This is still new and Andrew was working pretty hard to get it released, so expect it to be a little buggy early on for now. That said, its probably the best interior modeler for me personally just based on how powerful it is and how easy it is to use.
It is important to draw your rooms clockwise. Walls have an inside and outside. If you find cabinets are snapping to the wrong side then you drew the walls counter-clockwise.
If someone has this cabinets placed outside the wall problem - just make sure your measure line is outside when you draw the wall, then their whole orientation will be just fine.
Good stuff! If anyone else didn't immediately understand what the measure line is, it is the thin gray line visible next to the wall when you build it. If you build the room clockwise, I think you'll be good.
The CG Essentials - I forgot to add first and foremost, great video! Very clear explanation / demo! I posted the error I was receiving on Andrew's site.
If your Blender keeps crashing when you click on products, its because most of the addons are broken with the new blender version, try to use it in blender 3.6.5
At 8.00 minutes - the reason the cabinet is snapping to the outside of the room is because walls have an inside and outside and so you have to build your room in a clockwise direction. You built this anticlockwise. I didn’t work this out by the way … Andrew mentions it in a video! Good to know though.
Have only started messing around with the walls and i am already in love! Thank you so much for sharing! I am still very much a noob to Blender, having only been using it for a few months. Can manually make a low poly model and have used the built in Archimesh but this seems leagues ahead and looks like you can end up with some pretty high quality lay outs. And hopefully learn a lot more with Blender in general using it! Look forward to watching more of your vids! Thank you again! Cheers!
HOLY CRAP!!!!!! I made a room, and I am for all points and purposes a blender idiot. Used CAD for 30 years, yeah I'm old, started playing with blender. Looking for a local crack dealer to get me through the learning curve. Saw this and thought, yeah sure let's try it. HOLY CRAP, ok, I've decided the creator can be president of the world, get all the hot chicks, whatever he wants. This is friggin amazing. Like seriously. Ok my room may be a bit moronic, I have a toilet and bath six feet from my kitchen, but I was just trying it. A few false starts, all my fault and then, quick as hell, room, cabinets, floor, lights, doors. Still a huge amount to learn, need to figure out how to get more stuff to put in the rooms, but seriously, get this if you are doing any architecture, if nothing else than for the absolute ease of laying out floors. I did see with massive regret his overlay for blender that made it less of an insane workspace, wish it was still being updated💯
Thank you for the great tutorials. I got a problem, with adding doors and so on, everytime I click on a door to move it to the walls, I got a error on it. I can`t add anything to my 4 walls and floor. I have followed your video. Do you had any problem with this ? or have any suggestions to what to do. I have windows 10 and no error on installing the blender or addon. everything is fine. I also enabled the phyton, so I have all the products, but I can`t add them to my building. I have also selected the walls before I try to add. I will go back to 2.4 and the simple version of it for now. I am a newbe and still learning, but thanx to your videos I have come very far in learning, so thank you for your videos.
Please include conversions to mesh in the videos. How do we convert these hooks to mesh for exporting or editing? Also, I am sure we could incorporate our own models into this kit somehow...
Can I add some custom materials-textures from the net or self generated textures? I would like to add some marble textures on the kitchen front. thx and thx for the tutorial.
I can't close the room properly. The last wall, does not blend the angle with the first wall. 4 wall room. the floor also goes a little further than the walls. I get the developer still working, maybe he'll fix it in further updates. Installation went fine

Fantastic video! superior review! Never tried this tool, looks great. And i see anything for architect there. Making walls/door/windows isn't architecture)))) and there are a ton of tools way better in blender from box. By the all, awesome work. Thanks
I've got a problem. When i drag to place a cabinet it doesn't automatically snap to the wall and I can't rotate it properly. Do you have any solutions?
bro the popup menu that you talked about to run python scripts, when I check that checkbox and run it, it closes my complete blender file, and disable the addon when I reopen it again
Whenever I try to reload the library, which for me is empty, Blender crashes. When I relaunch blender, the addon is disabled. After enabling the addon again, the library is still empty. Is there something else I have to install? Trying on blender 4 and Home Builder 3. Thank you
im curious if i can make custom assets to be used with this addon to build a cartoony set for my character and if not can i mold the geometry into the shapes i want
This is awesome but i'am having problems with the pyton scripts when trying to place products in the scene, u talk about a little menu...but i dont know what u mean, i need heeeelp please!
hi there, I noticed my Blender file started getting so slow after adding so many walls, doors and windows. For this project, I'm working on real scale 1:1. Is that the reason it's slow? I'm afraid I'll have to redo the whole work in a smaller scale. Will that help?
when i click products, about, build, decorations, it crashes blender who closes up itself with no warning and I lost my progress. Even after opening as administrator and having python 3.11 installed.
I use floor plans to create dispensary buildouts and the one thing I find frustrating is the ability extrude walls inward to create inner spaces. It always snaps to where the last wall ends. Any thoughts on what I am missing?
Can this be used for non-right angles and the ability to save/reuse assets? There are towers I'd like to create that are circular so I'd like to make use of that, if it's an option.
Let me start by saying; love the tutorials, that's why I'm a subscriber. I tried to use Homebuilder by I'm getting this error when I try to drag and drop anything "PYTHON ITraceback" and something about a file hb_ops.py.and a bunch of switches. Can you help me figure this out or point me in the right direction to get answers? Thank you for your time. >>> >>>

I've been wanting to use Blender as an architectural visualization tool so this awesome!
Can u create tutorials on speedtree?
@TheCGEssentials my right click is not opening the prompts what should I do pls tell me😢
Build the walls from right to left to fix your problem with snapping, kitchen cabinet
Sorry left to right will work properly withe the snapping
so glad to have all this stuff for free.. Thanks to all the developers and artists.

So intuitive and simple. Can't thank you enough.
Glad you liked it!

i didnt test it yet, but u also can see where its facing and changin it perhaps?
This is cool; it helps a lot in creating the interior fast and also works fine with Mac. Thanks Justin!!!
thanks a lot for your architectural add-on updates. 👍

It reminds me of good old Fluid Designer, but much more newer and seems like without more furniture. Good add-on to remember

That was awesome

thx and thx for the tutorial.
another fantastic video thankyou
Andrew is a legend!
I installed it and it reported some errors. I can't even uninstall it as it will give me more errors. I have Blender 3.4.1.
Is there a way to add custom sci fi doors and windows? There's some real potential in this tool.
Is there a roof top available to view the exterior design?
Awesome!
Brilliant!
I can't close the room properly. The last wall, does not blend the angle with the first wall. 4 wall room. the floor also goes a little further than the walls. I get the developer still working, maybe he'll fix it in further updates. Installation went fine
Almost similar to archipack addon....its a good addon
And Archimesh? which is already in Blender as an addon.
Seems like a great Ad on, except for making diagonal walls. All walls have to be at right angles.

hey your problem was you can only draw clockwise in homebuilder. if you draw any other way that will happen

how do you get the products menu (as in how do you get the option to download those cabinets, doors, etc.)?

I'm not sure if this is the right tool for towers, though I suppose it depends on the kind of towers you're trying to create
