Curved Walls Openings // AutoCAD Architecture 2025

[@LauraCarter-ly2uq]

Thanks TD for both the email and another great video. Your videos were a great help when I started using AutoCAD Architecture. Lately, I've been working on shoreline stabilization plans. Whenever I go back to working on building plans, I find your videos are a wonderful refresher course. Glad to see you've created an on-line class. I'll sign up for it when it looks like more building plans are coming my way. Thanks again!

Hi...Just want to say thank you so much for your videos.. really appreciate..best wishes...

Thank you for your time in making these video's, I have been using AutoCAD since R14, but just recently started using Architecture and find your videos most helpful, while a number of commands are identical my learning curve is the tool pallets and how to reproduce what I can draw in 3D modeling mode in AutoCAD. In Architecture I am struggling to draw a custom feature front door with glazing panels to both sides and above, the overall frame is 4150mm high and 2300mm wide with a single door centre of the frame measuring 1000mm wide by 2450mm high. Also is AutoCAD I can clad the external walls in vertical timber cladding and composite panels with a shadow gap design, plus some stacker brick feature columns (pilasters) and then use the Visualize tab and material browser to make these elements look realistic but I can't find how to do this in Architecture, it just seems limited to the wall types you can pick from the pallet. However I do think the Drape command is extremally good and time saving and I don't know why it's not included in AutoCAD

[@TDVision_U]

All of what you are trying to do can be done in AutoCAD Architecture. You would have to use window/door assembly to get that custom door design. For materials, use material definitions rather than the materials found on the visualize tab.

Hello, thank you for all your videos, I have been bringing your channel for the past two months, and I have been learning so much. I have a question I haven't found an answer yet, and it is probably due to me missing the right terminology. I want to know how can I draw a room that is on the same floor has the other rooms, but on a slight step, slightly higher than the other ones ? Thank you so much for your help

[@TDVision_U]

Yes, that is possible. There are a number of approaches. If it's a large enough space, you can create a separate level (mezzanine). For example, if the floor raises up 1'-6", Level 1 will start at 0" with a height of 1'-6", then Level 1.1 will start at 1'-6"" with a height of 8'-6". That might be confusing. I'll have to do a video to better explain.

[@matteodallery5669]

Thank you for your response! I thought I might have to create another floor for that. I was hoping I wouldn't have to. A video on that would be great 😃! Also I would love to see a video on the renovation tool. I am learning AutoCAD for a renovation and I would love to have your tips and tricks on that subject ! Thanks for your videos keep at it !

[@douglasjennings657]

I do mine different for circular porch etc. but that's Kool

[@TDVision_U]

What's your approach?

[@douglasjennings657]

You can draw the wall and create a arch extrusion thru it

[@TDVision_U]

@@douglasjennings657 that is correct. Thanks for sharing!

[@GraalElk]

autocads native dark interface always makes it so foreign for me how would 3d modelling look like if the interface and everything was set to a light theme? i have a theory that it would attract more interest

[@TDVision_U]

I might do that next time.
