The purpose of this practical: Became an architect is to continue learning new functions of LibreCad and start to design our first technical plan.
This is one of the most used applications of computer-aided Design.
A house plan project is the main reference for architects and engineers in order to construct and include furniture in it. So in the first place is that is an reduction scaled plan.
Open the LibreCad program that is in Start / graphics / libreCad
Save the file as D5_NameSurname.dxf in the deskstop. The program extension is dxf, although finally we will save it again or export it with another extension (pdf and png).
The units used in the drawing are meters. The menu options/current drawing preferences/paper/landscape and menu options/current drawing preferences/units/meters.
Starting with the outline, choose tools drawing from two points and with the command bar insert these coordinates: (0,0 ; 6.30,0 ; @0,8.35 ; 0, 8.35 ; 0,0)
The wall measures 0.1m to draw the interior part, the tool used is draw lines parallel choose the distance 0.1 and place the mouse next to the line.
Taking the dimensions and tools to draw horizontal, vertical, parallels, the drawing appearly similar to the figure.
More tools are needed to perform the project little by little and with patience. To cut lines, modify cliclk on the tool to trim select the limit entity after choose the line to cut.
Add a new layer for dimensions. Choose colour green In this part you will be able to check if it matches with the original drawing. Hide this layer.
Add a new layer for the doors. In red. The doors are cuarter of circle. Choose the option draw curves center point angles, center, radius point point.
Add another layer block for the furniture choose another colour. On the right pannel in the library browser/plan/architect there are a lot of furniture. Click on the element you want Place it the way you like the most. To scale the object select the complete object in the menu modify, scale to reduce the number is less than 1. Usually are decimal numbers 0.001, 0.0001 until it fits.
Save it, with the same format D5_NameSurname.dxf
Export the project as a png image black and 15 resolution. Name it D6_NameSurname.png
Upload the two files to the aula virtual.
