Architectural Multistorey Building Tutorial – Part Two – First and Second Floor  

Hi and welcome back to part two tutorial on “Architectural Multistorey Building” tutorial series. In this part we are going to learn modeling first and second floor. As we have already finished modeling the ground floor it is time to go further and model structure above the ground floor.

Now let us start to create first floor first and later we can go ahead with second floor. Let us use line diagram that we created using the floor plan done in AutoCAD. Let us the diagram as the profile for the first floor as well.

Now let us right click and convert it to “Editable Poly”. There are several ways to convert an object to a polygon. One way is to right click the object in the active viewport and select “Convert to > Editable Poly” from the pop-quad menu. Another way is to right-click the object with the “Modifier Stack”. In the “Modify” Panel, click the “Modifier List” drop down list and select “Edit Poly”. Once it is converted to “Editable Poly” let us “Extrude” the polygon to a height of 3.0 meters as shown below.

So now we have finished creating a rough model of the first floor. Let us start working on it by adding other components of the building like windows, doors, cornice, etc. For this we have create designs separately and then attach it to first floor. First let us start working with window, so let us create geometry using “Line” tool and the same can be used as window out line shape and later we can tweak with it and create somewhat realistic window.
