#IS SWEET HOME 3D BIM HOW TO#

But yeah I have also wrestled with the idea on how to represent them in a more meaningful way. They can be nested in other Areas, can contain items, and items themselves can contain Areas or other items. We have been working on an idea for 'Areas', also commonly referred to as Zones in the Professional Organizer world, which are like folders and do not have a physical QR label associated with them. Similar to Sortly but we are highly correlated with the QR code labels ( right now ). I am working on a QR code based home inventory system, Stor.Guru. It is not rocket science and you don't need 100 hours of training in ArchiCAD, there are much simpler programs available, that are a freebie as well, personally, I use Sweethome3D. You can have a go at drawing your own plans using the measurements from the other plans. So just have a double check that what you have planned actually requires a planning application at all.

For example nowadays we have relaxed Planning Laws whereby certain home extensions can be built without the need of submitting a full planning application, under Permitted Development Rights. planning laws have changed significantly in recent years, so the planning law that applied to the other house maybe defunct and no longer applicable to your plans. If you are downloading them off the planning portal though just make sure the scale is correct as sometimes these databases can mess with the aspect ratio of the plans.īear in mind as well when this planning application was submitted as well. You may want to do a bit of cutting out of the Architects details with your copy though as they could technically cause you of copyright infringement, although I don't know how many architects would be that bothered. This is not that different to what you propose here.Ĭome to think of it I have used someone else's plans for my own planning application in the past, although the plans were of the same building. Developers submit applications all the time with the same house types just copy and pasted, they would never draw each individual house and they use their same house type plans on multiple sites across the UK.

I don't think there is anything particularly illegal with what you are doing from a planning point of view.
