Do you want to know what the architects currently use to create some home designs? We have collected popular programs, let’s see.

Autodesk AutoCAD

Autodesk AutoCAD is a computer-assisted design software (Computer Aided Drafting / Design, CAD) that can support both 2D and 3D operations. The development company is Autodesk. Even in the software market, there are many CAD programs. Engineering, architecture and various industries of organizations, both government and private organizations around the world, most commonly used AutoCAD because it is a software with high capabilities. The three-dimensional modeling. The designer can control the drawing. Change the view in all directions around Determine the characteristics of the drawing as needed. With commands and powerful help tools Helps save time and money, making AutoCAD a good choice in high resolution and precision applications.

Sketchup

Sketchup is a program created under the concept of combining advantages from prototyping. With a pencil to write down
Paper and using digital media to combine applications Effective It has an intelligent guidance system that uses the points, lines, surfaces to be used as a reference in modeling. Making the job creation like Smooth and fun It also has an easy-to-use interface.
The 3D model created in SketchUp looks like a surface model, forming a 3-dimensional surface, making it inside the hollow model. Unlike creating a 3D model, Solid is similar to clay molding, making it within a ton model. In addition, the curve characteristics in SketchUp are due to consist of The small straight line together, the rounded surface is the composition of the small flat surface together. The model is therefore not as smooth as creating a curve from a true curve, but good results. Is to make use of less resources File size is not large And fast processing

There are many programs for creating 3D applications. Different with features, usage, features and price from free to use properly.

Lumion

Lumion is a popular virtual scenery program. Because it is easy to use Fast and save time in work, can quickly render images, which will allow the designer to reduce work time and create beautiful works in a short time, able to support object models from external programs Various forms

Autodesk 3ds max

Autodesk 3Ds Max is a graphical computer program for Three-dimensional models and animations Works in the form of a three-dimensional principle, which has an x-axis, y-axis and Z-axis together, able to create curve shape easily, able to create in realistic scenes and good at render.

Autodesk Revit

Autodesk Revit is software for Autodesk. Is a software to help design the building work, especially in the form of CAD, using the principle of building a building information simulation system or building a building information model (Building Information Modeling) instead of drawing. By using the Parametric Change Engine, which will be followed by the construction model, various composite items, landscape images and rough construction materials The form of usage will be three-dimensional.

This is a popular program used in architects. Also, we recommend a program that will help analyze the flow of wind in the house. To help design Can be applied to all of the above programs, that is Windmee. Windmee aims to develop simple automatic wind simulation from house, condo, room or any building floor plan image instead of creating a 3d model for building analysis, our process is based on image processing that recognizes and analyzes a image of building plan, then uses it to simulate airflow in realtime building simulation.

Find your image

Do you want to know about ventilation in your residence? It is not a problem anymore because we have very useful tool for you that can be wind simulator from image. First of all you have to find your floor plan JPG image of your target such as condo or house floor plan. If you do not have any floor plan image please go to How to Create New Floor Plan Image by NBPlanner and come back to this page when you have created your floor plan image.

Adjust your image

If you haven’t downloaded our application yet, please download at homepage via Google Drive then unzip and start Windmee.exe. Windmee is supported only Windows 64-bit. If warning message “Windows Protected Your PC” appear please select “More info” then “Run anyway”.

How to download with Windmee by google Drive.

First image when you open Windmee.

Click the browse button at bottom-left to browse your image that you want to get wind simulation.

Sometimes windmee will minimize itself when you click the browse button then you have to click as below Windows taskbar and choose “Select an image” window (you must not choose Windmee window when browsing).

Windmee taskbar choose “Select an image” only.

Then browse your image that you want recommend jpg and png (but should not transparent png and Image dimension should not bigger than your screen resolution).

As a result, you will get your image show on screen.

Drag and drop your simulation area by mouse. As a result, you will see pink area of line detection.

Try to adjust detection value. If higher value, it will more detect line sensitively. If lower value, it will less detect line sensitively.

Detection value bar.

High detection value.

Medium detection value.

low detection value.

If your image is not towards “above is north“, then you have to navigate “N” direction at center-bottom towards your image north.

Before you navigate.

Your image north (Example).

After sync with your image.

If a building in your floor plan image is located at the same as your location, then you must press “MY LOCATION” button at right to get wind direction at your location.

Press “MY LOCATION” button at right to get wind direction at your location.

Then press correct button to start generate simulation. This process might take few minutes depend on image complexity.

Wind simulation your image

If the process has been finished. As a result, you will navigated to wind simulation screen.

Wind simulation screen.

You have to remove some of openning such as windows or doors because in your plan there is window lines existing. To remove wall you have to use mouse right click at openning area. To add wall you have to use mouse center click. Try to adjust image opacity you might want to see your original image as openning refference.
