Well I made some really ghetto floorplans using MS Paint and now I tried to upgrade. URLs....So yeah, goes to show you cant really do this with MS Paint.
see all the tools like blend, sharpen etc, I know what all that does but most of this stuff is for like editing photos. Im just trying to create some floorplans and stuff. Can't even find a way to make a rectangle-box like how I could do on MS Paint.
how to trace over floor plans such that the line quality is sketchy similar to architectural traces where the lines cross over each other, etc. Is there a way to edit a brush stroke where the path end extends beyond the box corner.
View 1 Replies View RelatedPart of my position requires me to upload a PDF of the layout for our floorplans. My question is- How do I make sure the layout stays the same every time? I plot to PDF several times a day and it seems like the second time I plot, the layout goes the opposite direction that I previously setup- under Page Setup Manager...
So, I have to start over several times, setting up the layouts when I wish I could just hit plot and go. Is there a save function I am missing here?
I want to start modeling homes. I work at a small company and my employer wants me to model and render some of his designs. I have access to all working drawings floor plans, elevations and roof plan so I was wondering what the best way is to make use of that for a 3D model?
I was thinking of trying revit but ACA seems easier to deal with. I don't need to build the interior and most projects are residential homes. I tried searching around and finding tutorials but couldnt find as much on autocad architecture.
I need to swap my level 1 and level 2 of my building's floorplans. What is the most efficient way to take the walls etc. from level two and place them on level 1, and take whats on level 1 and place them on level 2? I am swapping the floorplans.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am relatively new to AutoCAD LT and I am constructing floorplans and measuring the area in m2. My problem is that my areas are not adding up correctly. We are investigating possible future redesigning of units, and although the outer boundary of the building is the same, when I add up the individual units this total area does not add up correctly. While trying to figure out what was going on I traced one unit exactly on another layer and compared areas between the two identical polygons....and they have different areas!?!?!?
View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I looked up some tutorials on how to do this because I wanted to maybe create some grungey brushes from these photos I took but I can't seem to make a test of what the tutorials tell me to do turn up in my brush palette. I followed both of these tutorials: [URL]. Saved the files as .gbr and .gih (i think is the other one it told me to do) and neither show up with my brushes.
In a related matter, I've never been able to find an option to refresh my brushes, there's no refresh button with the rest of them down the bottom of the palette.
i like to create grip , all it gave me is to use the filter -> render -> grid plugin , now for my job all i want to do is if i have for example square image like 1530 x 1530 and i want that the grid will be 8 x 8 matrix , when the grid lines are 1 pix width.
i dont what to calculate the right spacing on each grid cell as the grid filter gives me i just what GIMP to calculate me the right spacing for this image and grip line width.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a bmp file from my xcf file (Gimp OSX 2.8.4). I do this by exporting it and choosing bmp as the file extension. When I look a the new image in Mac Preview, it looks OK. The image displays properly and the file type shows "Windows bitmap image" as its kind. All seems well...
However, when I try to use this file in OpenGL, it renders in green (its an image of natural wood). So what's up? I go to the command line and type "file wood.bmp" and the response is "wood.bmp: data". It should say "wood.bmp: PC bitmap, Windows 3.x format, 128 x 128 x 12" (or something similar).
Somehow this file has not been created quite correctly.
Someone wants me to make them a logo for their website, and they want a "Backspace" keyboard key underneath their text.
Is it possible to create one of these "Backspaces Keys" of my own, or is it only possible to copy one from Google somewhere and render the image in Gimp to make it look more like a logo? How do I go about doing this in the Gimp format if it is possible?
I have difficulties managing the following: I have a disk area (A minimap) and I want to add one (or two) small borders (that look bumpy) around the disk.
I basically want to achieve something like this: [URL]..... As you can see it has an outer border ring (with a very small line in the middle) and another inner ring. The outer ring drops a little shadow onto the inner ring.
I tried the following: Made a circle (with selection tool) -> Selection -> Shrink (3px) -> Filled with grayish color. Now I have a ring and I tried to apply various filters onto this ring to create a border (mainly decor -> border filter, but they all produced weird results).
I start with a background. Then I bring up a new image which sometimes has a picture of my background on it - it isn't a pic of the chosen image. And - I don't know when to create a new layer.I have the background as layer base, then I create a new layer, then I bring up an image to paste in the layer & on the background i.e. I copy, then paste on the background, but nothing happens, and the layer I created is empty.I'm all mixed up. What is the sequence for creating a new layer, then copying & pasting it to the background??

I've tried to create a rotating Planet for my program ( the rotation itself is fine... but it feels like the image is moving left inside a circle frame ) . I was told I need to add depth, bump so to say. I've tried to add a bit of bumpmap with gimp
Filter-> Map -> Bumpmap . Azimuth = 134, Elevation = 46, Depth = 15, Waterlevel = 87, Ambient = 57 .
But it does not feel round... I'm obviously no expert at Gimp. What should I do with the following image to make it feel more round, the center should feel like it's higher...and the corners should feel like they are going around to the back.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm sure 'variable transparency' is not the right way of putting this.
I have an image which has some text in white. However because of the aliasing the text is not 100% white against the background (black). Rather; the edges are shades of white.
I want to convert the image so that the text is transparent. If the text was 100% white it would be simple. Colors.. Colors To Alpha. However that doesn't work as it doesn't deal with the shades of white around the edges of the text.
I want the shades of white to be transparent with the same degree of opacity as they white. So the white in the image is 100% transparent and a pixel which is say light grey to be 90% transparent. (The end image is going to be used as a webkit mask; showing the background behind the masked element).
I don't know where to start with this. I know PNGs support 8 bit transparency so it should in theory be possible.
I have used gimp before with awesome results, but one thing I have not been able to find for Gimp is a tutorial on how to create an exploding effect. I am specifically looking to be able to have a picture of say a face, then being able to have the left half of the face look like it is exploding while keeping the right face fully intact. sort of like the image that I have linked.

How do I create a text layer?

I am attempting to create curved text in GIMP. Here are the steps which I complete:
1. Create a curved path
2. Type the text
3. Click text to path
This all works fine, except that it doesn't give me all of the text along the path. For example, if the text is supposed to read "Church-wide Picnic," it will only give me "Church-wide Pi."
I have created the path all the way across the screen and made the text as small as possible, and it still does this.
I have a jpg file from which I need to crop a 128x128 section and create a bmp file from it.
I've cropped the image and copied it into a new file. But when I go to save it (as .xcf), I see my smaller image but it is centered within a gray border that is the size of my original image. I want just the 128x128 part and nothing extra.
I've attached a screen shot to show what I am dealing with.

I am planning to create a blog post that discusses the mathematical characteristics of conic sections, and would like to include some images.
I have found images that are almost exactly what I would like, on the Mathworld and Wikipedia websites:
[URL]
I do not think I can just take an image from either of these sites, so I will probably have to make my own from scratch.
Is it possible to make these kinds of images in GIMP? (Will also need to be able to annotate the cutting angles of the planes, and include some Greek alphabet.)
Or do I need a commercial Mathematics software package to start the image, and then use GIMP to make relatively minor edits afterwards?
how can I create a icon easily for free version app base on original icon like in attachment ? Is it possible to create such icons by a script in GIMP?
