  • This is a full Qcad architecture tutorial. It uses the free Qcad computer aided drafting program download. I tried to present it in an easy way showing some advantages and easy to use tools. I start with an overview then show how to download it and turn it into the free version. I show the settings necessary for Architecture and imperial foot and inches vs metric use. Then a few tools necessary to create a floor plan in the easiest way. I show dimensioning as well as using the library to drop in doors and sinks. In the end I show where to get or design your own library components to make drawings more complete.
    In high school I lived in the architecture class it was my life yet I failed to pursue it as an adult. Later I did a little construction and some of my own and friends remodels. When it came to make city permits I would do old school drafting like I knew. Even in woodworking as I used graph paper I always wished I knew cad and could get more detail. learning Cad and using it for city permits or even the ability to make more detailed woodworking plans will definitely pay me in the end. I think it will be worth it to you as well. Thanks for watching and please like and subscribe if it helped you.
    I know the video is long so I broke it up into chapters each one could be a different video so watch what you need.
    Update:8/23/23 The library where we drop doors and other objects from has been removed it is now only in the paid version if you need this functionality you'll need to buy the pro version at current time its 44.00 us so is still a good value.

      Thank you Collins. It took a couple of redos so it was a bit less hectic and I was able to organize my thoughts better. Glad you like it.

    People should pay for the programe as it will help support the devellopers in continued improvements. It is a verry good programe and for the cost it's umbeatable

      They ask you to remove certain files or pay. This isnt some hack but doing what their popup says to do. Qcad is open source so was made by a community so cant be charged for. probably those extra functions were privately made and can be charged. If you want the extra functions by all means pay the fee.

    Very good tutorial, you can communicate the tool use well. Keep up the videos. If you can and if the program is possible show how "area" is accomplished with Qcad on irregular shapes.

      There is no quick calculator for area you use a tool under the measuring tape image on the left side called polygonal area after choosing it their is a check box to add dimensions to drawing near the upper left of screen check it. To use its like any polygon tool you left click points as you draw around the object right click ends and connects to the first point and it gives you the area. if you make changes you delete it and start over). pretty simple just experiment with the tool.

    I think QCAD has moved the library browser into the paid version, which is really annoying.

      Yes its now only in the professional version there seems to be a work around by dragging object in but 44.00 seems to be an acceptable price so it seems we need the professional version now.

    Following your steps but I do not have a cursor pointer. How do i turn that on ie. like your white cross hair?

    • @johnhilbrands3274
      @johnhilbrands3274  Рік тому

      When you click on a tool you will get a cross hair when you click on the pointer in the upper left corner it will reset and be a pointer again.

    How would you add a title block to this?

      Just click on the big A on the left start typing. Drawing a box around the dialog is done in the drawing mode of lines.
