What You'll Learn
  • Basic to advanced point-to-point 3D modeling techniques in Blender
  • Various techniques for creating walls useful for floor plans and architectural design
  • Different methods for creating furniture blocks from scratch and importing from external DWG, DXF, and SVG files

Why Use Blender for Floor Plans?​

Blender is free or more cost-efficient. With Blender, you can replace a lot of expensive tools, such as CAD software, image editing software, 3D modeling software, rendering plugins, and so on. Unlike web apps with limited features in free tiers, Blender provides unlimited professional capabilities at no cost.

Benefits of This Approach​

  1. Asset Library: Once you set up your furniture blocks and materials in the Asset Browser, you can quickly drag and drop assets into your scene. Most of the time when creating floor plans, you only need to create walls and floors.

  2. Import Capabilities: You don't need to create all furniture blocks from scratch. You can download them from the web in DWG, DXF, or SVG formats.

  3. Line Effects: You can easily generate a nice-looking line effect that has a hand-drawing feel to it using grease pencil strokes with a "line-art" modifier. You can specify thickness, colors, line styles, and more to match your own style.
