Think about what you want to get as a result. Before you start creating a plan, think about what kind of house you would like. You need to know in advance how many rooms and floors it will have.
Draw the perimeter of the house with a pencil, thus marking its external walls. For convenience, take a large sheet of graph paper.
- After drawing the perimeter of the house, draw a parallel line next to it. This line must be adjacent to the first, for example, one division away from it, but the exact distance between them is not important. This is done for beauty and to emphasize the thickness of the outer walls. If the house will have a second floor, take another sheet of paper and place it on top of the first. Thus, through the top sheet of paper, you will see the outer walls applied to the bottom sheet, which also limit the second floor.
Now you can draw the interior walls; as for exterior walls, use a double line. Be sure to include in the drawing all the rooms you have planned. At the same time, many forget about the utility room, designed to accommodate a heater, washing machine, dryer, water filter, and the like.
Draw windows and doors. After you draw all the walls, you can start painting the windows and doors. They may vary in size. For example, the front door is usually larger than the door leading to the bathroom.
- To draw a window, erase the section of the wall where it will be located. Draw a line between the walls. Give the window thickness by drawing another line that protrudes outward from the first one by one division. Since these lines will lie between the lines of graph paper, a ruler will be required to draw them. As a rule, rooms facing outside walls have at least one window, but the exact number of windows in each room depends on the designer, that is, on you.
- Doors are a little easier to draw than windows. Just erase the place in the wall intended for the door with an elastic band, then connect the walls with a straight line running in the middle. Unlike the window, the second, outer line does not need to be drawn.
Find a pattern with templates to draw the rest of the objects on them. It's time for the interior details. The house will need plumbing sinks, a toilet, a bathroom, closets, a stove, a refrigerator. All this can be drawn using special templates. If you do not have such templates, simply indicate on the plan the locations of various objects, without going into details - just so that it is clear where everything is.
To get an idea of what you will get as a result and how the rooms will look, try to put pieces of furniture on the drawing. This step is optional, but it's best to imagine what the house will look like from the inside. You can draw beds, TV, sofas, tables and chairs. For furniture, as well as for household objects, there are also special templates. Do not go into small details and draw furniture in the form of squares and rectangles, using lines on graph paper.
Go to the layout of the yard. Until the next step, there is no need to apply many details. Just mark the porch and driveway. Unlike walls, the thickness of the porch edges does not need to be marked, so use a single line.
When creating a graduation project, it is necessary to prepare materials, create a base, on the basis of which plans for foundations, ceilings, coatings, rafters and roofs are drawn in the future. This basis, of course, is the building plan.
To draw a building plan in AutoCAD (AutoCAD), you must be able to use the transfer tools, segments, copying, mirroring and shifting lines by a given distance. All this is revealed in the lesson above. It will be good if you try to apply this knowledge in parallel with watching the recording. Only in this case the training will be successful.
At one time I did not find free AutoCAD video tutorials, so I create my own, so that it would be easier for students to gain knowledge in construction, and not in drawing. More information about video lessons. By the way, you can use other drawing programs. In the article section of this site about drawing programs, we will consider little-known programs that are more tailored to domestic standards.
How to draw house plan in autocad
At the beginning of drawing a house plan, it is necessary to draw its axes: vertical and horizontal.
After that, you need to draw the lines of the walls using the object snap, the lines of the walls are drawn on both sides of all axes.
Just knowing how to use tools is not enough, which is why in my courses you will see in practice how to make a project step by step, for example, from the video tutorial “How to draw a house plan in AutoCAD”, you can see that first you need to draw horizontal and vertical axes, then , using the offset tool, you need to make the walls of the building. The video only considers the main walls, as these are very important elements that require separate consideration. In the future, you will need to view the following lessons, which will tell you how to apply to the drawing
Probably, there is no such person who would not dream of having his own house. This symbolizes the dream of a person that he is trying to achieve in order to live in comfortable conditions and establish himself as a person, proving to himself that he lived and worked not in vain.
