nicnac01 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi All, I'm a real newbie to autocad, i've slowly but surely got my head around the 'basic' functions of it and have managed to draw a floorplan... :) I'm feeling a real sense of achievement at getting to this stage as i was close to throwing in the towel a couple of days ago lol Anyway, i really would like to include some furniture onto my 2d plan; i.e sofa, units, etc; for some reason i thought these would be already included in the software. The symbols that i have managed to locate are very limited and are only architectural i.e windows, doorways. I can't find any tables, seating, etc. So my question is where can i find the pieces of furniture?? or do i need to custom make them (that sent chills!! lol) I hope all the above makes sense? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 hi and welcome to the forums! I recommend you start at CBEN.net, Cad Block Exchange network. Drawing your own is not that tricky, all depending on what level of detail you require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) You can also find furniture at the CADforum, CAD Corner and www.draftsperson.net for starters. Edited March 12, 2012 by ReMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicnac01 Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Many Thanks for replying!! I shall have a look at the sites as suggested, if need be i may attempt to just jump straight into drawing my own... The detailing would be pretty simple... i'm sticking to the easy option at the mo whilst trying to get to grips with it all!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Creating your own blocks is not difficult at all. Managing them effectively is the challenge. You could put them on a custom tool palette for easy access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
