7 Awesome Wallpaper Tips for your Dream Home

Autocad

<p>For all of us design techies, AutoCad is a working Bible. We live by it, we work by it and we swear by it. Sometimes it gives us a real pain and we wish we had certain tricks up our sleeves to magically make the problems disappear. If that’s the case then you are in the right spot, my friend! We have some ways that can turn your entire AutoCad experience around.</p>
<h2>Embrace the Mighty Align Tool</h2>
<p>This tool is a bomb dropped from the sky. It certainly is a hidden gem. Now, you do not need to move, scale and rotate your object natively. You can do it all in one go with the power of the Align tool.</p>
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.planndesign.com/article/31644371253_a70dced46d_z_d.jpg" alt="5 Tricks To Enhance Your AutoCad Experience" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
<h2>Do Away With Re-typing MText</h2>
<p>It is often annoying when you need to retype the entire text only because you forgot to hit the Caps Lock key on your keyboard. With this small adjustment, you can bid farewell to such instances. All you need to do is select the text and right like on the ‘Change Case’ option in the editor. Voila! You're done.</p>
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.planndesign.com/article/32456045645_e26753a504_z_d.jpg" alt="5 Tricks To Enhance Your AutoCad Experience" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
<h2>How About ‘Oops’</h2>
<p>This is, undoubtedly, one of the most fun commands. It can save the day and unnecessary hassles when you need to undo some erased bits. Go for this command when you want to bring back erased objects keeping the last few edits intact. Magical, isn't it?</p>
<img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.planndesign.com/article/31644369633_6017062214_z_d.jpg" alt="5 Tricks To Enhance Your AutoCad Experience" style="height: undefined;width: undefined"/>
<h2>It Is Time For Some ‘Overkill’</h2>
<p>Honestly, ever since I got my hands on this command, I have been in love! Handy and functional, this command is the game changer. Sometimes we’re just too lazy to notice the amount of duplicate objects we create or the times we over-write on certain parts in our drawings. Overkill enables us to get rid of all these discrepancies in a uniform fashion, making our work easier and our final output more desirable. Way to go, Overkill!</p>
<h2>Working With The Hatch Tool</h2>
<p>With heavy and complex files, working with the hatch tool can prove to be frustrating. Your boundaries are not in place, the cursor freezes, AutoCad stops responding- these are just some of the horror stories that make you lose the drawing file. One easy way to define closed boundaries is by using the Polyline tool and then deleted it once the hatch is complete. You may also want to break down larger hatch areas into smaller ones by dividing them to prevent your screen from freezing.</p>
<p>Now that you are aware of these little tricks, try them the next time you work on your beloved project. We assure you that your work experience is going to be easier and more comfortable using these hacks. Be prepared to produce impeccable drawings without the usual mood swings that AutoCad put you through. Good Luck, mates!</p>

Turn Your Office Space Into A Powerhouse Of Inspiration

<p>Architecture is a beautiful and gold career path to take. With many a challenges and hard work, you can really make it till the very end. There are 10 sure shot signs that point to you being a successful architect-</p>
<h2>You’re Fit in the Head</h2>
<p>You need to be the jack of all trades and their master too. Architects can juggle many genres of knowledge and execute that in their work. Therefore, you need to be smart and have a good presence of mind. If you’re mentally fit, there is nothing that can stop you.</p>
<h2>Have the Power to Observe</h2>
<p>Sense of sight and perceiving is one very important quality that goes a long way in making an architect. One must be able to look around and register things in short spans on time. Your eyes are your window and they must always be open.</p>
<h2>You Solve Problems in a Jiffy</h2>
<p>As Architects, you would be required to take down any problem thrown at you. You must have the ability to be a conquerer and tackle any given situation.</p>
<h2>You have the ability to Think With Your Hands</h2>
<p>Most architects have the innate tendency to sketch or pen down their thoughts. The carry with them the ability to think on paper rather than just creating doodles in their head.</p>
<h2>Lego is Your Thing</h2>
<p>As a child, you loved to play with lego and now that you're all grown up, you want to go down that lane again. As architects, we conceptualise in real time. Working with models makes us understand better. If you're capable of doing so, congratulations my friend because you are halfway there.</p>
<h2>Management Skills Are On Point</h2>
<p>You’ll need to adjust a lot. Time may be your biggest enemy or you best friend, the choice is your to make. You must be well equipped to deal with everything that comes your way. You never know what crops up when, so you must always make room for new things without compromising on the older ones.</p>
<h2>You Love The Natural Beauty.</h2>
<p>Nature is the most exquisite form of architecture to have ever been created. You must be sensible  towards it and use it to your advantage. Nature when teamed up with the built environment creates a splendid outcome, one that is unmatched in terms of aesthetics. We must posses the skill to exploit this side and make good use of it.</p>
<h2>You’re Patient</h2>
<p>Patience is the key to achieving anything worthy in architecture. You must be willing to work and rework on a single project multiple times. This, in turn, will bring out a more refined and workable project from you.</p>
<h2>You’re Tech Savvy</h2>
<p>This isn't one concrete sign because there is always scope of learning and discovering but if you’ve got a hang of many softwares, you can easily nail architecture!</p>
<h2>You’re a Learner and a Dreamer</h2>
<p>You’re not afraid to think out of the box and go wild with your imagination. You’re also not scared to experiment, fall and then learn from the whole experience. These are two very important qualities that give you the edge over others.</p>
<p>Be your own hero, be and Architect and put dreams to reality!</p>

