render elevations and plans

[Anonymous]

how can i render elevations and floor plans, using lightworks as well as the sketch engine?

Use the camera to establish parallel views instead of perpective views.

Plans are trickier - you need to estabish the view in parallel and then use the cutplane to slice off the top of the room.

How do I go about that? I am having trouble getting the parallel view set up for every elevation, it only seems to want to work for north and south ones. Is there also no way to do a sketch rendering of the floorplan as a plan rather than a view? Such as one that shows what you would see in a 2d plan view (ie door swings, symbols rather than objects, etc)?

See attached for parallel view control.

To make a sketch of the floor plan:

Fastest:
Save the project with a new name.
Explode the plan into drawing primitives.
Make a new line type that is squiggly.
Select all the lines.
Apply the new line type.

Oy buy ArchiSketchy from Cigraph.
