Getting started: a first house
This short tour builds a small one-storey house from scratch, and ends with a printed sheet and an IFC file. Each step takes a few minutes. You can stop at any point and come back.
- Start a project: a new empty project, or a sample to look at.
- Set up the levels: the floors of the building.
- Draw the walls: the outline of the house.
- Add doors and windows: they cut their own holes.
- Add a floor and a roof: slabs and roofs from an outline.
- Look at it: plans, sections and 3D: views made from the model.
- Put it on a sheet: a drawing ready to print.
- Save and export: the project file, PDF and IFC.
Tip: Want to see a finished model first? CreaBIM opens on the starter house, and File › New starter house brings it back. Everything in this tour is already in it, so you can click around and see how it is made.
