Thanks a lot for this Ian. You guys have created an amazing tool. I don't think a lot of blender users know about this tool yet. It'll be more awesome if you can create a blenderartists thread for this add-on, so people can help donate, contribute to development via suggestions and other means. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks to you and the add-on creator for this.. great job.. 03:18 -- actually we can go back in time and make changes to our model (to some extent).. let's say, you have added a floor and a balcony. Now expand the material tools option in the add-on (while in modeling mode) this will give you a list of face maps.. select any of those objects shown in the list and press Fn+F9.. this will allow you to edit properties of the selected object.. you can even add materials to your model in a similar fashion..
Oh... Just as I was about to model a bunch of houses by hand to make a scene... this comes out Awesome. Seems a bit raw, windows are weird but I sure as hell can make use of it and add something that I make myself. That's just awesome!
Dude I'm LITERALLY doing urban design right now for college, I was doing it manually like a few weeks ago, a bit too late knowing there's such powerful yet free add-on like this exists
Вместо модификотора array можно использовать ctrl + D, тогда можно будет расставить здания как угодно, но при этом, если изменять любое из них, будут изменяться все
That's just Awsomely Awsome :o , i think Twinmotion team should develop a direct link for Blender like the one for Sketchup and Archicad. It will be just the BIG STEP FORWARD.
Now if you could procedurally generate the entire building, inside and out, much like in "City Engine", so much work would be so finished so fast. This would be part of an overall effort to make Blender fully capable of procedurally generating full cities. now if only we could get "Blended Cities" back up and working.
This addon should become standard and update to use modifiers for more non-destructive workflows. Still going to see if I can squeeze this into my workflow for reconstructing my parents' house some day soon. Thanks!
For things like doors and windows it shoud really use non-destructive workflow and create them using booleans. Things like balconies, floors cna probably be made using modifiers. There is a room for improvement to make it more non-destructive.
I had trouble downloading the file, so here is what I did: You have to install it, this step is absent in the video. Download the file from the website and save it. Then in Blender, go to: Edit -> Preferences -> Install (top right of the pop up window) -> Select the zip file -> Search for "building tools" and you should see it. Click the box to the left of it so a checkmark shows up -> Have fun with the tutorial :D
This is great! This has so much potential. If only Blender add a (non) destructive extrude/face pull like Sketchup, this would be a game changer! Question, is there a way to import a flat floor plan (SVG file) and sill use the building tools? Like lets say I want to make buildings that have letters as their base floor plan shape and want to building up from there?
its not, i build serveral buidings and after 24 or some, i click on my map to show unselected and FUK, the window of the tool is gone, no chance to become this bag, so you have to deleted all the project and start from 0 again to become this fking window to manage the buildings !!! in any case its not a time saver its a time waste written by stupid kids who has no clure how to make a plugin...! fk all this playstation generation fking india kids
@Eltaurus @ImYourEnder You two guy are dumb and dumber 🤦 he is not talking about any Windows, MasOS or Linux! He is talking about a WINDOW a normal window that you have in your room.
Perfect video man! New subs here! Thanks for you video! Have another plugin for another anythings? Tree, mounts... like this plugin on the video. Thank you!
There is mountain addon in Blender already it It is called Landscape. But if u need a good tree addons then there are good addons that u can buy (there are also free ones but not as good a paid ones).
@@jcmc1111 roof creation , bam ... closes instantly if things are slightly complicated , but that was few months ago when I came across it maybe it is better now
Thank you for featuring the addon on your channel and for the lovely comments of all you're viewers.
Cheers Everyone.

this literally changes everything, thank you so much, i would often spend a whole day on a house, now i spend 10 minutes on one
Cant wait to try it out.
OMG im working on a project rn that requires me to make a city, this is a life saver!!!
your right!!
the more I learn about blender the more I realise that I love this software and how could I have made it so far in life without it
watching this and I am just imagining a scene in my head rn with the possibilities of this
go and do it!
And without ctrl+z
@@martinjakobson8835 lol I alrd do multiple ctrl z lol

you and Ranjian0 just saved me many many many days of modelling. Thanks!
The way you present this awesome addon is just the cherry on the top.
By far the greatest Blender add-on I've ever seen for architecture. Dope tutorial video. Thanks for the heads up. 👍
I'd love a Japanese/Chinese version of this that'll help creating pagodas, castles, and houses. I'm lazy lol.

I cant Install the add-on, can you pelase help ?
@@shubhamdholu5181 what you mean you can't? Did you get an error or something?
Now we all know you cheated :D
this is a real life saver for me kudos to the creators
Jesus, man!
This is mind-blowing thing, i absolutely adore it!
Thank you for showing it!
The topology is "good" too. A very common prob in the addon world
True
i absolutey LOVE this addon, makes work super easy
That is just a great time saver. Wow - thank you - great video.
this is soo important for Landscape Design and urban planning!!!
LOL love the way you say "Developers". Deh va LOPE uhs
Such an important tutorial to anyone level of Blender user! Thank you so much for creating and submitting!
my biggest complain would be the no stackable parameter that you can change. But vs manual modelling , this is better
Rajan lucky kadam is Indian🇮🇳 🤩thanks for making this plugins bhai
This is a pretty good addon for exteriors. Would like node tree UI and interiors though.
the developer deserve a noble prize
Life saver add on
You are excellent at presenting this. I need to take notes on your style.

