      When were hovering your mouse over the link to download the home builder, that was actually the link to download Blender, the home builder link was below it.
      I downloaded it and I think it is great.

    I would recommend setting the scale based off the largest dimension to minimize scaling error. for example, instead of using the 5'-9" dimension, use the 14'10" or 11' dimension. mis-clicking by 5 px over 11 feet is a much smaller error than 5 px over 5 feet.

    I like this video! It would be helpful for a beginner like me if you switch on key logging so it is possible to follow the steps. i.e. I am struggling to scroll and zoom while drawing a wall. It seems to me like scrolling/zooming is disabled as soon as I select 'draw wall'. EDIT: I figured out why I cannot zoom/scroll while placing walls: Magic Mouse on Mac is so far not supported. You need a mouse with a physical wheel. I got the answer from the very nice and helpful developer of the plugin himself!

    I tried using this to recreate my apartment but didn’t know a couple things like I do now with the angle rotation so may try again! Also not sure if it’s just me but when I was trying to draw a interior wall close to another wall it would draw it far away from the area I was wanting but maybe I didn’t set the wall type to be a interior one

  • @phixpowerbook
    @phixpowerbook 4 місяці тому

    Great idea and thanks for the instruction. I do, however find this addon quite gitchy. When I add a floor it runs one of the walls off to an infinate length, the drag n drop materials donest seem to work, it crashes quite a bit. I usually use Livehome 3D ( similar to Sketch up but cheaper lol ) to create a room / building then bring it into Blender.

  • @Mushbee
    @Mushbee Рік тому +1

    Agree that this addon is currently the most intuitive one to create a floorplan in Blender. Although archipack is much more robust and offers more functionality, it has quite finicky controls and terrible UI, whereas HomeBuilder excel in those areas.

  • @blpreH
    @blpreH 11 місяців тому +1

    I have found an issue - this addon works ONLY when I frame the viewport in fullscreen, if not - starting position of the wall sticks at world origin and start to move slightly only when the cursor at the bottom part of the screen (usually Timeline is located there by default).
    UPD.: I Found solution and WHY this is happening (Hope it will be helpful) - I have multiple viewports on screen at the same time (main for everything, small one for camera view), so the solution is - to keep one 3d-viewport at the same time)

    • @TheCGEssentials
      @TheCGEssentials  10 місяців тому +3

      As someone who started off in SketchUp, which is much more of a "drafting" software, I don't disagree about most of the tools (this is definitely the best tool out there, btw, and I think it's moving in the right direction) . It actually blows my mind the number of people that try to make the case that Blender is better than SketchUp, AutoCad, or even Revit for this kind of thing - it's not, but you CAN use it if you want to.

    • @ggill1313
      @ggill1313 10 місяців тому +4

      @@TheCGEssentials For sure. To that end, I’ve really tried to get into Sketchup and I’m embarrassed to say this, but the “learning curve,” however minimal it is, kind of frustrates me - even when using plugins. I started this journey or whatever by using an app I randomly downloaded for my iPad, and it’s been by far the most fluid way to make a floor plan, walls, roof, add windows, etc. I’ve been looking for something in between it and something like Archicad with precisely the same ease of use. I’m trying to teach myself a lot of programs right now so it’s all a bit overwhelming.
