This is an outstanding material. I study architecture and do high complexity in Grasshopper however THE BASICS are super important along the way. I study these videos and combine them with the hardest exercises out there to sharpen my skills on the basics, the intermediate and the highly complex and advanced such as data trees, path mappers, lists, ranges, series and logical circuits. Parametric architecture IS differential equations with logic and geometry. However the basic plan MATTERS.

The basic door, floor pattern, ramp, stairs, window and the FURNITURE matters. This is the heart and soul of architecture. Excellent video like this should happen so often. A great start for everybody and an invitation to the journey of architecture. The four principles are the layer ordering, the ORGANIZATION of FILES and props, the plan template and LINE language. Anyone who practice architecture SHOULD BE A DRAFTSMAN FIRST.

I'm 100% new and just practicing/understanding how to use the commands alone is huge! My boss wants me to learn how to draw very intricate blueprints within the next couple of months and this program is pretty overwhelming. I have looked through so many videos but haven't found many people who use a simple 2d (because I'm not ready for 3d yet, even though I will need it eventually) examples and draw with you. Thanks so much for the simplicity you bring to such complicated software for beginners.

thank you so much nearly all the students in my school know how to draw graphs on computer I urgently need the video like this to learn

please do create contents like this really helped alot its very simple and informaive basics . thanks ma'am 😊

Victoria I work in the manufacturing and construction side of architecture in the GTA. In 2009 I took a course in Rhino and purchased Rhino 4.0 and did some self training as there was very little training on the internet at the time and the local training was high priced and geared towards jewelry arts and 3D printing. Also there seemed to be little interest locally for Rhino, here in the GTA and in Canada as a whole as well. Has that changed much in this decade because I am considering an upgrade in the software and some new learning online? I believe it could be useful as I have worked for a local company that needed digital models in lieu of hand built as many artists that did those hand crafted models were retiring and not being replaced. For that work I used MoI 3D which was designed and sold by one of the lead developers for Rhino when AutoDesk was considering it as a part of their line up of products. Sort of a Rhino light version also NURBS. I also do work currently for a large company that might be in the future more interested in this possible additional talent. What sort of work is out there locally for people good at Rhino but not necessarily architects themselves in your experience if any please?

Very good video.

However, there's a way to complete your layout drawing much faster with some more deeper understanding of Rhino. It will save time as it doesn't require any fillet, trim, offset, copy or any repetitive commands. We accidentally found the workfkow while researching for the best method in drawing 2d house layout.

Placing blocks like doors and windows would also require no trimming at all.

And the best part is, it requires no script or programming.

Hi! When I offset it connects the inner and out walls. I am unable to simply select and delete the center part of the wall. Im at the 6:30 mark. I am doing an outside offset of 3" and inside offset the same.

coulnd't you already extract lines from the .pdf? I guess using Illustrator and then import all the lines from the floor-plan into Rhino?

[emmetgreene]

I'm new to this software. I highly appreciate your video. Can you do a full working drawings using Rhino?

[jiangtao]

i am new to Rhino. I just wonder if we can use Autocad and revit to draw this kind of 2d drawings, what is the point of drawing them in Rhino?

[OliveOilandGasoline]

Whst about a video making a 2D floor plan into 3D?

[nicolafiorelli]

ugh, why can’t rhino have short commands like Autocad - I can’t stand the fact that every time I find a cheaper alternative to cad has, it has to fail at basic features
