hey everyone and welcome back to the the channel never have I ever thought I
would create this diagram and actually understand all of the layers it comes
with because I'm a construction noob so I am really happy and excited to share
with you guys so let's get started the first thing you need to do is import
your CAD plan so you will need SketchUp Pro for this but as you can see I'm just
using the trial if you don't have SketchUp Pro you can take a screenshot
of your plan and import the image and try to get that to scale
that works pretty well too then you have to delete all of the unnecessary
drawings from your file if you need to and then always edit within the group as
it makes this diagram a lot easier to handle in the future a little background
to the project before we start the project is a mobile modular zero-carbon
prefabricated project so for the foundation I am using temporary steel
screw piles so that the building is moveable from one site to another and it
also fits on a sloping site and a flat site I have looked for actual screw PI
foundation but for some reason I settled for just screws and this is a perfect
example for do as I say and not as I do because look for screw pile foundations
if you're using them
then we are going to add the ground floor and I'm using concrete floor
because of a thermal mass and that it can retain heat and then slowly releases
it at night
for external walls, I am using sips panels which are prefabricated panels made from
insulation sandwiched between two layers of
OSB I always have to add some kind of food referencing my sentence a stone
type these panels have a low hue comparing to a traditional masonry and
are prefabricated in a controlled environment making them highly
sustainable construction method and as you can see my plans were derived from
900 millimeter panels because these panels can be switched with a panel that
has a door opening that is wide enough for a wheelchair access
it can also be window panels they could also be passageways I didn't find the
material for the insulation block that I wanted so I just went for white color
and I think it still works well so what's good thing about making
components is that if you change one you actually change all of them so in the
future if you needed to change the height of these panels the width of them
it makes it super easy so definitely make sure you are making everything as
components as you can see I've created a connection between the two panels and
I've only edited one component but that logically affects all of the other
components so that's why you need to make components and then add the three
panels together from each side make about eight square meter which is a
space that allows for two people to sit there comfortably next time changing
this panel to a unique component to make the opening from my window
and then all you have to do is literally copy that panel across to all of your
plans and I'm also making the column as a component just to make sure that I can
adjust it in the future if I need to the panels are able to support themselves
without the need of columns however when you actually want to replace the panels
and offer flexibility over the seasons you can then replace as you wish with
the support of these columns at the corners of each unit these columns also
offer great stability when these units are craned to the site
then make sure as soon as you finish any layer to group it because we will have
to rearrange those layers once we are done with the diagram or the models so
that it's easier for you to rearrange so for the roof construction it comprises
of SIP panels again so I am copying the ground floor placing it to the top and
then editing the roof also within the group because the spaces on the right
will be double heighted spaces and the roof construction is a bit different
which we will get into in a bit
so for the roof lights and the double-height spaces I am using layers
of cork and timber to create why my instructor calls the Beehive I never
thought I'd model a beehive but what do you know the roof is also made from panels
of 900 millimeter panels so that I can make one and then copy that across the
plant if making this model that easy because everything is so modular then
I'm definitely thinking that actually building and constructing this house
would be a piece of cake again another food reference get over
yourself Rasha
and I also have this beam to support the double-headed space and the to roof so
I'm just adding that between the columns and that doesn't have to be a component
but you do have to add it into the group and then I'll be copying the windows
from my actual model placing it on this model and then remove any unnecessary
elements and then move the window frame to the opening I've also added the lines
or the connections between the window and the wall but I eventually deleted
those and just added them in Photoshop just to make everything consistent so do
as you wish if you want to do that in Sketchup or in Photoshop
so then for the final layout you can keep it with the materials which I might
do for my final presentation however this was just a quick presentation that
I used it for so I wanted it to have an unfinished feel to kind of go with my
unfinished presentation boards so I turned it into a white model but feel
free to leave it with materials if you would like
and then try to arrange everything so that all of the layers are visible maybe
even more visible than how I left it
and that is final diagram I added a few lines and Photoshop to show the
connections and then you can also add some text to explain the elements and
that is all for today's video let me know what you thought of this diagram
and if it was helpful give this video a like and share as it really helps the
channel and also let me know what you guys been up to because I really miss
you I haven't uploaded for about two weeks eyes I've been so busy with my
presentation so I just want to check in and see what you guys are doing I've I
do know that some of you are also doing like 8 submissions in two days I wish
you guys all of the best I'm Rasha Shrourou and I will see you next time
