Autodesk has created an entertaining application based on Adobe Flex technology. With it, you can prepare visually attractive three-dimensional floor plans without leaving your browser and in a matter of minutes. The product is called Autodesk DragonFly and is packed with an impressive library of objects (plasma panels, stereo systems, fireplaces, furniture for the living room and bedroom, kitchen appliances, plumbing ...). Objects can be moved to the plan (unfortunately, you cannot drag anything in isometry) using the mouse cursor, users can resize objects, rotate them and perform other manipulations. Of course, God knows what, but I do not know of other similar applications.
The whole process of creating a drawing is divided into three simple steps:
firstly:create a two-dimensional plan of the designed room. A novice architect will be able to take advantage of the proposed blank or create his own drawing “from scratch” using only walls ... The toolkit allows you to easily build or demolish walls, divide rooms with partitions, mark doorways on the plan and indicate the side of their opening, etc. After this fascinating process, the user it is proposed to fill the empty room with furniture, decor elements, hanging floor lamps, etc.
secondly: after completing work on the plan, the user can click on the View in 3D button In order to see your drawing in isometry. It makes sense to make the walls translucent (for this, right-click on the desired wall or partition and specify the transparency attribute)
and finally:the results can be saved (for this it was necessary to register) or exported to DWG format (supported by most architectural design packages) or RVT (allows you to open created projects in Autodesk Revit). You can also print an isometric or plan indicating the size (indicated in feet or meters).
Autodesk DragonFly does not involve pre-registration, but it’s better to pass it through experience, otherwise you will not be able to save the results of your design efforts. It would be great if you could look at your creation in perspective or even in a virtual tour mode, but alas. I also have not figured out how to forward a link to my creation, but maybe I'm so stupid ...
