Blender Notebook- Archimesh

I’m working on some architectural type renders for my VR project. I have been constantly frustrated by Blender’s lack of CAD type tools. Ever since taking a 2D CAD class in college, typing in exact measurements for objects is how I naturally work. I had resorted to using Sketchup, then importing Collada files in to Blender, but having to deal with the import and cleanup process is far from ideal.

Enter Archimesh! It’s an addon that is perfect for this. Can’t believe I’ve been working the last couple weeks on a workaround when the ideal solution was right there. I can type in the wall sizes, ceiling height add windows and doors. 

I continue to be impressed by Blender. So far any problem I have come up with there’s someone that has run in to the same issue and has a working solution. This is a big change from a couple years ago when most things I tried were very experimental in nature.

On to the next challenge!
