Video tutorials for architectural design

Please pay attention to the version of FreeCAD used in the tutorial. If a tutorial uses an older version of the program, the general modelling process may still work but some tools may have changed in newer releases. Do not add videos made with version 0.16 or older, as these releases are considered obsolete.

Introduction

The tutorials listed here are those that deal with designing rooms, houses, and other buildings which interesting for architects and civil engineers. For other topics, see the general page video tutorials.

Architectural design

Videos that go through modeling of rooms, houses, office buildings, and similar structures, and drawing floor plans, using workbenches such as Draft and BIM.

• Yorik van Havre playlists: the BIM Workbench main developer has various lists on FreeCAD for building modeling as well as general architecture.

  • Presentation of FreeCAD\'s Arch Workbench: FreeCAD 0.16, presentation for #ODC2016PN.
  • BIM with FreeCAD - Introduction: general introduction to FreeCAD 0.17.
  • BIM with FreeCAD: FreeCAD 0.17 to 0.19, general videos on BIM and and Arch Workbench, including setup, building walls, windows, using 2D objects, and expressions.
  • Barcelona pavilion: FreeCAD 0.18 and 0.19, a series of 17 videos that describes the modeling of the \"Barcelona Pavilion\" (or \"German Pavilion\"), a building in Barcelona designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich in 1929. The videos demonstrate importing geometry from a DXF file, then go on to draw the walls, the windows, the glass panels, the structural elements and roofs, the floor tiles, the terrain, the footings and the stairs. Then it shows how to export the model to IFC, how to create 2D projections in TechDraw, how to work with quantities and schedules, and finally how to create a rendered view of the project in Blender.

• Arch WB Experience: New Workflow: a series of videos by jpg87, hosted in his own website, which teach users to model walls, roofs, and windows and doors in different positions, with the help of sketches.

• Regis Nde Tene\'s playlists: various videos on architectural modelling using Blender and FreeCAD, by Regis Nde Tene, in English and French.

  • FreeCAD Tuts: a series of 16 videos covering a wide range of aspects of Architecture modeling including 2D plan creation, 3D modelling, using constraints, annotations, Arch spaces, rebars, exporting to PDFs, doing curtain walls, using an axis system, creating a multilayer wall, creating a wall cladding, and designing a cabinet.
  • Freecad tuto French: tutorial in French.
  • Elemental - Quinta Monroy: FreeCAD 0.17, a series of 35 videos that completely model the \"Quinta Monroy\" by Elemental. It starts by importing various DXF files for floor and elevation views that can be used as reference, and then proceeds to model the 3D objects such as walls, concrete structures, roofs, windows, and stairs. The series has two types of videos: long videos that show the modelling process in detail, and shorter videos that speed through the process to show the general steps taken in the long video.
  • Blender & Freecad Arch Workflow: a series of 10 videos showing how to create a building in Blender, and exporting the model to FreeCAD.

• UH Studio Design Academy playlists: many videos on architectural design using Blender and FreeCAD, by UH Studio Design Academy.

  • Freecad: FreeCAD 0.18, a series of 7 videos that present various aspects of architectural modeling, parametric building massing, introducing FreeCAD to architects and Revit users, using sketches and parametric relationships, and comparisons with grasshopper and Catia.
