My man Oliver never let us down with a video! Thanks for layering down every single step of your workflow so, most of us, can think about ours and improve every day.
man, i have the exact same archicad to illustrator workflow, and just like you said (i'm still at university) - most of the time, i just leave it at illustrator. I do know how to work with PS, but most of the time, i use it afterwards. That's why this was the perfect video for me, because i didn't know all your tricks for the perfect AI/PS combined workflow. Amazing video, as always!
Your guides are always joy to watch. It would be nice to know if it's possible to re-draw part of the map to propose new city plan concepts. Could this be done by editing the map data files, or in illustrator?
Thanks!!! And yes that's totally possible. In the example I did in the video, I didn't change anything and represented the urban environment as is. But this workflow is for a "re-draw" in mind. You get that base ready as linework and before exporting the PDF you would do all the changes. My approach would be to concentrate any re-draws to the CAD/BIM step, and only style in Illustrator and Photoshop. Also, I suggest adding any new proposals to a new layer, so that you can take advantage of this and style it as a category.
I am trying to create an urban walking park. I will submit it to the townhall as a proposition as we citizens do not have many choices to move around in our small town. After I make my site plan, the way you have shown. How can I proceed to make some of the surrounding buildings and the park certainly, in 3D? That way I can get print, or create a Presentation Board, where I can present areas of the park, from various viewing angles.
Iwas wondering, if I want to make a map in Illustrator, that has a scale 1:200. And wish to add a building that has an area 20x30 meters. How can I go about it ?
Although you could draw up-to-scale elements directly in Illustrator, and "do the math" on your head to then input the correct dimension on screen. I always rely on a drafting software CAD or BIM to accurately draw, and then only import that element into Illustrator. But... if you need to do that in Illustrator, sometimes I used a real-life scale to confirm what that 20x30 meters building would equal to on paper. For example, draw a 30 meter line on 1:200 and then turn the scale to 1:1 (1:100) and measure that.
What an amazing content, thanks a lot Oliver.I know it's kind of out of the blue but would you mind giving me some advice on online portfolio website that architects use to promote their work. I'm forth year student and trying to make something like this, is there any methods for building up a personal website that you suggest.THANK YOU In advance...
Thanks for the inspirations, But I'm having a problem with opening the pdf file from archicad to illustrator, The file seems very dull and almost unseeable, Can anyone help me? I also tried opening other pdf files and those seems fine, but this certain pdf file of mine from archicad only have this problem. Thanks for anyone who can help me
Hey HKL! Have you double checked the line weight of your elements? Depending on what color you picked from the pen set, it will have a 0mm thickness. But regardless of that, you should be able to unmask all, and apply a new thickness in Illustrator. Even though the file might seem invisible, the line paths should still be there.
Hello Oliver, I would like to know how you would do in case of doing an axonometry. I have a large archicad model. Do you export the axonometric from there, with the fills to illustrator? Or do you pass the model to sketchup for only lines then to illustrator? The file is so big that when using illustrator on the archicad image the program crashes. Thanks in advance. It's for my thesis, I hope you can help me
hey, thanks for the tutorial. I do not know how to use archicad but a am good at cad. do you think using cad is okay to produce these type of drawings?
That can be a great starting point as well! But I think Cadmapper relies on the same data base. And it also exports svg. Have you had better base map results with Open Street Map? I’ll look more into it! Thanks, Nazra
Yes, it’s possible! But you’d have to make some compromises and also extra steps: 1. You’d have to export each category as an individual PDF. So that you could import one at a time into Photoshop to still have them divide into layers. 2. All the linework would have to be done in your CAD/BIM software. That means that if you only had 1 combined PDF, you’d have a hard time. 3. The extra creative freedom that Illustrator gives would now be limited to what you can accomplish with a technical software (cad/bim). But still that’s totally doable! Just make sure to have a high quality file to begin with. I hope that helps, Peter! 😁
I don't like how it looks.On the other hand, why does someone always draw a master plan on youtube that has a large body of water? Almost never that I have had to draw one was there water.
Thanks for your input Antoniotobarra! That’s totally valid. We all have different tastes. But I was wondering, what would you make differently on the image? Personally if I were doing this for a competition, or a real project, I’d be a lot more minimal with the style intensity. Overall, I prefer cleaner and simpler drawings. (You might get a feel over my final thesis boards) But unfortunately since I’m posting this to UA-cam, I often make the images a lot more flashy. Now regarding the water, I don’t really get it. The method works with or without water. I usually try to include as to show an extra “feature”, and again… to draw more attention. As I mentioned during the video, this is just a base, but it should be adapted to each one’s specific needs.
@@LearnUpstairs I agree with you. A more sober style is more attractive to me. Maybe it's because of the degree or because of working so many hours with qgis. I mention the water thing because the plan tends to be more attractive with it, but since I've seen it so little in practical cases, I find it curious to always see it in this type of video. I'm not just talking about what you do.
My man Oliver never let us down with a video! Thanks for layering down every single step of your workflow so, most of us, can think about ours and improve every day.
Can’t help but click on your thumbnails, so good man! Keep it up!
Thank you, Arch Guide! 🙏
Such a good tutorial! As an archi student I really appreciate the amount of detail in your explanation every time.
Thanks Oliver!
Thank you so much for the feedback, Leandro!

