artistwantab Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Hey everyone... Student here....I am just dabbling in this and want to see if its something I want to focus on. I have designed some floorplans and really loving the program now that I am getting the hang of things. I have used a lot of Adobe software. I have watched a lot of youtube videos. Once you have the floorplan down. What is the next step? What do you focus on next? Like I said I am very new at this and have had no education on this software but I know I want to get into the field of designing things. Just not sure what field. Just point me in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artistwantab Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 I am confused. It is about Chief. I am wondering after you design a floor plan what do you focus on next "in the software" designing the roof? basement? I am just curious about the process of designing a home with this software. Once I have the floor plan done what do you guys do next. It may be an ignorant question and I am probably not wording it properly. Just learning.

DavidJPotter Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Also when laying out a floor plan a designer needs to be able to predict the 3D geometry of the roof over a floor plan. Especially new or armature designer often miss this important point that the geometry of the floor plan directly dictates the geometry of the resulting roof structures. When I start a new project the first thing I do is to set all project relevant "Default Settings" in all relevant categories for the project at hand. Then I create the floor plan with its windows and doors, then the roof system, then the foundation, next the terrain plane, then con docs and renderings as required.
