I’m curious if there’s anyway to render plan views in line drawing format? From a sales and marketing perspective we provide 2d plans and line drawing perspectives for “conceptual “ plan fees. And once clients commit to construction drawings and moving ahead with a project , we send more detailed views and plans with dimensions etc.
Many architects will give hand drawn plan views before any hard lined CAD plans and in thinking of following that format , would love to give “conceptual plans “ a more conceptual “look”. Since all the work is done up front on CA .. in getting all the details of framing etc done before we start drawing , it would be nice to be able to turn down the detailed plans to look more conceptual ( with pencil smudges etc ) and then turn layers on for the work when charging a 2nd phase fee for construction plans.
This is merely a marketing issue much like we do when presenting as built plans gray scaled out and dull and proposed plans with lots of color and energy ( we change text colors , dimension colors , notes etc. all to present a pallet that significantly reflects the change from their as built home to their potential new home.
I haven’t found a way to do that in CA. And just wondered if anyone else is Looking for the same kind of controls of their plan views.
Thanks for any help or advice.
