From YouTube: Day 2 - Use Part Library or Design From Scratch?

Description

Design from scratch, use a part library, copy and modify similar files, or just verify files to commit them to a part library.

A

Okay, so actually let me uh just make one more comment here regarding since a lot of the designs are, you've got a lot in one file and then you just need to maybe either verify or modify right. Those are two structures. Either start from scratch, modify verify um those are in the order of complexity. If you start from scratch, you got the most work and in between somewhere there is well what if we have a part library of of standard parts like here's, the pre-cut stud, here's, the top plate and so forth.

A

That would help quite a bit now. Do we have that anywhere? uh There's a little place, I didn't mention called. I should mention it. It's called the architecture, part library. So if we go to.

A

I'm going to share my screen for other people who are looking at me as well. Let's see am I share.

A

Let me share my screen on it. There's another page: it's called architecture part. I just started this thing. I mean it's an obvious thing to do: architecture, part library and in it you'll see, there's a few pieces of materials. There is a two by six short top plate. There's a two by six top plate, so go and go to see. What's what exists there, like the two by four blocking with the the two by four split and a half?

A

There's eight foot lumber, eight foot.

A

Studs, nine foot, pre-cut stud, so there's a few parts and we should obviously generate keep generating this part. So we this part little part library. So we can pick okay, we know, we've got the top play, we've got a pre-cut, so you don't just don't have to draw them from scratch. That's that's obvious, um but then you'd have to put them together. So ideally you would use both the library and existing wall modules like if you know you've got something that looks right.

A

uh Ideally, you just verify it if it's another regular module, but you just want to look out that you're picking from the right file and the ultimate verification is yeah. If you understand it, okay, you know that's.

A

You can actually verify, because you, you remember some of the design principles and and therefore it would be very useful, probably to have a design checklist like if you're designing this kind of module um make sure you have this. Just a checklist almost sounds sounds like um that's too much like well, because you have the whole procedure. Here's how you design it. What does a checklist do?

A

Well, you just follow the things, but the checklist is basically like a summary of the more detailed procedure, so the the detailed procedure would be exhaustive and it could take a few pages. So yeah I mean sometimes you do get lost in it.

A

So it is very useful if you have just a checklist, maybe a small paragraph or of eight items that summarizes those five pages or so so that would be useful and probably as we go about teaching people uh or having like a basically the enterprise manual, I'm sure the enterprise manual should have that kind of material.

A

You don't want somebody to reinvent the wheel, all the time you have to consider that there's people entering at various different stages for the novice. That's coming and learning here's the checklist of design.

A

For me, I kind of forgot about that, because oh yeah we've got the design guide, but no obviously there's so many different different assets that we can generate and they should be, they should be generated if somebody wants to use them and organized well, such as a in an enterprise manual. So that's that's the summary of that. So start with existing modules to replicate, modify existing ones or.

B

And then just like download and then piece it together and then do the measurements right.

A

Yeah exactly exactly or you can go with the route. Here's the part, library we're actually downloading the individual parts or, as I mentioned yesterday, there's a freecad ose workbenches platform and I'm gonna point to that. What I'd like to see definitely happen is work workbench platform.

A

It's called the workbench osc work. It must be osc workbench platform.

A

It's called obviously pre-cut workbenches here's instructions for how within freecad you can actually program up a workbench, meaning that you click on a button and it appears as an object. The part appears in in your working window, so that's basically a de facto designer.

A

If you want to have a wall designer here's the you know, the house designer you just drag and drop parts. That would be the thing to do. It's written in python, so uh free cut is in python. So if you, you know python, you can follow the instructions on the osc, freecad workbenches page and actually help us do this. So we want to do this. This is like low hanging fruit. It's not too hard to do and it would get us right into freecad. We are we're. We have this. Is the osce house design workbench?

A

This? Is the wall module subsection, so what we're doing right now? Oh man, someone should be working on that right now to simplify it for the future generations, so yeah all these assets are pretty important. I think right now for ourselves. If we had that right now, we can definitely take advantage of it. You just drag and drop. You don't have to worry. If you drew the right part, you know it's. The official header yeah.

B

So then we can go say by names like.

