Friday, September 20th Lesson Plan:

Standards:  AC-ADDI-4: Prepare residential floor plans.

4.1 Research and describe general codes related to floor plans.

4.2 Sketch to scale residential floor plans. 

4.3 Draw dimensioned floor plans using appropriate symbols.
4.4 Apply appropriate dimensioning rules. 
4.5 Incorporate aspects of sustainable and universal design. 
4.6 Demonstrate the use of the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software related to residential floor plans problem solving.

Using the "AUTOCAD-Style" planning and layout tools in floorplanner.com student must create a floorplan for a "hypothetical" room.  The room must have the following items:

1. Walls: 10-feet high x 5-3/4" thick.  Any dimensions L x W.  Subdivided spaces can be created.

2. Entryway (Doors):  Must have at least one Exterior Door.  Interiors must have doorways, openings, or closet doors.

3.  Windows:  Windows should exist on all Exterior Walls

4.  Furniture:  Rooms should be furnished with at least one piece of furniture each.

5.  Flooring:  Please identify a floor pattern of some kind.

Projects should be viewed online as 2D and 3D renderings.  Please take at least 1 (Snipping Tool) image of each wall view, and an overhead view.  Upload Images into a file on Google Drive and SHARE the folder with me for credit.  

Learning to draw to scale, and create accurate floorplans is crucial if you are persuing a career in architecture, construction, or engineering.  Floorplanner has graciously allowed us to create an EDU account (and sub-accounts) for students here.  Once created, you will be able to follow the directions found on the website to create architectural drawings and floorplans.  This is an introduction to this type of drawing, and should not take the place of learning AutoCad or other brand-name architectural software if you continue to work in professional trades or careers.  Please review the tutorials listed below, and spend time in class learning to use the basic functions of this program.  You should be familiar with how to create walls, doors, windows, and place furniture.  You should also be able to render in both 2D and 3D to create images for inclusion in presentations.

"Floorplanner is the easiest and best-looking way to create and share interactive floorplans online. Whether you're moving into a new house, planning a wedding or reorganizing your living room, Floorplanner has the right tools for you. With Floorplanner you can recreate your home, garden or office in just a few clicks and furnish your plans with our huge library of objects." - Excerpt taken directly from https://floorplanner.com/
