Sketch render look to floor plans

[Anonymous]

Hey guys got a presentation question for you. Does anyone know how to create a floor plan that has the look and feel of a sketch? maybe using the sketch render? I have a client that want marketing plans that have a hand drawn look for there web site. Any ideas? Thoughts?

And then there's totally cool -- Cigraph's ArchiSketchy.

AND the squiggly line trick where you make up a squiggly line type, explode your plan and then convert the straight lines into the squiggly lines.

AND yet, there's:

Bill Rattenbury's "Squiffle" object that converts any 2D linework saved as 2dl
into a library object with squiggly lines AND controllable overshot intersections. If this is a commercial object, I don't know where to get it, but perhaps Bill can tell us.

No need to explode things. Just assign a squiggly line type to your walls and draw with squiggly lines.

You can even draw free hand with the spline tool for some things if you like.

No need to make your own line types either. Download the ArchiSketchy Demo, use it one time and the squiggly line types will automatically be in your menu.

Now assign them to your walls and draw without having to convert anything or explode anything.

Not as good as ArchiSketchy for somethings, but quite useful anyway.