Glad to know that, Paul! This workflow is indeed very powerful to use in university projects. Lots of room to be creative!
Appreciate the feedback!
GRACIAS POR PONERLOS EN ESPAÑOL, ME AYUDAN DEMASIADO TUS VIDEOS, ME ENCANTAN👏🏼😍.
Site analysis is really stressful 😢
big thumbs up, also bought a texturepack a while ago. I love it, its clean and super useful!
I like you as if you were your study buddy at my school. Thanks buddy.
Now off to make my site analysis! Great video and helpful steps, will def be checking out your resources!
Man your videos are always awesome. I'm currently making posters for my final review of the semester and your channel has been such a huge help.
Great video. As an Architecture student this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks ❤
I hope this great tutorial can be on youtube 10 years earlier by now. 😍👍
Beautiful and very helpful!
Thanks!
I really love you, you save me, I am fascinated, watch all your videos.
Você é um gênio caraaaa!!! Amei demaissss 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow!!!! That`s adorable! Video is perfect
Thank you sooooo much 😙😙 had done a site plan praised by my professor and your video on tutoring the board layout is quite useful too
Admiro muito a qualidade das coisas que você faz e a simplicidade de suas explicações, muito bom, continue com o trabalho!
Thanks for the great video! Would love to see more on architectural diagrams!
That's a superb tutorial! Thanks!!
ohh this was so helpful, I'm a landscape architecture major and we're not taught anything besides autocad so I'm learning it by myself 😔
Вы Святой человек 😅 Ваши видео очень полезны, особенно студентам как я!)❤
Awesome like always!
Fun Fact
I'm From Sri Lanka
and
I'm Doing my landscape architecture Level 2 Project in the exact same Context You have shown here

@@LearnUpstairs Thank, you I will follow your advice.
I needed ideas to start my project, all project start with the localizacion.... th a lot
thanks for making korean captions :)
Nice tutorial bro thanks a lott :D
Amazing!

Great video! Can you show how to use vector patterns and pathfinder in architecture? Thanks!
Muito bom o vídeo! Teria um curso em português?
muy buen tutorial!
Você tem algum curso em português sobre os mapas criativos ?
편집 멋있게 잘 하시네요^^
hey i know this is bit off topic but, do you have suggestions on showing glass in an elevation render.
Hey Salient! A glass object or a glass panel? Usually white fade helps to add a translucent feel. (white fill with a low opacity)
@@LearnUpstairs Thanks a lot!! Love the videos btw keep going🙂

🇱🇰thank u for the knowledge sir🙏
hey, thanks for the tutorial. I do not know how to use archicad but a am good at cad. do you think using cad is okay to produce these type of drawings?
Well, I have the problem that my PDF don't end up like your file, where I can select every single line. Do you have any advice?
Big brother im just almost completed with my UD work but this method is still drawing me in
open street map lets you save maps in svg exports
That can be a great starting point as well! But I think Cadmapper relies on the same data base. And it also exports svg.
Have you had better base map results with Open Street Map?
I’ll look more into it! Thanks, Nazra
@@LearnUpstairs the data is the same but, open street map is editable, you can provide/add a missing data to the site.
what are the odds that my last architectural project was located exactly there
Really?? I'd love to see it if possible. Could you send it to my email? You can find it in the video description.
Tu mora no Brasil é?
@@Amanda-tz3rl sim! Sou brasileiro 🇧🇷
Is it possible to just skip the Illustrator and just use Photoshop? Would it be too much work this way?
Yes, it’s possible! But you’d have to make some compromises and also extra steps:
1. You’d have to export each category as an individual PDF. So that you could import one at a time into Photoshop to still have them divide into layers.

eu vendo o video e do nada aparece o mapa de curitiba mds n sabia q ele era brasileiro
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
This is awesome but I think it is easier to do it with SketchUp and LayOut
Но как же snazzy map?
epa, pera lá!!! você é tupiniquim também!
me iin 2024 doing the thesis for the same site in Sri Lanka.
