Design of indonesia house 1

In design of Indonesia house, i will show you (free without any charge) some design of houses that have been built in Indonesia by some developer accompany and also my design. I drawn the design (sketch and perspective) myself by using autocad program. I hope it can be referency for you to know about Indonesia houses and to build your house (if you like design of indonesia house). So enjoy it and have fun.
In design of indonesia house 1, i will share about sketch and perspective of house that has been built in Indonesia, klipang street, middle java. Maybe the perspective of house is not same as the real one, but in this blog i just want to share what i imagine when i saw the sketch of the house. Hope you can use it as referency when you want to build your own house or when you want to design yours. Ok have fun and always playing your imagination, don't stop it. See you..

SKETCH

I think when you want to design a house, you have to design the sketch for the first time. Then you can develop it from the sketch as you want. In this posting i share you the sketch that i made after i hunted the information of that house. See it, learn it, imagine the sketch that you want and draw it. Have fun...

PERSPECTIVE

After you drawn the sketch, you will come in a more difficult step. You have to design the form of your house. Perspective is the form of your house in 3 dimension. In this step you need more consentration and good imagination. Usually for the beginner get more difficult. So i recommand that the beginner to look for some referency. In this posting i also share you a simple perspective that i made from the sketch. See it, learn it and practice. Show your imagination. Have fun and good luck.

Layers and UCS | Autocad 3D

In this lesson, i will tell about how to make everything that we draw is under our control. Layers dan UCS are the topic today. As we know sometimes we will do some complicate home work that make our head get headache. For example when we want to draw a house, there are so many thing that we want to draw (window, door, bed room, roof, bath room, etc). So, to manage all of this we need some controling.

1. Layers
To make everything easy and simple to do, we have to manage what we want to draw by using layer properties manager. Just click layer properties manager (under command 'qnew') and you will find many command. Start it by clicking command 'new'. Named it and you can also choose the colour Of layer. As you choose the colour of layer, you have choosen the colour of drawing that you want to draw. For example: first you want to draw the bed room, click 'layer properties manager' then 'new'. Named it 'bed room' and choose 'white' then begin to draw. After finish it if you want to draw the door, click 'layer properties manager' then 'new', named it 'door' and choose 'brown' (i recomended you choose a different colour in each part of drawing) then begin to draw. When you are drawing and you lose your focus because so many lines and rectang from 'bed room', you can manage it by using 'layer properties manager'. Click the arrow in the right of layer properties manager, choose 'bed room' and click the picture of lamp. 'Bed room' is hidden. that's what happenned, so now you can contionue to draw 'door' without losing your focus again. When you want to see it again just click like before.

2. UCS
Sometimes in drawing we will meet a complicate problem. For example see in lesson 2 about slice. When we want to cut a thing by using command slice, we have to create an object with a different coordinat. In this case we need command 'ucs'. Look at the picture 2.4a, there is a rectang inside the box. To make rectang we need to change the coordinat. Write command 'ucs' in the command place and enter, then write 'n' (new) and enter, after that click 3 point (it means where we gonna put x,y,z is) in the box, then draw the rectang.

Ok that's all i want to share to you about autocad 3d. I hope you can enjoy this sharing and always keep practice...
see you...

Extrude | Slice | Union | Subtract | AutoCad 3D

In this lesson, we will learn about command that we use to draw in 3 dimension. This lesson is the main point from autocad 3 dimension, so pay attention. There are just a few of command in autocad 3 dimension that i want you to remember.

1. Extrude.
This command can be written as 'ext' in command place. This command make our drawing in 2 dimension (ex : rec= rectang) become a solid thing in 3 dimension.
For example : command rec, click in anywhere @10,10 enter then command ext enter path = 10 enter extrusion = 0 enter. We can see the result like the picture 2.1.

picture2.1

2. Subtract
This command can be found in Modify, solid editing, then click subtract. This command is used to make a new form from 2 object (the same or different form or size, it does'nt matter) by subtracting one object with another. Let see the difference from the example and the picture.

ex 1 : command 2 rectang with 2 different size (@10,10 and @5.5) put this 2 object in the same position. Then extrude both with the same size (path =10, extrusion =0). Click modify, solid editing, click subtract and select object that we want to be a new form, enter then select another one. See the result by looking at the picture 2.2a

picture 2.2a

ex 2 : command rectang (@10,10) and circle (diameter = 5). Put this 2 object in the same position then extrude both with the same size (path =10, extrusion =0). click modify, solid editing click subtract and select rectang, enter then select circle. See the result by looking at the picture 2.2b

picture 2.2b

3. Union
This command can be found in Modify, solid editing, then click union. This command is used to make a new form from 2 object (the same or different form, it does'nt matter) by unioning one object with another. Let see the difference from the example and the picture.

ex 1 : command 2 rectang with 2 different size (@10,10 and @5.5) put this 2 object in the different position but still part of them connected. Then extrude both with the same size (path =10, extrusion =0). click modify, solid editing, click union and select one object, select another one and enter. See the result by looking at the picture 2.3a.

picture 2.3a

ex 2 : command rectang (@10,10) and circle (diameter = 5) put this 2 object in the different position but still part of them connected. Then extrude both with the same size (path =10, extrusion =0). click modify, solid editing, click union and select one object, select another one and enter. See the result by looking at the picture 2.3b.

picture 2.3b

4. Slice
This command can be written as 'sl' in command place. This command make our one object in 3 dimension is separated in two object. We can separate our 3 dimension object in anywhere angle point. But first we have to create an object as the cutter, then put it in every angle point of 3 dimension that we want to separate.

for example : the object that we want to separate is the result of ex 2 union (pic 2.3b). rec enter put it in every point that we want to separate. Look at the picture 2.4a.

picture 2.4a

Then write 'sl' in command place, click objeck 3 dimension then write 'o' (for object), then click rectang and write 'b' (for keep both side). After this we can choose which side that we want to erase. See the result by looking at the picture 2.4b.

picture2.4b

All right, we finish our lesson for this day. With this 4 command, you can draw a house or machine if you want. so simple, don't you think so? I hope you can enjoy and get fun with this lesson. Have a nice day.
See you in next lesson..

