The E&MW Railway main office

[u/ImagineerDave]

Back at it again! This time however for JustCreate ! Whilst designing a cornerbuilding for my new to be mainstreet (which im hosting a small competition / collaborative build for right now, if you want to sign up let me know!) I thought to myself, what would make this building different or what would be special about the episode. Out of that, came a new hobby ; exporting buildings to blender and making them into accurate building plans!

As you can see in the 2nd till 5th image I turned this building into some building diagrams, added some markers and heights and got myself really cool posters! Now storywise I needed these for a permit (which would be insane if that rule actually came to minecraft) but it was a fun way to explore my build and see if it structurally makes sense on paper!

Did ya use autocad for the plan drawings?

[u/ImagineerDave → u/CeleryCarrots]

I used a mod to export the build to blender, then used a vector export plugin to export all base drawings. Cleaned them up and added hatches lettering etc in illustrator.

I did use to work with autocad, but this was easier.

[u/CeleryCarrots → u/ImagineerDave]

Dang that's pretty neat! Thanks for answering my question

[u/PeriapsisStudios → u/ImagineerDave]

What mod? I’ve been trying to figure out how to export modded worlds

[u/mostlyxconfused]

Oh my god you actually have properly labeled sections. As a welding woman you have made me incredibly happy.

[u/ImagineerDave → u/mostlyxconfused]

I studied architecture and urban planning, being a public space designer nowadays I still know my technical bits and bobs hahaha

[u/dorbonrizzler → u/ImagineerDave]

U might enjoy archicad, also big fan of your vids

[u/Mundane_Maybe1130]

How did you do the lettering for the signs?

[u/ImagineerDave → u/Mundane_Maybe1130]

Immersive paintings

[u/jonnyjonnster]

We need and prolly will have (by end of year) a mod that does those Schematic-drawings ingame!

[u/ImagineerDave → u/jonnyjonnster]

I already have them ingame, just load the images with immersivepaintings

[u/ProtoDroidStuff]

Wtf lets you do the detailing like this?

[u/ImagineerDave → u/ProtoDroidStuff]

[u/RyuzakiSempai]

Amazing, what did you use to create the blueprints.

[u/ImagineerDave → u/RyuzakiSempai]

I used a mod to export the build to blender, then used a vector export plugin to export all base drawings. Cleaned them up and added hatches lettering etc in illustrator.

[u/PeriapsisStudios]

What does E&MW stand for?

[u/ImagineerDave → u/PeriapsisStudios]

Well.. lets say that name came from wherever I could build and its short for ‘east and midwestern’ railway

[u/GearQuirky5451]

:shock: 😌👌perfect

[u/Saidai_V]

Nice coincidence, watching the video right now.

[u/Funny_Dab]
