Illustrator and Architecture Plans

Hi guys,
I have to draw the walls on a architecture plan as well as put color to rooms and furniture over a PDF. I do know the basics of lines and pathfinder in case of intersection and also use Smart Guides. Nevertheless does anybody knows a good tutorial on architecture drawing with Illustrator? I am doing a search in Youtube and there isn't much.
I should also have to choose a nice set of colors for different rooms and furniture. Some sample that i found in internet looks a bit dull to me.

I thinks a should go for a more vibrant but light hue. I might look at what Kuler tells.
Thanks for any info or help!
Cheers,

To be fast and easy...try using a 3D architecture program
in 2D mode....export image....trace over it in Illy.
Why? Because it is fast, easy, and accurate...and get IMSI TurboFloorplan pro 3D for less than $100.....will do most anything you will need...simple drag and drop walls, doors, windows, furniture, landscape.
Maybe you won't even need Illy in the end unless you need specific .ai or vector format.

  • Slow opening and scrolling through architectural plans

    When I open PDFs of architectural plans, they run very slowly and take a long time for each page to load.  Some pages load extremely quickly, while other more complicated pages in the same file take a long time and frequently freezes "preview".  Converting the file, compressing it or altering it in anywhat is a waste of time, as I look at hundered of these files per day from multiple servers.  Adding RAM or altering the computer in any way doesn't make sense either, as I am running a 2014 Macbook Pro with 2GHz Core 7, 8GB RAM 1600 MHz DDR3.  My co workers old PCs load and run them just fine.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • I need to purchase Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator. Which plan should I choose?

    I need to purchase Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator. Which plan should I choose? Does the 'Individual Complete plan at A$49 p/m include Indesign?? Their description of this plan only states "Latest Photoshop, Illustrator, and more, plus cloud features"...what i "and more'!!! Thank you

    Their description of this plan only states "Latest Photoshop, Illustrator, and more, plus cloud features"...what i "and more'!!! Thank you
    Many people seem to be confused by that incomplete, brief wording on the Cloud plan page.
    Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
    The full Cloud inclusions are listed elsewhere on the Adobe website

    If you need 3 or more apps then the full Cloud membership (Individual Complete plan) is the way to go.

  • Is there a way to buy a plan with just Premier, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition?

    Is there a way to buy a plan with just Premier, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and Audition? I saw all the other plans but I'm just a private cartoon animator and don't really need the other software. Plus I don't really do that much money out of this and paying for the complete Create Cloud seems like a waste of money. So basically what I'm looking for is a better monthly price where i can just pay for does 5 adobe software i so despretly need

    DAIM  because that's a bit expensive for me. 60euros each month I thought maybe there's a way I can spend less and use this software. I live in a Malta, it's a small country of only four hundred thousand residents and I just use this to animate a few cartoons and I don't really make that much money out of them. I'd end up spending more on the software than I actually make.

  • I only need Illustrator and photoshop rather than all of the applications?

    Hi,
    I'm looking in to using Creative Cloud but i already have InDesign CS6 so i would only need Illustrator and photoshop.
    Can you just get the two application or do you have to get the full Creatyive Suite?
    And what are the cost for this?
    Thanks,
    David Stubbs

    Hi there,
    You can indeed purchase a Single App membership, see this link. Pricing is listed on the Creative Cloud Plans page. But honestly, once you are paying for two single app memberships you are close enough to the price of a full Creative Cloud membership that you'll probably want to go that route (and get access to additional apps, services, and more).

    Hi Charles,
    To answer your question,
    LPTS would be acting only on packet/traffic which is ingressing the router and destined for the router itself (for-us packets).  It provides an internal forwarding table to route control/management protocol packets destined to local router to the right application for further processing.  Once we have a packet entering the interface, the network processor would be performing a lookup to determine, if this packet is destined for us.  Based on which, it will forward to LPTS.  For eg, the ICMP packets coming in on an interface with destination IP of router itself, would be processed by LPTS.  It also provides policing function for this traffic transparently.
    Key facts about LPTS
    1. LPTS is an always on feature.  No user configuration needed to enable it.
    2. LPTS is only applicable for traffic entring to the router and destined to the local router. Applies for control-plane and management plane traffic.
    3. Packets originated by router and transit traffic is not processed by LPTS
    4. LPTS polices the incoming traffic based on the pre-defined policer rates.
    Here is an o/p snip to view the LPTS entries.

  • Macbook pro slow when viewing architectural plans

    I have a mid 2010 macbook pro
    2.4 processor
    8 GB upgraded ram.
    It is incredibly slow when loading, scrolling, and viewing pdfs for architectural plans and prints.
    Why is this and how do I speed this up?

    Here is the Samsung 840 evo on amazon

    Hope this helps!
