Mir Ali Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Hey everyone ! I really need to know what CAD software is use to make such plans. While it appears to be made in AutoCAD, I can't figure out as to how it has taken this form from the conventional 2d plan with just lines. Patterns and hatches could be the possible application for the outcome; however, I am curious to listen to cadtutor members. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD USER Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Dear Mir Ali, Of course it's possible, because in 2008 I worked with Consultant company and they design new City in Kuwait. and I was also part of this design, so i can believe this, it can be made in AutoCAD 2D. but it will consume lots of time.

f700es Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Color and gradient hatches with some inserted raster files FTW (for the win) Very doable in r2012. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asos2000 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I believe that lines in AutoCAD and Coloring in Photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f700es Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I believe that lines in AutoCAD and Coloring in Photoshop. Most certainly can or Illustrator/Corel Draw. I think the vector programs might be better imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCADnoob Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Most certainly can or Illustrator/Corel Draw. I think the vector programs might be better imho. If i were to do it id probably CAD and import to inkscape or equivalent vector graphics program. The only element i think that might not be able to be created in CAD would be the edge defined gradient. I think everything else could be done in CAD.

Cad64 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have done a lot of these graphics by printing my CAD file to pdf and then coloring in Photoshop, but I have also done it in Autocad. I prefer doing it in Photoshop though. It all depends on personal preference and what you're most comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 To many years using Autocad and one area it struggles a bit is in gradient colours like others have mentioned, maybe RGB colour and transparency on hatches. Our ARCGIS does a much better output of shaded plans. Again like others into photoshop etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mir Ali Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Color and gradient hatches with some inserted raster files FTW (for the win) Very doable in r2012. Can you illustrate about the "inserted raster files"? maybe you can post some link for the purpose. I believe that lines in AutoCAD and Coloring in Photoshop. This seems plausible. I want to know if I have to colour my landuse plan what tutorial should I take for this? I would ask the source how the image was created. It's a landuse plan for new development prepared by a local real estate company. To many years using Autocad and one area it struggles a bit is in gradient colours like others have mentioned, maybe RGB colour and transparency on hatches. Our ARCGIS does a much better output of shaded plans. Again like others into photoshop etc. Are you saying it's more useful to import you AutoCAD drawing and apply the colours than it is in the other GFX sofware?

Mir Ali Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Post a dwg SMALL and we can have a mini competition about making it look pretty and how we did it. Ps no prize just bragging rites. I am no expert at AutCAD; however, I've made a few landuse plans here there. This drawing is section a leaf-city that I made, with immense help from the cadtutor members (you can see my past posts), and I had originally left the colouring part because I found it very nuisance colouring the all the objects.. colours.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski_Me Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think Visio could do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
