Today @ work #230714



Hallo an alle, ich habe schon ein wenig beschäftigt seit Anfang der Woche, daher meine Abwesenheit hier.
Just in case you don't understand what you just read, Google translator is your friend.

I created a new floor for my kitchen designs, it is actually easier dragging and dropping items than creating a new one all the time, in case you have noticed me using the same type of floor tiles. But you know, no two designs can be the same thing, there has to be something different, before all my kitchens starts to look alike.

Back to the business of today.

Palette Cad Installation and Training

One CAD program with so many benefits.
Hello everyone, i just discovered a toy (software) that i have been searching for over two years! can you believe that, trust me people this is not the regular interior designing software you see on the streets. Although i have been designing with this application since mid 2012, and i have never been able to get my own copy of the installation file. God made things beautiful as always and i got it on Monday!

So here we are: Introducing the most efficient interior designing software, PaletteCad !

We all know that one major constraint in this business is Time! From the moment you take measurements and get your clients brief, the client will be anticipating to see the 3D of the brief. The regular interior design softwares (Google Sketchup, Revit, 3D max, Archi Cad, AutoCad 3D et al) can not solve the problem of this constraint in creating bespoke designs with high-quality presentations and outstanding representations at a limited time.

With Palette CAD, you can design two to three times faster than with conventional methods and save up to 90% of your work preparation time.

Palette CAD is designed to make everything easier so that you can concentrate on one thing and one thing only: your job. More specifically, it comes packed with incredible features and an intuitive ease of use that let you focus on what you want instead of on figuring out how to do it.


A revolutionary interface design, innovative user guidance, a wealth of improved and new features, and the knowledge that your customers and prospective buyers will spend days on end wondering how you achieved such stunning results.

Specifically developed for contractors and medium-sized specialist companies, Palette CAD is sure to be of interest to anyone who wants to design more quickly, better and more successfully yet with little effort. Palette CAD closes the gap between simple, inflexible, off-the-shelf design programs and highly specialized, ultra-complex CAD applications.  And that's why it's the ideal alternative.

The benefits of Palette CAD at a glance:

Palette CAD is intuitive to operate. You will have created your first design after only a few hours.
With Palette CAD, you can design two to three times faster than with conventional methods and save up to 90% of your work preparation time.

But the best thing of all is: Palette CAD is open.  You can input, photograph or design individual objects yourself.
Within your sector-specific package, you will find all the products, materials and tools that you need for your work.

With high-quality presentations and outstanding representations, you can produce successful quotations, achieve better orders and gain more satisfied customers.

With Palette CAD, you can automatically create detailed, accurately dimensioned manufacturing drawings and bills of materials.

If you like, integrate Palette CAD seamlessly into the control system for your CNC machines and your commercial management system.

I have designed 3 different packages, contact me and we will discuss which one suits you or your company.

Additional features:

  • I will include a well equipped library for designing anything within a time frame.
  • Pick and drop method of designing at your finger tip.
  • Subsequent installations or re-installation on the same system will be at half the price of the first. installation. 
  • Trainees will be thought how to use the software to it's full potential, designing kitchens and wardrobes seamlessly. 



Move with the trend and join me on the fast lane creating customer satisfaction with Palette Cad.

Please note: The software is not for sale, contact me only for installation and training.

Google Sketchup the life changer, continued

Kitchen in 3D
After about an hour, I finished downloading the software, my phone battery was so hot then it could boil noddles. I quickly rushed home transferred the software from my phone to my laptop and installed it.

With no sort of manual or trainer, i started using the the software on my own, i basically trained myself. With sleepless nights designing and reading on how to utilize the software to it's full potential, i grew into it.

After using Google sketchup for over a year, it was evident that there was nothing i cant draw as long as i can imagine how it looks like. I draw with so much precision and details that it awes my colleagues and boss then, their praises i use as grease to rub my burning elbows while i forge ahead in my conquest of ruling my world.

Switched coy in mid 2012. Moved to a greener pasture, you know when the grass is greener, the effort to mow will be tougher! I got the job through Google Sketchup. Although the Cad they are familiar with was Palette Cad, I bought my way in through what I had mastered over two years. 

