There are two ways to use Procreate to draw a floor plan from scratch: 1) pro-actively, and retro-actively. Join me as I share my secret sauce for drawing to scale in this draw-along.

ABOUT ME
I have been a registered architect and illustrator for over 30 years, working mostly in large-scale institutional and hospitality design, doing everything from concept design, to construction detailing, to high-stakes client presentations. Early on I departed ways with the traditional practice of architecture by first getting a Masters in Real Estate Finance and Development (thinking I wanted to "be my own developer") then becoming a full-time renderer and design consultant from 1987 (before you were born) to this day, providing sketching, rendering, and what I call "design stenography" services to many of NYC’s leading firms. This often involves working on-site in their offices, drawing on my experience as a designer to "fill in" details, helping design teams get the green light on their designs, and clearing the way for design development.
I have three adult children and I practice architecture and rendering in NYC

Nice tutorial! Thank you

[@NikoleHorkin]

Thank you so much! Just purchased your bundle. You saved me so much time and frustration with my miniature modeling laser cut art. ❤

You just made my day )

[@damiolek]

Nice tutorial! Very helpful. Thank you!

[@iPadForArchitecture]

You are SO welcome! Thanks for watching it. How did you learn about the video if I may ask?

[@-_AjB_-]

Hi. I realise tbis this is a year old, but is it possi le to try the free download in metric?

[@damonmanni]

Great Tutorial. Thank you so much!

[@iPadForArchitecture]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comment. Any special areas of interest you’d like to see more of?

[@damonmanni]

Yes there is actually: I am not an architect nor great at sketching but I am a woodworker and I design and build furniture for commissions. Thus I make drawings of components and the sub-parts that make up a component. These need to be detailed with accurate dimensions shown. For example to build a cabinet which has 4 Side panels which each are made using 3/4” plywood then 1x3 black walnut on top of it as the finish. I need to show dados, rabbets, etc. it was painstaking to try to create a 1x3 accurately in LxWxTh especially when dragging the dimensions tool to clearly see 3/4” material. The fonts were too large and got cluttered easily ( I know I can change font size, but you see my point). Also I felt like I had to fight Morph for accuracy., meaning if I wanted a panel to be 18”L x 14”W I had to use the ruler to draw the rectangle, then butt it up to another line to show assembly but then when I remeasured for overall length for example the Dimms tool would kick back a different value. If I zoom in the lines don’t overlap that’s b/c I need to see two separate components or parts but this throws off my desired length. I guess I don’t know why morph doesn’t let you type in a value (like they do in scale tool) and have the line or component resize to my input. Sketchup does this very well. Also is there a way to create a component by grouping other objects into one object. Are there stencil libraries out there that I can import to ease my struggles? Apologies for the verboseness.

Love your videos and I am still need to watch more of them for both Procreate and Morpholio. I am a beginner to all this, iPad and iPad tools for architects. When it comes to Procreate, regarding the grid templates and rulers, do you have a tutorial on how to create the nice resources you use?? Or do you sell some of those resources? Just asking. Again, thank you for sharing those great lessons. In regards to Morpholio Trace: I cant find a wait to marge layers like Procreate. Grouping is another issue. Am I missing something?

[@iPadForArchitecture]

Thanks for your kind comments, Victor! Yes, I sell the grids, brushes, scales and everything else at link in description below. Thank you for asking!

[@sherillobo9445]

Very informative and you explain very well. I had a question. Where can I get the grids and the scale to save on my IPad? How was it available on your cloud ?

[@iPadForArchitecture]

Thank you for your kind comment and for asking about the scale drawing tools you can find them via the link to my store page in the description below the video.

[@brenttaylor3828]

Excellent . I like your teaching style James. You are a natural

[@4135289018]

You made my day, Brent, thank you!

[@chitpaul]

Can you show us the final design given to the home owner or to the planning permission departments.

[@ArtisanTony]

What would be cool is if there was hdmi output so that you could incorporate and capture the screen for videos. I make a lot of Sketchup videos but would use this f it were easier to incorporate with my channel. Nice video!

[@iPadForArchitecture]

I believe you can do screen capture right out of the iPad, and you can do video replay in Procreate, but people seem to prefer the instructional value of seeing the pencil making he lines--or at least I *think* they do?

[@ArtisanTony]

@@iPadForArchitecture That makes sense :) Thanks!

[@paulcritchley464]

Nice video What is the cost of Procreate? Cheers

[@iPadForArchitecture]

@@paulcritchley464 I think its $10 one time, then its yours for life

[@paulcritchley464]

@@iPadForArchitecture Thanks for that I’m just fed up with subscriptions Procreate looks brilliant I’m looking to buy the iPad Pro I’ve watch a lot of your demonstrations. Imagination is for more important that education. That Albert fellow said something like that. Much appreciated Cheers

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

00:29 What’s the difference?… Or rather, how are others different?

[@antonioduverge3558]

Morpholio is way much better the problem is the price!

[@iPadForArchitecture]

Is it?