10 Signs From The Heaven That Say You Need To Be An Architect

<p>We’re in a whole new league all together and you probably hate us because you ain’t us but thats going to change.</p>
<h2>We’re Classy</h2>
<p>We might not always posses the kind of cash you think we do but as architects, we have great taste. Be it our clothes or our work, we are always slaying it.</p>
<h2>Our Arguing Skills Are Unmatched</h2>
<p>We’ve been doing this since college. It runs in our veins! Convincing clients, convincing the jury and convincing the faculty, that is our thing and we are pretty darn good at it.</p>
<h2>We Have Fun</h2>
<p>Who says that Architects do not have fun? We have as much fun as anyone else does. Haven't you heard of the saying ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’?</p>
<h2>Nothing Misses Our Eyes</h2>
<p>We architects are constantly on the lookout for new things to see and articles to observe. We look for inspiration everywhere and in all forms. That is one reason that we have such a sharp eye and taste for everything.</p>
<h2>Finicky Little Creatures</h2>
<p>We can look at a line from a mile and tell you that it isn't a perfectly straight one. And trust us, we don't do this purposely. It is naturally embedded in us to pick on anything and everything that is not ‘perfect’</p>
<h2>Our Houses Are Worth Seeing</h2>
<p>This is one thumb rule that comes with our profession. If we can’t make our own homes how would others trust us with theirs? Therefore, we preach what we practice. Our homes are one of the finest  showcases of our work.</p>
<h2>We Dote On Coffee</h2>
<p>Just like any other sleep deprived human, we live on coffee. Our work ethics keep us up for long hours and some caffeine comes to our rescue. Our knight is shining armour, our loveable cup of aromatic coffee!</p>
<h2>Our Circles are Small</h2>
<p>No, I’m not referring to geometric forms here. I’m pointing out to how our group of friends stays the same. The same bunch of people who’ve stuck together since college-we work together, chill together and create memories together. We might also have our own lingo that’ll do the rounds frequently.</p>
<h2>We Are Overachievers</h2>
<p>We are so used to the grilling that we keep pushing ourselves for more and more. This polishes our design and in a way polishes our personalities too. Being in the same routine for years, it forms a very good habit to keep aiming for more.</p>
<h2>We Are The Boss</h2>
<p>With the civil works under us, the labour under us, the structural engineers under us, we have the edge. We delicate work, we know it all and we are certainly the boss in the field. We are not a force to be reckoned with!</p>

10 Things You Didn't Know About An Architect

<p>For those that enjoy parties but prefer having them custom to their liking, an in-house bar is a must. Especially when you prefer being the host, yourself. A stocked up stash of beverages to offer will make your party popular amongst your guests. Even if you don’t drink, it’s always good to have something on hand to offer your guests and keep them entertained. <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/collection/1854-bar-counter-detail" target="_self">Setting up a bar counter</a> can be a tedious task initially, but with the right décor, <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/3400-stunning-ways-use-different-types-indirect-lighting-techniques-interiors" target="_self">interior lighting techniques</a>, and furniture, it’ll be seeing a lot of hosting, in no time.</p>
<h2><strong>Corner Bar</strong></h2>
<p>To start off, it can occupy one of the corners of your house. As seen in the picture below, an otherwise dead space has been converted into an <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/collection/1851-home-bar-counter-and-bottle-display-unit" target="_self">extravagant mini bar</a>. An open rack displays the drinks making it easier to make a choice. The subtle lighting sets a perfect ambiance to enjoy the beverage, once the drinks are made and the lights are off. A wooden finish with a stone counter gives it a classy appearance. And the stone allows for easy maintenance. Include this along with an open kitchen plan, this will surely enhance the<a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/3083-small-yet-well-decorated-living-cum-dining-room-decor-tips" target="_self"> living cum dining design</a>.</p>

<h2><strong>Parallel Bar</strong></h2>
<p>When space is not a constraint you can spread across a similar decor. This design has two counters parallel to each other, with circulation space enough for 2 people to comfortably help themselves. While one counter can be used to mix the drink, the other can be used as a bar table to enjoy the drink. To go with the rich wooden finish, bar stools have been avoided, instead, tall ottomans can be used. Highlight the area with an <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/articles/2809-beautiful-examples-bedroom-accent-walls-look-awesome" target="_self">accent wall</a>.</p>

<h2><strong>Kitchen Bar</strong></h2>
<p>If your <a href="https://www.planndesign.com/blogs/kitchen" target="_self">beautiful kitchens</a> are large enough to house an island counter, the island can double as a bar counter in the night, as well as a breakfast counter in the morning hours. A part of the kitchen counter can be utilized to display the drinks and mix. And the island can be used to serve it.</p>

<h2><strong>Pull-down Bar</strong></h2>
<p>This design cleverly utilizes a TV cabinet as a bar counter. It works best when there’s a space crunch and there’s not enough space to spare entirely for a bar. Tucked away in the cabinet, it also provides privacy not flashing your drinks to everyone who visits. The door that pulls down acts as the mixing and serving table. The rear-end stores the beverages. The living room furniture can be utilized as the seating.</p>

<h2><strong>Pool House Bar</strong></h2>
<p>If your house hosts a pool, what better place to set up the bar counter? A little room beside the change room can be dedicated. With a well set up bar, some brilliant pool parties can be hosted. The flooring will have to be skid-proof, especially in a poolside bar to avoid mishaps. A wall can display the accessories with a typical counter in front, followed by a couple of bar stools.</p>

<h2><strong>Partitioned Bar</strong></h2>
<p>When there’s a large space available, the living room can be partitioned into a bar counter. A 3 walled space, each wall can be used to display a certain accessory, creatively. With one wall giving rise to a counter for mixing and serving. Since it’s partitioned, this can be opened up during parties to appear as one space with the living room. This way, the room appears spacious and convenient.</p>
