My name is Joseph Sarafian, AIA. I'm a licensed architect in California and college professor at Orange Coast College. The architecture and design software tutorials I post are here to help your design workflow. These are designed for my students, but available to all. I'm always looking for new software workflows, so please feel free to post ideas in the comments.
Thanks for the video! The point you bring up about not needing to be super accurate with the dimensions when modelling the existing structure other than the massing/exterior walls is something that took me a while to figure out. I was under the impression that there was a need to be precise with every dimension of the site, but after speaking with architect friends, I learned that's not necessarily the case.
Wouldn't the foam be a positive (the or you want) and the silicone mold be the negative (the opposite)? Just what I learned from doing film development.
I teach that course (Construction Documents) at Orange Coast College. Students design an ADU, then create a drawing set throughout the semester. Most of the content I put on RU-vid supports that class. Might be tough to fit it into a video. Maybe a video summarizing each of the drawings typically needed?
Thank you so much. I wonder if there is a way to add in this drafting some rebar detail too. I tried but I couldn't. Any suggestion? I would really appreciate it.
