I think this is the end of LibreCad Tutorial: Simple Floor Plan Workflow Pt.1. Place your cursor to the direction you want, and click. On Status Bar fill the distance value example 500. After that a window will appear and ask you if you want to delete, keep, or multiple copies.Īnother way if you want to create a line that parallel with the original is by using offset tool. Don’t forget to pick your reference point first. To copy, you need to pick the object first then go to modify choose Copy/Move. You can active/deactivated its option while you working. Also don’t forget about the snap feature. The easy way (at least for me) to enter the dimension is by click, drag, and always pay attention to status bar. In Autocad, you can just type the dimension length/width, but you can do that in LibreCad. Just like other CAD program, when you draw a line you need to enter x and y points. On Layer widget, click + sign and fill all the box as you want. Create a Layer:įirst, you need to create a new layer called AS (the middle line of wall object). Above you can see a simple 2d floor plan that I will show you the workflow. And for the Application Preferences, you can set its appearance and drawing unit. Here you can set the paper size & orientation, drawing unit, grid, dimension, and splines. Go to Option and click Current Drawing Preferences. You also can set up application preferences at the same time, but only do it once. But, before that, let’s get to drawing setting first.

In this tutorial serie post, I will show you how to draw a 2d wall object that created by using line, offset, mirror, and other tool.

Anyway, if you just want to draw a simple floor planning workflow, LibreCad get the job done. Or maybe I haven’t discover all the trick yet :). For more clean and effective workflow I still choose Autocad I guess.

My honest opinion is the software still have limitation when it comes to architectural planning, specially for its edit tool. I just use LibreCad for 2 months to draw a simple floor plan.

My transition is like Autocad -> SketchUp -> Blender 3d -> LibreCad. For a person with architecture background, I haven’t draw in CAD program for at least 5 years.

LibreCad is a free CAD program for all platform. Sorry for the long hiatus break, but I’m here again and ready with the new cg tutorial, and this time I choose LibreCad.
