In this video tutorial, learn how to design and implement railings and columns in your architectural projects. We demonstrate step-by-step instructions, from creating glass railings with specific styles to adjusting their position and material properties. The tutorial also covers the process of designing columns as both space dividers and railings, showcasing techniques to duplicate and position them accurately within the project space.
In this video tutorial, we conclude by creating the closing slab for a building. Demonstrating step by step, we copy the slab to the second level, adjust its material and alignment, and then refine its edges. We also provide insights into modifying display settings and offers a sneak peek of what's next in the sections. Join and improve your architectural design skills!
In this tutorial video, we'll guide you through creating a roof using the Roof in Sketch mode command. Starting with the basics, we'll demonstrate how to draw and adjust the roof's shape, elevation, overhang, and materials. We'll explore options for roof tiles, ridges, and valleys, along with adjusting projections, cuts, and roof geometry. By the end, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of crafting and customizing a simple roof structure in ARCHLine.XP.
In this video, we walk through the process of creating a firewall using a step-by-step approach. Starting from copying the main wall to the second level, adjusting its height, and extending it to the closing slab, we then shape the firewall in 3D view using guide lines. Demonstrating various commands like Offset, Connecting objects, and Push/Pull, we finalize the firewall's design and material.
Learn how to design 3D gutters and downspouts in ARCHLine.XP. Follow along as we demonstrate step-by-step placement and customization, including choosing profiles, adjusting offsets, selecting materials, and positioning downspouts for a comprehensive gutter system.
