Just bought the pro pack and struggled with the tutorial by Stephen (he went too fast). You brief walkthrough was glorious! Please do more on Archipack....
Hi Justin, absolutely brilliant! I spent ages trying to figure out the disconnect/ re-connect issue and then I found this tutorial which I'd missed for some strange reason. Thanks again. Geoff
wow thank you so much!!! the official documentation is pretty vague, so thank you so much for just giving a good basic overview/"How to" for getting started. Thank you!
@@TheCGEssentials I find Bblender very user friendly.There are many things that are done with much more simplicity and intuitiveness compared to 3d max. Recently I could see how it can handle a 3d model imported from ProEngineering which for 3dmax 2021 is very heavy, but Blender handles it as if they were few polygons. (I have a rtx 2060 super) Model takes 5 minutes to open in 3dmax, Blender opens in less than 10 seconds! The scene has around 4000 objects for a total of 12 million polygons. The only thing I would like to have is the implementation of Corona render because I had been using it for years and I had practice and familiarity. But you should never stop learning new things, even at the age of 47!
Really great and helpfull video thnx. I just can't get my head around creating an inner wall. It won't snap to the outer wall. I have set both incr. & vertex snap.
Hello, I was sent this video by Stephen Leger, I notice this drw walls is different from the video you did creating walls with wall, etc... difference in this video is you draw walls - in both videos you do windows and doors. the first one i watched had glass in the windows and doos this video the glass is not there... I wonder what was different in your settings... I can't get the windows to show as see through in either case ... any chance you may know a setting or two I can check to see why my windows are not transparent?
This is on my wishlist! I'm curious can you edit a wall mesh in more detail after you created and still maintain its parametric features or you basically would need to bake it or "apply it" for that?
Can we be expecting a start to finish architectural design using blender? even if its paid for..struggling going from Sketchup to Blender and you are the man when it comes to tutoring!..
I suppose that depends on what you're trying to achieve. Since there's not really a good way to actually create/print plans from Blender, it's somewhat limited
Hey Justin (and other fellow achipack users!). I am using the newest version of AP on a mac. I cant seem to figure out how to restart drawing a wall as you are demonstrating about 4 minutes into the video. Holding the 'ALT' key (option key for a mac) is not resulting in the restart of drawing the wall. Anyone know how to do this on a mac?
AH! Figured this out for whoever else might be having this issue. If you have 'Emulate 3 Button Mouse' enabled, this function wont work. If you disable this function, then it works correctly. To disable, go to Edit > Preferences > Input and under the Mouse dropdown, untick Emulate 3 Button Mouse.
One problem is that when snap to grid is enabled, I can't make perfectly orthagonal walls. They are about 1 degree slanted off 90 degree angles. The other problem is when I add windows and doors, it doesn't Boolean the wall.
So far, quite an unintuitive tool. As soon as I try adding walls with different widths using the draw wall tool, it puts them on random z height. Incredibly frustrating to try to work with. Your video helps somewhat, but the tool needs to be simplified. After more than an hour I still choose the wrong arrows when setting the angle between two walls. Luckily it's not that much money if I won't be able to grok it.
I have that problem too when I attempt to draw walls. I have the same versions as you. So I'm hoping someone can help before going to their tech support.
Sometimes I think the same - it's so much easier to figure halves, proportions, etc in metric. But then when I try to imagine spaces in meters (I'm in the US) I'm lost, so I sometimes switch between the two in the Measurements panel. I get into heated arguments about metric/imperial with my friends.
@@TheCGEssentials The one included with Blender is useless. I've spent over an hour trying to create a simple building, but it just doesn't want to respond in reasonable ways. There's apparently no update path for the built in version.
@@basspig Sorry it's not working for you I guess. I've found the free version to be pretty workable. I've found Archimesh to be much harder to use than the free Archipack version
Really good videos!!! I am new to blender and with these videos and plugin I learned to build a house in a day. Of course, my flow was not as smooth as these videos but hey, I'm new. I am wondering if you have more advanced videos on this plugin. After completing the rough of my house, I have been trying to export it to have it work in other software. Primarily iClone 7. Where I can get the house into iClone, I am losing the roof textures and holes in the walls and roof where the house cuts in or extends out. I have read about applying boolean and triangulating but I must be doing something wrong. I have so many more questions but know this is not the place for that so... if you have videos that are a little more advanced, please point me to the URL. Your videos are really good in helping me fast track through Blender unlike others that go so fast I can only get bits and pieces. Thank you! 👍👍
Hi everyone! Let me know what you think about Archipack in the comments below! :)
Hi Justin, How to set up a door with certain distance from a wall?
How to change a color (inside, outside) frame and door?
Just bought the pro pack and struggled with the tutorial by Stephen (he went too fast). You brief walkthrough was glorious! Please do more on Archipack....
Criminally under-viewed tutorials you have, man. A+ easy-to-follow, clear and concise instructions. 👍
I appreciate that!
best archipack wall tutorial on internet
thanks man

Very Nice explained and Thank you.. So much for this video And You everyday update if there is something new 🔥
wow thank you so much!!! the official documentation is pretty vague, so thank you so much for just giving a good basic overview/"How to" for getting started. Thank you!
GREAT! Fantastic Tool. I'm switching from 3dmax (bleah) to Blender and this software is very very very...very....no words.
Interesting - let me know how you like it :)

I'm new to archipack and this video was extremely helpful in getting me started. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Nice. Please make a series on this with the new versions. Thank you
Thanks. Great video. How do you add a second floor?
Really great and helpfull video thnx. I just can't get my head around creating an inner wall. It won't snap to the outer wall. I have set both incr. & vertex snap.
Also turn on edge snap
I like your videos very good explained. Thanks.

@@TheCGEssentials Yes. Looking more for concept visualization (and to learn blender in the process)
How can you fillet corners in ArchiPack? Thanks a lot!
Can you create your own preset components for doors, windows, etc?
Hi wich os the link to buy it. Thanks
When i try to add a 2nd wall by pressing (A) the 2nd wall flips into the 1st wall and does not extend... it gets placed inside the 1st wall grrrr

ciao justin archipack pro e veramente interessante rende tutto piu semplice ,posso costruire su piu piani grazie
Hi, I am new to blender, do u have a tutorial for materializing it? thank you
I don't know what this means
Any reason that clicking draw wall doesn't give me a preset option?
One problem is that when snap to grid is enabled, I can't make perfectly orthagonal walls. They are about 1 degree slanted off 90 degree angles.
The other problem is when I add windows and doors, it doesn't Boolean the wall.
You have to click the wall and use boolean (using Archipack) on the wall rather than on the windows or doors
I try to use this tool but I keep getting an error message. Has anyone solved this pro problem?
How to the measurement like cut and so on as on screen..? 😭

Thanks alot. Not getting into the "drawing" menu after quitting it made me furious.
Did anyone find a solution to the wall creation python scene_ray_cast error? It's literally driving me nuts. I have 2.3.3 and Blender 2.93
I have that problem too when I attempt to draw walls. I have the same versions as you. So I'm hoping someone can help before going to their tech support.
had the same problem: use blender version 2.8x and it should work.
I had the same problem, I just uninstalled and installed again!
its not cutting holes in walls in free :|
useing feet should be a crime xP
Nah :)
@@TheCGEssentials i honestly forgot why i wrote that, or if that was a typo. the heat makes me delusional xP

Archipack is not free. It's $59 and the sight asks for a credit card.
There's a free version and a paid version. I literally linked to a page that shows the difference AND talked about it in the video...