A

Okay, header uh put in the header put in the put in the stud and so forth, so that would definitely make it easier. So definitely a.

B

A

For making that happen.

B

So so, when I'm done um doing the parts, I just upload right here right.

A

Yeah, like just upload.

B

A

The red link on the wiki, if it's.

C

Red on the wiki, that means there's nothing. There.

A

And if it's blue- and you want to make a change of course, then you click on that and then you'll ask you to upload the next version of the file. So that's how it works.

B

Okay, so each wall is unique right, like.

A

um Not exactly unique, I mean at the end of the day, once you add all the details like if you have a full house model like if you look at a house like you're, probably not gonna find a section of the house. That's super identical to the next, but at the level of just the framing, a lot of them will be identical, which means.

C

A

You've got like if you know that there's a same one somewhere else, the easiest thing is obviously to just take that and copy it as.

B

A

B

Make sure that.

A

You're copying the right like you should be able to verify that that point. Do the verification. If somebody else did it, then maybe verify and say: oh yeah. This is good and then upload it. So it depends where you're entering into a specific house design into the specific.

C

B

So it's so it's! It is not like everything is like unique, but.

C

B

We can literally but like a carbon pace, and that will be fine.

A

Right yeah, a lot of it will be that's correct.

A

B

uh Can I go off off topic.

C

B

For a moment, um your youtube channel right.

A

B

I would like to work on that, if that is possible.

A

Oh yeah, oh, what would you like to do to it.

B

I would like to uh d: do you know those time stamps you see in other youtube channels like you, would see a time stamp in the description box and you just click on it and it will transfer there like as and then and then you just play the uh video on that time stamp.

A

I haven't seen that what's that.

B

Oh, um what's to use, it's basically move moving through the video with just one click of a button. Okay,.

A

B

So let's say um you are explaining about wall modules right and then you have the minutes and the seconds where it is so just click on that and then it'll transfer.

A

Okay, you want me to set you up to the channel.

C

How do we do that? How do we do that? What would you like.

B

um I know how to do it. I can teach you actually or so cool.

C

Give me access.

B

And then I'll, you know I'll just do food, okay,.

C

If you want to teach us how to do it, then write write it down and do a little instructional.

B

I can show you a video. I can make a video for.

A

You for a few days, yeah it'll be cool and there's probably some other videos that you can work with, and is it pretty easy to do? Yeah.

B

Right, oh it is, it is.

A

Maybe like what you want, maybe you want to um upgrade the videos to that like. Maybe we could give you that task.

B

Yeah, because I was looking through your videos, you guys have like a lot, which is good.

A

Yes, 5 700 to be.

B

um So I have noticed the um feature generation will be those people who want or who want the videos to be quick and fast right. Yeah.

A

B

We need to summarize each and every video.

A

Yeah yep, so the only way you can do that I can set you up to do is like. Is there any way to share the my account or you basically have to give you the password.

B

Yes, there, no, no, you don't you don't need to give them password, because I have a youtube channel. um Actually so there's a option where you can put me as an editor okay, so I can only edit but not delete the videos. Basically, okay, yeah yeah.

A

Oh, that would be great.

B

I'll uh yeah I'll show you how to do everything that.

A

Would also definitely add value if you can index videos yeah, you can just process a huge amount of information. Much faster, definitely definitely useful.

C

A

Please set that up. Please show me how to do that and then we'll do it.

B

Okay, all right, that's it.

A

That's all the questions, yeah excellent excellent, so you see there's one more improvement to getting these videos for the 150 lessons up to higher quality thanks.

B

Yes, of course, no problem.

C

B

I've noticed that uh it's very how would you say it's very interesting to watch as a teenage man, because it's uh it's. This is all due to me, as you know. Well,.

A

That's great I mean that you can see that it's actually interesting. That's good yeah.

B

A

B

A

Might not get it.

B

um Yes, there are some because I because I just joined like right in the middle, you know.

C

B

I wasn't, I wasn't ready for this in the years like I would say.

B

Well, okay, then.

A

B

um That's about it. Thank you. Thank.

A

B

And then I'll work on your youtube.

A

Excellent excellent, so yeah. That would be great. That will be a good addition. That's.