Just watched the official video on this, then saw your video. Great tool.
@Youngky Prima The source/link is in the video description.
Great Tut! Fast and to the point.
oh my soul. This makes life 1000 easier!!!!!!!!

OMG if only I knew this last year... Especially the roof generating.
Thanks for bringing this awesome addon to our attention!
Out standing brother
This is awesome bro. Makes working easier. Thanks
Really wish I could like this video more than once ;-;
Thank you so much.
wow. This would be nice archimesh and archipack addon. Great vid.
“Simple!” Great demo and tutorial, thank you!
Awesome! Liked & Subbed. This is a great tutorial, well-done, and very pleasant and to the point. Thank you so much!
Wow, amazing add-on! Thanks for sharing!
This goes well with Curtis Holt's BY-GEN by the way.
I think you mean the scatter addon?
@@abhijanwasti7991 Nope, I mean the BY-GEN addon. I'm sure scatter could work though.
Yeah scatter would work amazing with this
This addon should become standard and update to use modifiers for more non-destructive workflows. Still going to see if I can squeeze this into my workflow for reconstructing my parents' house some day soon. Thanks!
it saved my day, thank you guy!
For things like doors and windows it shoud really use non-destructive workflow and create them using booleans. Things like balconies, floors cna probably be made using modifiers.
There is a room for improvement to make it more non-destructive.
Thnx NK. I've been needing something like this. I hope it has some medieval type options. Right on.
Thank God at least now they made that balcony tool to this addon
this was an extra fun video! you sound like you enjoyed making this one more
This is absolutely great! Thanks for sharing all this information.
It's a great add on for buildings 🔥🔥 it would be much greater if you were allowed to import your own custom floor plan for the add on to follow.
I had trouble downloading the file, so here is what I did:
You have to install it, this step is absent in the video. Download the file from the website and save it. Then in Blender, go to:

thanks so much i'm new to this. much love
I had some ideas that i can see myself doing now because of this! Nice find!
Massive respect to devs !
Wow, this would put SketchUp to shame. Awesome find. I'll certainly check it out.
Nice!!! Thank you for cool guide!)
I want to kiss the man who created this addon!
this plugin saved me.thanks
“Delete the default cube like always”
I was literally shouting thank you!
thanks so much for making this!! so informative!!
NIce! i love this plug in its good to know that they updated it!
This is great! This has so much potential. If only Blender add a (non) destructive extrude/face pull like Sketchup, this would be a game changer!

BRO THAT WAS SUCH A GOOD FIND AND TUTORIAL
This is an amazing Add-on. I am impressed.
You are life saver Bro Thanks 😍😍😍
Looks pretty impressive!
YES THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!
Great tool. Thanks for the heads up!
Thats Dope!
This is perfect for when you are a city planner in the post apocalypse dystopia.

Works great! Thanks!
This addon is supper cool.
8:35 "the same thing happens for the windows"
Does it happen for the MacOS too?
No you dumb, it’s Linux
@@IyeViking I am not dumb. I'm stupid.
@Eltaurus @ImYourEnder You two guy are dumb and dumber 🤦 he is not talking about any Windows, MasOS or Linux!
He is talking about a WINDOW a normal window that you have in your room.
@@somrender you are right. These guys are so dumb
@@jitensi Thank you
Wow this is actually good
i love you, no more words.
whoa this is awesome just in time!
Is it possible to create presets for doors and windows and stuff, like if I wanted to make a sci-fi building?
im working on a skateboarding map, perfect plugin !
Great stuff! Do you know if there's a similar tool for building roads, bridges, signs, etc.?
Sorry but there are not any addon for that kind of generator. you need to download or make it from scratch
It's a hell lot of time saver but what about the uvs and textures of all of these buildings if we are going to use for lowpoly game assets
For some reason an installation of this addon doesn't work but It works if you put btool folder from building_tools-master to blender addons folder.
thanks so much. I wasted minutes looking for a fix and finally, this worked!
It's the most amazing add on ever😍😍😍😍
SuperB thank for an update!
Wow! Awesome!
I love this tutorial. thanks
thanks you for the video and add ons :)
Looks like a great tool for greyboxing scenes and games.

what was buggy specifically?

If I ever have a lot of money, I'll erect a statue of blender dev an a giant plaque beside it for the addon makers
Clapping hands !
Thanks so much Brother.
Yay a add on that turns blender into a sims simulator lol
