Workflow for a New Building Project

When you start a building project, there is a general workflow to follow.

To use Buildings Space Planning to create a building, you need to complete the overall workflow as follows:

  1. Start a building project - Start a new building project when you first launch Buildings Space Planning. Or, start a new building project during the same session.
  2. Draw a sketch - The sketch serves as a basis for the mass. Create the sketch using the Rectangle or Line from the Building section of the action bar. Or, use a command from the Sketch section.

    Alternatively, draw the sketch after you begin to create a mass.

  3. Create a mass - To create a mass, use a sketch as the basis for the mass and add additional information such as the number of stories, story height, and slab thickness.

    You can instead begin to create the mass, create the sketch, and return to completing the mass.
