  • @Amortox I've studied with someone who is great with AD markers, so I'll see if he'll be up for making a hand-rendering tutorial sometime soon. Keep an eye out for it)

  • @DigitalArchLand ow okay thx , well its because im studying landscape architecture and i want something to color my drawing with. And maybe its to much to ask but, can you make a tuturial how to color with AD markers for landscape drawings? Or do you know any good tuturials how to color with AD markers? i would appreciate it very much , thank you.

  • @Amortox this was done with chartpak AD markers

  • how do you color your drawings?

  • @017524062 In the Just the Basics playlist, I have "Just the Basics 1.5..." that explains how to do the method you described. This example is just an alternative method but also its on how to scale individual items or groups without rescaling the whole item. The tape measure tool rescales every single item or group within your whole item.

  • A better way to rescale your model: simply use your tapemeasure tool on your reference distance and then enter 70' into the length box at the bottom right of your screen . A dialog box pops up asking whether you want to rescale the model - click yes. Voila. Very quick - no calculations needed.
