Project 1: Designing a Flat
|
|
===========================
|
|
|
|
Building on the skills from Project 0, this tutorial will guide you through designing a complete flat using Bonsai.
|
|
You'll learn more advanced techniques for creating walls and openings, working with profiles, defining rooms and spaces,
|
|
and generating more detailed drawings.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
- Completion of Project 0: Designing a Room
|
|
- Familiarity with basic Bonsai tools and interface
|
|
|
|
Learning Objectives
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
- Create advanced walls and openings
|
|
- Work with profiles for custom architectural elements
|
|
- Define and manage rooms and spaces
|
|
- Use furniture and fixture libraries
|
|
- Generate elevation and section drawings
|
|
|
|
Tutorial Steps
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
1. Project Setup
|
|
----------------
|
|
.. include:: /_incomplete_message.rst
|
|
|
|
1. Open Blender and switch to the Bonsai workspace
|
|
2. Create a new IFC project
|
|
3. Save it as `project1.ifc` file (and optionally, `project1.blend` file)
|
|
4. Load custom libraries and templates
|
|
|
|
.. note:: See :doc:`/guides/authoring/starting_new_project` for detailed instructions.
|
|
|
|
2. Advanced Wall Creation
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Use the "Create Wall" tool to layout the flat's exterior walls
|
|
2. Add interior walls with varying thicknesses
|
|
3. Create curved walls for architectural interest
|
|
4. Apply different materials to walls
|
|
|
|
3. Complex Openings
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Add various door types (sliding, pocket, double)
|
|
2. Create windows with different styles (casement, sliding, bay)
|
|
3. Design a balcony door with sidelight windows
|
|
4. Add skylights or clerestory windows if applicable
|
|
|
|
4. Working with Profiles
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Create a custom cornice profile
|
|
2. Design a baseboard profile
|
|
3. Apply profiles to walls and openings
|
|
4. Create a custom handrail profile for stairs or balcony
|
|
|
|
5. Defining Rooms and Spaces
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Use the "Create Space" tool to define individual rooms
|
|
2. Set room names and numbers
|
|
3. Calculate and display room areas
|
|
4. Assign room finishes (flooring, wall finishes, ceiling)
|
|
|
|
6. Using Furniture and Fixture Libraries
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Import furniture from Bonsai libraries
|
|
2. Place and arrange furniture in each room
|
|
3. Add plumbing fixtures (sinks, toilets, bathtub/shower)
|
|
4. Include kitchen appliances and cabinetry
|
|
|
|
7. MEP Systems
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
1. Design basic electrical layout (outlets, switches, lighting)
|
|
2. Add HVAC elements (vents, radiators)
|
|
3. Create a simple plumbing system
|
|
|
|
8. Stairs and Railings
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Design an internal staircase (if multi-level flat)
|
|
2. Add railings to stairs and balcony
|
|
3. Create landings and adjust riser/tread dimensions
|
|
|
|
9. Generating Drawings
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Create floor plans for each level
|
|
2. Generate elevation drawings (front, back, sides)
|
|
3. Produce section drawings through key areas
|
|
4. Add dimensions, annotations, and labels to all drawings
|
|
|
|
10. Final Touches and Export
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Review and adjust IFC properties for all elements
|
|
2. Create a basic materials and finishes schedule
|
|
3. Generate a set of PDF drawings
|
|
|
|
Conclusion
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
Congratulations on completing the flat design! You've now expanded your skills to include more complex architectural elements, space planning, and detailed drawing generation.
|
|
|
|
Next Steps
|
|
==========
|
|
|
|
- Experiment with different flat layouts and styles
|
|
- Try creating custom families for unique furniture or fixtures
|
|
- Explore more advanced MEP systems
|
|
- Learn about creating custom annotation styles for drawings
|
|
|
|
In the next project, we'll scale up to design a full bungalow, introducing concepts like roof design, foundations, and basic structural elements.
