How to Create a 3D Floor Plan in Rhino - BEGINNERS START HERE!

In this video, we're going to talk about how we can model a floor plan in 3D in Rhino. We'll talk about laying out our floor plan, extruding to 3D, adding doors and windows, and adding materials.

If you're getting started with Rhino for Architectural modeling, this video is a good place to start!

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)

[pawfactperfect]

Finally I have found a channel which gives proper instructions. Allah bless you

The video is great.
The link of the floorplan is broken. Could you help to fix it?
Thanks again for your great video.

[EdwardTilley]

Great tutorial! Very applicable to what I am working on right now. Much appreciated!

In(7.30) while creating door, I couldn't draw a rectangle with the midpoints procedded, let someone help me in this

[kummer]

I love this tutorial so much. It is exactly what I was searching for. I made the whole thing in Grasshopper 3D. A basic comprehension of the fundamentals towards complexity is a survival skill. This video shows how, LITERALLY.

I always love reviewing and relearning the fundamentals from a basic level and advanced level approach. This video does both. It teaches confidence, simplicity and most importantly FUN. Yes, fun matters a lot.

Architecture is an adventure, a good tale and the best anecdote about places. :D

The wire cut through gives me no result. How come?

[introspectivearchitecture]

so this powerful tool can make complex design but barely can design simple floor layout.the amount of time it uses to make this plan if its done by using software like chief architect it will take 3 minutes

[sariahbear]

Hey, I'm making some plans right now and I'm wondering how to do the second floor. Should i have done that before I modeled everything on the first floor or can I do it now that the first floor is done? Do i just put a big rectangle on top of it?

Justin brother your content is the only that makes sense and better for slow people like me. Love it brother thank you and will follow you forever. How do I contact you brother

[mitamelwani]

Hi, your video is great. Learning from you. Thanks. I got frustrated trying to use Sketchup as the software crashed frequently. Rhino seems interesting. I like the way you teach - a simplistic approach. I could not find the example floor plan in the link that you provided. I would wait to hear from you. Thanks again. provided.

Is there a way to bring back tool bars Mine disappeared and cant find them, When I try to snap them in place they dont, and my surface tools are not the same as your. I am using 8

How do I make it solid when my Mac doesn’t have that “Solid=No/Yes” tab on the top?

[ytuser]

Hello, I throw material on the outer wall while making a model. This material is also valid for the interior wall. What should I do to prevent this?

[tamlikepam]

Life saver! Rhino's so confusing.

[mayastoyanova]

From where I can download the materials for the Rhino please

[NHSSHINOBI]

It was great to learn and practice, but I prefer Revit or even SketchUp for doing floor plans. Thanks for the tutorial!

You should set the unit interval as 15.0inch. It's missing in the video.

5:44 this part when I enter in the amount (set base) it doesn't do anything ?? does anybody know why
