Day 2 Dialux evo Training - Facade & Landscape 4

Summary

In this training session, participants learn to create a driveway leading to a basement using the DX Evo software. The instructor guides viewers through adjusting soil thickness, setting floor heights, and utilizing the cutout tool for the basement structure. Key steps include editing in both 3D and plan views, adding points patiently, and limiting cutting depth to ensure structural integrity. The session emphasizes attention to detail for a visually appealing design and encourages viewers to explore additional YouTube tutorials for further insights, particularly on creating a curved ramp.

Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure the contour is created accurately, similar to previous designs.
• 🏗️ The driveway leads directly to the basement, requiring careful design.
• 🌍 Set the soil thickness correctly to avoid issues with the wall structure.
• ✏️ Use the cut-out tool in 3D views for creating basements effectively.
• 🔄 Edit cut-outs in plan view to refine the basement design further.
• ⏳ Patience is crucial when adding points to ensure a detailed and accurate design.
• ⚖️ Be mindful of calculation time; maximize the number of points judiciously.
• 🔒 Limit the cutting depth to maintain soil integrity and allow for texturing.
• 🎨 Choose appropriate textures after cutting to enhance the basement appearance.
• 📺 Utilize additional YouTube tutorials for learning advanced techniques, such as creating curved ramps.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the tutorial?

The tutorial focuses on creating a driveway that leads to a basement using 3D design software.

What is the first step to start creating the driveway and basement?

The first step is to ensure that the ground contour has been created, similar to the previous small island project.

How do you adjust the height of the soil in the design?

You adjust the height of the soil by setting the floor height to 2 meters and adjusting the wall position to -2 meters to maintain the zero ground line.

What tool is used to create the basement in the 3D views?

The polygonal cutout tool is used to define the shape of the basement in the 3D views.

Why is it important to limit the cutting depth when creating the basement?

Limiting the cutting depth to 1.9 meters ensures that there is a 0.1-meter layer of soil remaining for texturing, preventing the basement from being fully open.

How can users add more detail when creating the basement shape?

Users can add more detail by right-clicking to add additional points during the shape definition process.

What should users be mindful of when adding points to the shape?

Users should balance the number of points added with the calculation time, as more points can lead to longer processing times.

What should be done after the basement is cut out?

After the basement is cut out, users should switch to plan view to make further precise adjustments.

Where can users find additional tutorials related to creating ramps?

Users can find additional tutorials on the YouTube channel, where they can watch videos on creating curved ramps.

What is the final step mentioned in the tutorial regarding the basement?

The final step is to apply a material texture to the basement to indicate it is not fully open, enhancing its visual representation.