Efisiency Coordinated | AutoCad 3D

To learn about Autocad 3D, we must have a good imagination about something we want to draw. This is something thatI want everyone know before they learn about autocad 3D. In this lesson, i want to make a little explanation about coordinate. In 2D we know that there are 2 coordinate (x,y) but in 3D there are 3 coordinate (x,y,z). Is important to understand about this because to draw something we have to coordinate that thing. Not just to draw but also to make what we want to draw efisiency (e.x: copy, move etc.) for example to make a solid box, make command rec enter @8,10 then command ext enter 5 enter. If you want to copy just enter the coordinate where you want to copy
example : write command co enter @20,0,0 enter

write command co enter @0,20,0 enter

write command co enter @0,0,20 enter

look at the picture and you will know the difference
Do the same thing for the command of Move and you will see the same difference too.
Ok this is only the beginning tips and tricks how to learn autocad 3d.
see you next lesson
thanks...

Introduction of Autocad 3D

AutoCad 3D Introduction

A lot of people said that was difficult and boring to learn autocad especially autocad 3d. In this blog i want to show and share to you that to learn autocad 3d is not as difficult and boring as people know. Is it needed a good imagination to learn autocad 3d? yes it is but i am sure that everybody have a good imagination. A good imagination is needed because in autocad 3d we learn to draw something in 3 dimension. A good imagination is the key how to learn autocad 3d. I will show you how simply to learn autocad 3d is. I took it in 3 catagories ( lesson 1, lesson 2, lesson 3 ). In every lesson will show you how simply to learn autocad 3d. You just need to remember a few command and a little explanation but needed more practice. So it won't make you get boring. In this case, i assume that you already know about autocad 2d. Ok that's all i want to say.

Have fun...

Kelowna Design - Inspiration by Nadine Andrews

I've been very fortunate to work with Nadine Andrews on several projects and she has helped my clients and I over come space issues in both new and renovation projects. This article revolves around finding inspiration in the design process.

Looking for inspiration for a new decorating or design project can be a very daunting process. Inspiration is a personal and individual thing, therefore, what might prove to be inspiring for one person won’t necessarily be inspiring to another. However the process of looking for inspiration isn’t something that changes with personalities. Below are some of the most common areas to look for inspiration and how to pull together the ideas from what you see.

• Inspiration can be as close as your clothes closet. Look inside to see which colours you purchase the most of. These colours are generally the colours that you are most drawn to. Usually you will see a colour pallet come through.

• Themes are a good way to become inspired for a specific room or area of the home. Basically a theme is the main idea of a room. For example “fairies” could be the theme for a little girls bedroom, or “old world library” could be the theme for a home office. Choosing a theme allows you to pose the question “Does this fit with the theme?” towards all of your potential decorating ideas and purchases for the room. If the answer to the question is no, then you can quickly put down the object in question and continuing searching for the perfect piece.

• Fabric stores can provide great sources of inspiration for a decorating project. Having a theme before going to the fabric store can help to narrow down the choices, but if you haven’t gotten that far just start browsing the different textures and colour combinations. Purchase small samples of fabrics that you like, including any coordinating fabrics (stripes, checks, plaids, or solids) that you might be able to use for accents and trims.

• Interior design magazines provide a source of photos from a wide range of decorating styles. They are also a great source for looking at current trends. When looking through the magazines, don’t spend too much time analyzing what it is that you like about a picture. If you like the look or feel of a room shown, tear the page out and move on. Once you have accumulated a pile of pages you can go back through to see whether you are still feeling inspired by the picture. You should begin to see a common thread between all of the pictures that you have accumulated. For example, the majority may lead towards a more traditional style of decorating, or they all might have dark coloured hardwood floors.

• Other places of inspiration can include showhomes, websites, friends’ homes, photos, area rugs, and artwork. Take pictures of items or designs that you like and make sure that you ask specific questions about paint colours or the place of purchase.

• Compiling all of the sources of inspiration and ideas into a scrapbook or design file will allow for quick and easy access when you want to look back at an image. Divide the file into sections such as pictures, samples, furniture, etc. Glue or tape samples onto white pages and insert into the file or scrapbook. Make sure that you make notes about what the piece is or why you’ve included it. For example, “Really like this faucet” or “These colours remind me of Hawaii.”

Remember that sources of inspiration are truly just that, inspiration. It is the personal interpretation of this inspiration that will inject your space with personality and truly make it your own.

HOBBY ROOMS

How many hobbies do you have? Is it challenging for you to find a great space to actually work on your craft? Your hobby materials may be in several rooms throughout your home.

Whether you need an extra bedroom for guests or for a growing family, more room to entertain, or a home office, hobby room, or workshop, creating new spaces in your home is an exciting adventure. Almost all basements are good candidates for remodeling. They contain large quantities of unused space which allows you to design it for almost any use.

Tips for Planning New Hobby Room
Here are some more ideas to consider when you plan a habitable space in the basement:
**Include plenty of window area for light and ventilation.
**Provide adequate support for the wall above the window.
**Install a light switch close inside the door.
**Install hardwired smoke alarms.
**Soundproof the basement ceilings to keep family noise out of your private retreat.
**Consider a half-bath close to the hobby room.

Example-->

Model Railroad Construction

Clear space in basement. You will need at least 6m2 of clear space.

A how-to publication for model railroad construction. Includes layouts, track plans, and prototype information.
