3D Modeling for Interior Design: Walls & Rooms | Shapr3D Step-by-Step

In the latest of our narrated design series, Autodesk Expert Elite educator Claas Kuhnen demonstrates how to import an architectural image, calibrate it, and then use Shapr3D’s sketching tools to create a variety of views. A great demo of how to leverage Shapr3D’s geometry snapping capabilities for interior design. You can follow along or take it in a completely different direction if you feel like it.

I like the way you say "very good". Feels good 😀

At the start the dimension that the plan was scaled to was incorrect - the reference line should have been 9’-8”, but 9’-6” was input so the whole drawing was out of scale

[Z-add]

This is a good eg of why an MCAD software is tedious for architectural work. You need higher level primitives like walls doors windows etc. You need a way to select a wall and move it while keeping all wall connections intact.

Thanks for this. I’ve been trying to build a room based on my studio and NOTHING was working right. So frustrating. It’s a little distracting in the beginning doing the scale as 9’6” instead of 9’8”, and how the front wall is 17’10” and so far overshoots the laundry room, but so far the drawing hasn’t been scaled to match so none of the walls line up. Trying to follow, but there’s a lot to mentally keep track of so not to get confusing. I love your pacing, and how simple you make it though.

I have just started working with Shapr. First thing you will notice is the total lack of any sort of annotation functions. Without that, this is a fun design toy. There are no print layouts, no notes, title blocks, dimensions, center lines, nothing that takes a drawing and makes it a working drawing.
If the answer is
Export it to your CAD software to do this
then the answer is
In other words, just stick to your CAD software

Would be nice if you remember to describe each tool, not just saying’ I click here and reduce the transparency’... this is a be beginner webinar..

[broccolisalad]

Would help if i didn’t have to pay $400 to add a base photo ;-;

[moibe]

Wow, perfect tutorial, so easy to use! Beautiful!

Hi
What app do you use to record your videos?

[ibnmuhammad]

Can you move the translate tool to the object directly. I used it very often. It’s more convenient.

[Turtleback]

The window alignment should be a drag into position with a smart guide snap confirmation. In other words one should be able to just drag the element into position with the y & x smart guides appearing when dead centre. Or at least a function that’s closer to ‘concentric’ in the case of circles/ellipse. Otherwise Great video.👍🏼

I’m currently modelling a latrine outhouse with a sloping roof for water dispersion. I was hoping to see that in this video. Is there a part 2 by any chance?

I am using this app in my university, how do you get the points you touch on the screen to show up as red dots and also the Apple Pencil being shown in your screen recordings.

[ilanlusky]

can you share the photo that is being used ? of the flor plan

[suxbluessiguitar]

Love this app. Can it export model file to render in another rendering software?

[domiti]

Do u have to have an Apple Pencil and can’t just do it with your finger

[yvescortellini]

This are to many steps for something easy. I wish a funktion like i have in CATIA v5… line can hath thikness . So even open profile can be thiken as a solid . In catia i have to choose inner or outer thikness and so i just h, ave to draw the outer shape and then I’m finished… would love you implement this

[teamlessaisonsdelakermesse]

Hello. I just want to make new models for my hack but I'm stuck in the configuration phase (step 6/7), which says me to switch camera to 3d view and I don't know how to do this.😄

[CivilEngineeringvideos]

make an aircraft 3d design with shapr3d

[johndouglas]

are you allowed to export models to blender or zbrush by any chance?

[tomifan]

can i use alternative pencil for this software?
