Architectural Drawings
House Plans and Remodeling drawings:
The
technical drawing features make EazyDraw ideal for
small architectural or landscaping projects.
You can draw to scale, the common architectural
scales are predefined. The dimensioning makes
it easy to document - automatically - sizes and
locations right on your drawing. The Item
Details drawer allows precise numeric entry of
scaled sizes (in drawing units - i.e. feet).
Walls Doors and Windows:
Drawing tools for these common architectural drawing
elements are provided by EazyDraw. These snap
together to form proper joints and corners.
The form of the ends and thickness of the walls may
be specified numerically or interactively.
Use grids:
Two
alignment grids are available for show or snap.
Grids can be asymmetric if needed (X and Y sizes
don't need to be the same).
Great application for Layers:
The
layers drawer is very useful for this kind of
drawing. The example below has a layer for
each level of the house plan.
Dimension Palette:
Just attach a dimension graphic to elements on your
drawing. The dimension (ie length) is computed
and shown automatically. If the target element
is moved or resized, the dimension moves with it and
the reported value is automatically recomputed.
Draw to Scale:
Drawing to scale if fully supported. Several
predefined scales (eg 3/4" or 1/2") are provided or
with numeric definition, any scale may be used.
It is possible to use different scales for different
layers, for example the elevation view may be drawn
with one scale and the plan view with another.
Snapping:
Easier and quicker drawing techniques are possible
with the use of different methods of snapping to
other objects or the drawing grid. Automatic -
live snapping will locate line ends, vertices, and
even intersections of lines or curves. Soft
snapping to the grid provides the convenience of
grid snapping but the ability to place objects off
the grid when necessary.