As the wise proverb says, a real man must do three things in his life - build a house, plant a tree and raise a son. And if, in principle, a little depends on the person about the goal of “raising a son”, then planting a tree is quite realistic for everyone, for this only desire is enough.
Regarding the construction of a house in our living conditions, this is not entirely simple, because for this you need to have a certain amount of money, which is not so easy to earn. However, if you still succeeded, then you are lucky!
The construction of the house begins with its project, in order to clearly plan the location of the rooms, their area, the number of floors where the staircases will be located, and so on. Such a house project can be custom-made for you by any construction company that fulfills orders for the construction of facilities. However, it is more interesting to make a project at home yourself, taking into account your desires, especially since in our age of the Internet and advanced computer technologies, this is not at all difficult.
In this article, you will learn how you can make a project at home on your computer yourself. To do this, you need to use special programs. Let's consider them in more detail.

How to draw diagrams in Word 2003? In order to draw diagrams in Word, you only need your imagination, desire, and the program itself - a text editor that is included in the Microsoft office suite. After trying it once, you can already create any schemes and small topographic schemes. In the future, I will teach you how to do this. You will see that in good hands you can make a whole mini-printing house from a text editor and a color printer.
How to draw diagrams inWord
Before creating diagrams in Word, it would be nice to learn how to create beautiful ones, and use them.
Open a new document: – Start – Programs –Microsoftoffice-MicrosoftofficeWord . Down on the panel – Drawing– choose an icon – Rectangle .
If you do not have this panel, then go to the menu – View – Toolbars – and select - Drawing .
After you click on the icon - Rectangle- you will have such a frame.
Click anywhere in the newly created field. The field will look like this.
You can cut this square in the center (right-click on it and select - Cut-). Select the rectangle in which we will draw. On the panel - Drawing- open – AutoShapes - Basic Shapes - Cube – and click the mouse on the field of the selected rectangle.
You should end up with a picture like this.
You can move and resize this cube. To do this, click on this cube to select it. If, when you hover over this cube with the mouse, the cursor takes the form of a cross with arrows at the ends, then this item can be moved. If the cursor takes the form of a double-headed arrow (on knots, which are indicated by small circles), then you can change the size of the object. Make a rectangular shape out of a cube.
Click on the new shape with the right mouse button and select the item from the drop-down menu - Copy .
Then right-click on the free field next to the figure and select - Insert. Do this trick twice.
You can select the ready-made figures you need from the panel - Drawing - AutoShapes - Other AutoShapes .
It should turn out like this.
Now drag these shapes like mine.
Try to make the next figure yourself (again by copying).
You can also insert small drawings from the outside, for example, icons. Just take the icon you need and copy or drag it into place. Here's what we got.
Now let's sign our drawings. To do this, select the frame with the pictures (click on the free place from the pictures to make the frame appear) and select on the panel Drawing icon Inscription .
Now click the mouse on the free field of the frame. It should turn out like this.
We have a new small frame with a cursor. We will write in it. The size of this frame can also be changed.
Create by copying the same inscriptions as mine and move them to their places.
Now let's draw the connecting lines. For this in AutoShapes (on the panel Drawing-) select - Connecting lines . Don't forget to select the main frame before choosing. You can call it " Canvas". After all, we draw on it like on a canvas. I chose as the connecting line - Ledge with an arrow .
This is where you have to be patient and practice. Move the cursor in the form of a cross to the place where you are going to draw the line and click without releasing the left mouse button, drag the line to the place where you need and only then release the mouse button.
If it doesn't work, then cancel your action and select the connecting line again and start over. Each new line must be re-selected on the panel - Drawing .
The lines can be changed by dragging the yellow diamonds on them.
Now let's make a nice background for our drawing. To do this, again select our "canvas" and select everything on the same panel icon - Fill color .
Having chosen the desired color, click on the icon again and make the second click on the free field of the "canvas". Or, first click on the "canvas", and then on the fill icon.
Here's what we got.
So that our individual drawings and icons do not move in different directions, it is necessary to select each element (and connecting lines too) (click on each element while holding the " ctrl until all items are selected). Here, too, you have to sweat. Even I don't always get it right the first time.
