To disable a tool, simply click on its icon again. To enable/disable snapping when drawing, there is a separate button on the top panel.
Select necessary tool and start drawing.
You can edit the drawn element by selecting it and right-clicking. After this, you need to select “Properties”.
By changing the parameters in the window on the right, you can change the location and style of the element.
Complete the drawing using the tools available in the program.
After you have drawn the required drawing, you will need to add callouts with dimensions and notes to it. To specify dimensions, use the tools in the “Dimensions” item by clicking the corresponding button.
Select the required tool (linear, diametrical or radial dimension) and add it to the drawing, specifying the measurement points.
To change the parameters of a leader, select it, then select the required values in the parameters window on the right.
A callout with text is added in the same way. Only for it there is a separate menu, which opens with the “Notations” button. This is where leader lines are found, as well as simple addition of text.
The final step is to add a specification table to the drawing. To do this, in the same set of tools, use the “Table” tool.
Joining multiple tables different sizes, you can create a full-fledged table with the specification for the drawing. Table cells are filled by double clicking the mouse.
As a result, you will get a complete drawing.
Any construction requires preliminary preparation. It all starts with the creation of a project, which indicates the features of the future structure. Previously, such documentation was created manually, now there are special computer programs.
The architect can tell you more about the technical side of the project; these are the specialists who design all the buildings. Professionally drawn up design documentation will allow you to avoid mistakes during the construction process.
Where to begin
To be able to draw up a house project on a computer, you need to install a program that can cope with this task. There are a variety of software available today, the most popular are:
- Ashampoo Home Designer 2.0 allows you to design a building in three-dimensional space. Thanks to a special function, you can see the building to scale. This will allow you to understand what the future structure will look like. In addition, you can arrange furniture and plan the placement of other objects on the site;
- Online services will allow you to create a house project without downloading and installing programs. There are different sites on the Internet; from this number, everyone can choose something most suitable for themselves.
Using special programs or resources, you can draw a dream house, and the computer will perform all the calculations itself.
Creating a Project
After entering the program, you need to draw a building design that matches your dimensions. By choosing different tools, you can display doors, windows and other elements of the house.
When designing the second floor, you simply need to copy the already created elements of the first, and simply indicate the main dimensions of the premises.
The roof is also being constructed. The libraries available in the program will allow you to select the required element. You can choose the desired texture, color and material.
The internal layout of a building requires certain knowledge, e.g. standard sizes modern furniture. The program database contains all this data. You will be able to place samples of furniture in the designed house to evaluate the created space.
When creating projects, professional architects must take into account many different nuances that make living in a house comfortable. Having a special program, anyone who has a computer and knows how to use it can cope with this task.
