Thank you so much for your hard work . This is a fantastic tutorial once you conquer the ground floor wall creation as a number of the dimensions are missing. I imported the PDF into autocad and scaled it with one of the known wall dimensions to get them accurately. I have a pdf with the missing ones if anyone needs it. Apart from that an excellent architectural lesson.

Love these videos CAD in black! Your videos are an amazing resource for me as I become more familiar with AutoCAD. As someone pointed out in the comment section, some of the dimensions are missing. It would be great if you can update the PDF file with these dimensions. Thank you so much and keep these lovely videos coming!

Hi Sir, why are some wall 350mm and some wall 400mm in the pdf, it is so confusing

[nicolecuevas]

I was following along until I got to the arced part of the staircase and ran into a couple issues

1. What do you do if the array goes the opposite direction? I somehow got it to go the correct direction after clicking a bunch but I don't know how I did it.
2. It kept my array as one object, so it wouldn't allow me to extend the the lines unless I extended the original. I ended up just adding lines to the ends of those, but it would not let me join them afterwards. How do I correct this?

[johnajanaku]

link for the PDF so i can get the accurate measurement

[wajidkhan-ccty]

thanks, you very much for your videos I learned a lot from you and really appreciated. I got a bit problem when I select a polyline and put the cursor on one corner and move to the right like what you said and give a proper value to it then doesn't work plz help (video 6.11)

[akosijes]

First, Thank you so much for this.
But maybe you made a mistake. about the staircase. from 1250mm next is 920mm not 870mm. is this part of the test? Pls. correct me if I'm wrong. really learning a lot from you.

[vicXXXable]

Amazing video brother keep up the good work. I have been following the tutorial and drawing at the same time but I have run into a problem. Seems like you have not mentioned the dimension for the right wall of the bathroom area. In the video you put 3450mm but its no where to be found in the pdf. Thanks!

[jenmyeayro]

i'm not sure but i think the measurement of the lobby is not correct

[celestinmwamba]

Nice video. When you create the texts I see that the scale goes from 1:1 to 1:100 which is the scale of the layout. Should I always change the scale to the scale of the layout when creating text ?

[raeisaenenm]

Amazing work! Im working with Intellicad, almost everything the same. Most difficulties with finding the block creator BLOCK AUTHORING PALETTES. But can't be all easy, right :D