During my time at the new company, i did various designs which included kitchen, bedroom, hotel and office furniture.

Every time I look back and remember that fateful day that I downloaded the software that changed my life, I can not but smile and be grateful to God.

Enough about my boring self! I have switched app now though, but Google Sketchup will forever be my first love.

Below are few of my designs using Google Sketchup.

Kitchen Perspective 1

 Hi everyone, today i designed kitchen and wardrobe cabinets for a client today 14/07/2014.

1. Kitchen

Kitchen Perspective 2
The kitchen layout shows an expansive space with a lot of room to work with, but the client just wanted a particular portion of the space to be used for cabinets. The laminate color used for the design is Romana Cherry & Tobacco Aida Walnut. The darker shade is the Tobacco Aida and it works well with the Romana Cherry or any other lighter laminate brand.
Island
I saw the design for this particular island while i was browsing sometime ago, and when this client requested for an island in her kitchen i quickly modeled the island and it fits perfectly into the space.

2. Wardrobe
Perspective


The open shoe rack cabinet in this design is 900w x 600d x 2000h. it consists of 7 layers of double shoe rack. (although the inner layer cannot be seen from the design)

Each layer can fit 8 pair of shoes, this means that a total of 56 pairs can actually fit into the cabinet.

You can see from the elevation below that two hangers are implored into the wardrobe

Thanks for checking my blog today, hope to see more of your visit.

Today at work #090714

This blog will feature daily designs that i do for various clients, their names will obviously be cropped from the drawings for privacy reasons. No need for people seeing their names flying round the internet without getting permission from them.

The software i am using at the moment is PaletteCad 3D v5.1 for interior design. One major setback (not really) about this software is that it was programmed in German! which means that every word is not familiar. The first three weeks of its use was stressful as i needed to cross check what some words meant in English ( that was in 2012). I was still switching between Google Sketchup and my new found love then. I will find time to talk about my experience with Google Sketchup and how i stumbled on it randomly while browsing then with my Nokia E63 (2010), mehn i miss that phone too.

I have gotten so used to the software now, you will be surprised at how i move effortlessly from one page to another as if German is my mother tongue. (my favourite quote in German : Alles racht sich irgendwann) 

Back to the order of the day. So this client requested for some designs of kitchen, wardrobe and a closet all in Mahattan Cherry laminate. Follow me as i walk you through each designs analyzing what inspires each.

1. Master's closet
master's closet
In this room, the client requested for a lot of space for hanging clothes and folding as well, but a lot of emphasis was laid on the word Hanging" which i wrote down as i was taking the brief. So i designed an open door closet which also has open shoe rack cabinet (although) that was not in the brief, guess they must have omitted the shoe rack. 

How can you have a successful closet without a shoe rack huh?

2. Wardrobe 2

 The regular wardrobe space i had to play with, not much anyways so i just made sure everything of worth was incorporated into the space. Talking about hanging units, drawers, shoe racks 3 layers (not bad), shelves.

3. Kitchen Cabinets




This is my favorite part of the house #FoodThings. There is enough space at the center of the room so i said why not insert an island, why not. I have modeled various designs of islands, the other job there was to find the befitting one for each model that will work with the laminate color picked by the client.  
How i love SPACE when designing kitchens, it allows me to test and play around with the designs as i like, unlike kitchens with limited space (if you missed my article on how to design a kitchen with limited space click here)

This particular kitchen comes with various accessories such as the System drawer, hydraulic wall unit system, electric hood extractor and lots more. Peradventure you missed my article on kitchen accessories you can't do without? no worries click here 


4. Door

flush door with glass
The last item, is the door. I designed several doors for the client, but this particular door is meant for the dining room door to the kitchen. Peeping on them cooking is not a bad idea especially when you are famished and all you keep getting is "it will soon be ready" not as if peeping will hasten the cooking but sure it helps your worms!

The design is a flush doors with a 6mm transparent framed glass.

The comment section is available for your opinion or thought/comments on any of the designs. Remember all these designs can be done differently by another designer, why don't you tell me how you would have wanted your designs to turn out if these designs were yours.