Now gently right-click on some selected element (for example, on the monitor icon) and select - grouping – Group .
Practice a little and you can easily quickly and easily create any diagrams in Word .
Note
By the way, the thickness of all lines can be changed. To do this, select the required line by clicking on it and select on the panel - Drawing - Icon - Linetype . But this must be done before grouping. Frames with inscriptions can also be filled with any color (you can also after grouping).
Even at the very beginning of construction, or rather even at the moment of the idea, private developers are faced with the problem of how to draw up a house plan correctly on their own.
A custom-made house plan can be quite expensive for the developer, so in this article we will consider the question of how to make a house plan yourself.
The design of buildings and houses is a rather complex and multifaceted issue. Drawing up a house plan will require you, at a minimum, to have certain skills and knowledge in geometry and drawing. You will also need data on the features of the site on which the construction is planned. Spatial thinking will not interfere in this matter.
Before starting work on designing a building, think over certain points: how many people the house will be designed to accommodate, how many rooms and bathrooms you need to provide, where the kitchen will be located, etc. Compare all these data with and get to work.
Today there are several ways to draw up a house plan:
- order a plan for building a house from specialists;
- draw it on paper on your own, i.e. execute by hand;
- use the special ones that are installed on the computer;
- use online services.
Consider each of the options for drawing up a plan independently in more detail.
We draw a house plan by hand
First of all, you will need a plan of the construction site, as well as data on the condition of the soil in the area.
A site plan will be needed in order to orient and determine the size of the house and its location on the ground. Soil data will help you choose the best type.
- Decide on the scale of the drawing and start drawing the plan by marking the center axes of the outer walls and each room. It is best to keep the design of the house simple, without complex design solutions. This will help you more successfully bring it to life and not spend extra money just for the sake of an interesting design solution.
- Mark the interior walls and wall partitions. Plan the layout of the rooms so that non-residential premises are located on the north side, and residential - on the south.
- Decide on the location of windows and doorways, be sure to indicate them on the plan. Optimally located so that the living rooms (bedroom, hall, office, nursery) get the maximum amount of daylight from the sun.
- Evenly on both sides, "increase" the estimated wall thickness on the axis in accordance with the selected construction material. Do not forget to observe the selected scale of the drawing.
- Put the location on the plan (this is especially true for a country house where there is no way to connect to central heating).
- Decide on the location of communications (on, in, etc.) and mark them on the drawing.
- Mark the drawing with the main dimensions of walls, partitions and openings.
- Assign a number to each room in the house. Decipher these numbers - determine which room is indicated by one or another number.
We draw up a house plan using a program installed on a computer
Today, when everyone (at home or at work) has a personal computer or laptop, it is not necessary to spend time and nerves compiling a complete house by hand. There are a number of software products that can be downloaded from the Internet and installed on your PC. With the help of these programs, many of which are designed for non-professionals, you can solve quite professional problems and draw up a plan for a country house of any complexity.
It is not necessary to buy specialized software. It is enough to download a shareware product. This kind of software gives access for a certain period of time or for a number of launches.
Architectural programs designers are able to create a two- and even three-dimensional model of the house according to the specified parameters. It is also possible to draw up a house plan with several floors.
One such program is the Ashampoo Home Designer Pro 2.0 software product. Installed on a computer, this program will help you draw up a house plan using ready-made templates and design solutions.
Getting started, you will need to specify the main dimensions of the building and the number of floors. Next, doors and windows are applied to the draft layout.
If you have a site plan, you can enter the cadastral data into the program. The 3D model will allow you to see your future home and its location on the ground.
Ashampoo Home Designer Pro 2.0 includes the ability to design not only rooms, but also the roof of a future home. There is also a function for the selection of interior decoration and even furniture placement.
Also inexpensive and quite convenient, and most importantly understandable (even for an inexperienced user), are software products *Design Studio 3D Home 3.0* or *ArCon Home & Landscape*.
Online services
There are also online programs that allow you to make 2D or 3D models of a house. One of these services is the online designer https://ru.floorplanner.com/.
