I believe you can. This link is for AutoCAD 2022 but should still apply. help.autodesk.com/view/ACD/2022/ENU/?guid=GUID-E40AB085-5A19-4E3E-A74C-82F62DCD0DDB Hope this helps!

Hmmm this is most likely an issue with the settings you have. Try going to your units and set it up in architectural units and see if that helps. It may be because it's in metric or decimal.

We'll keep that in mind for future videos, thanks!

For sure! Find a blank space on the ribbons and right click. You'll see an option that says "undock". Click that and then the entire toolbar will become a floating box, much like when you are using commands. Simply drag this to the top and release. It should snap right in place!

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the video helpful.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It is possible, but its an intensive process and quite difficult and honestly I'd need to look into it more. The issue is you need the 6 holes in the same location and you want them to move with the scaling while retaining their positions. When you scale it will scale ALL selected items. The easiest way to do this is to re-draw the item from scratch. I'll see about making some content on this!

I've personally never used the feature, but I'll look into it and get back to you!

This tutorial is for beginners to floor plans who would have a basic understanding of the program. We have other videos that cover the information you require!

Hi, sorry about the late reply. It seems our message didn't post last time! You can find them here www.verweydraftinginc.com/dwgresources

Yes, you can. You can grab the end and pull it up, however it would probably be quicker to delete the line, start the line where you want it, type in the distance you want it to be, press tab to switch to degrees, and make is 0 (depending on your settings and should your snap settings not allow for that)

Rectangles should be automatically adjustable if you select the rectangle. It can then be dragged in any direction from the corners, or just the selected side!

Thanks for the comment! You can pan around the program by holding the middle mouse button and dragging your courser to move around the program. I'll get a video queued for the next week or two that goes over the basic movement commands of the program to help you out a bit. Hope this helps! David

Thanks, glad it was helpful to you!

You're welcome!

You can X-Ref, we have a video on that topic!

Would depend on what you'd be comfortable with. All versions contain the basics needed in order to design what you described. You can import existing blocks and start using them almost right away in all (recent) versions. There's nothing wrong with going with AutoCAD 2024 or lower if you can get the software cheaper. Again, basic functionality stays the same. The Z Axis is mostly used for 3D drawing yes. If you're just doing 2D design, you'll almost never touch the Z axis.

I've tried to replicate this, however it doesn't seem like I can... Make sure you go to "units" and see if the selection comes up. What are the other options you get in the dropdown?

Units we are using in this video are the defaults, so the type is "Decimal" in inches. If you're using a different unit type it will vary!

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll look at putting one together. Stay tuned!

That's quite alright, most of the commands and everything should work correctly regardless of version, however there will be changes or commands you wont be able to use, but the principles stay the same!

Thanks! Glad you think so!

It is... different for sure!

Check your snap settings in the bottom lefthand corner of the screen, find a combination that works and you'll be good!

Glad you enjoyed!

Glad you think so!

Happy to hear that!

Glad you liked it!

No worries hope you enjoy! We are currently offering a free webclass, feel free to check it out here: www.verweydraftinginc.com/webinar-registration

No worries! If you're interested in more materials or some more information about AutoCAD and the importance of properly learning how to use the program, check out our free webclass www.verweydraftinginc.com/webinar-registration

Hi Nicholas, I'll actively search for a solution on my free time. I've tried replicating your issue for a while now and I can't seem to recreate it. If you have OSNAP on then turn it off when you're inserting blocks (can be toggled by pressing F3) Once I have a solution I'll respond here, or maybe even post a video about it if its complex enough. Hope this helps!

You should be able to type into the command bar "UNITS", select "Architectural" from the first drop down menu. If this doesn't fix it, What version of AutoCAD are you using? (Year and type, etc. 2025, AutoCAD LT)

Glad you enjoyed :)

So it depends if you're doing 3D or 2D. What can be used in 3D is you can apply a material to the 3D surface, while making sure the visual style you're using in AutoCAD allows "Materials and Textures" to be displayed. For a 2D object, hatching a solid colour is the way to do what you described. One thing you can try is to type in "UCS" into the command bar and go into the plane that you want to fill in (example, instead of doing a "top" view you want "right" view) press enter once you type UCS and then you'll see a bar show up, press the down arrow key on your keyboard and a few options will show up. Use the arrow key to highlight "view" and then press enter. This will change the coordinate system so that it matches up with your work plane. When you do this you should be able to hatch. To switch back simply do the above, except instead of selecting "view" select "global" and press enter. This will bring you back to the normal grid positioning. Hope this helps!

@@VerweyDraftingInc thanks a lot brother. All of these worked out. I used both the materials method and UCS. Thanks again & good luck man!!!

Anytime, glad I could help!

Glad this helped! I will say, this is an extremely simplified floor plan just so you can get a feel for floor plan workflow. If you're going to be doing architecture, I'd recommend taking a look at AutoCAD Architecture. It's AutoCAD but has tools specific to architecture, and everything we did in this video can be done in under a minute as blocks, floors, walls, and even hatching is completed for you to some extent. We'll be posting more advanced work later on when we have the time!

I also downloaded yesterday and got to learn a lot from his video. thank you

@@MEGASTHENESINDIABIHAR-m3d Glad to help!

Scratch that, your video answered my question (after some more investigation and replays)!

The main purpose of this tutorial is to get as much information across as we can in under 10 minutes for people who have never used the program before. It is impossible to get a complete understanding of something in 10 minutes! This gives an overview of the functions you can expect to use in AutoCAD 3D. This wasn't meant to be a comprehensive tutorial on every line item, as that would take many hours! If more in depth and specific help is required, please check out our channel for more specific videos! Conversely, if we do not have a video on a topic you would like to see covered, please reach out and let us know what you'd like and we can add it to our queue!

Absolutely!

To get the ribbon to show up type "RIBBON" in the command bar to turn on the ribbon. If you want to see all the tools its possible the ribbons are in a minimized state. To fix this find the ribbons (such as "home", "solid", "surface", etc) and go all the way to the end of these words. At the end you'll see a solid square (should be white if you're in dark mode) with a triangle/arrow pointing up/down and a dropdown menu right beside it. Click the arrow in the solid coloured box and it should change how your ribbons appear. Let me know if this helps!

Glad to hear, and hope our tutorials help!

Are you using the Mac or Windows version of AutoCAD?
