In this series of videos, I'm going to be going over the process to do a rendered floor plan using Adobe Photoshop CS6.
Learn how to create a rendered floor plan using Adobe Photoshop CS6 with step-by-step layer techniques from AutoCAD imports.
Key Takeaways
- Rendered floor plans can be created effectively using Photoshop CS6 with layered workflows.
- Importing clean floor plans from AutoCAD or similar software simplifies the process.
- Layer management is crucial, treating each element like a coloring book for easy editing.
- Adding shadows and highlights enhances the three-dimensional appearance of the floor plan.
- The level of detail can be customized to suit different project needs.
What the video covers
- The video series teaches the process of creating rendered floor plans using Adobe Photoshop CS6.
- The procedure involves working with multiple layers, treating the file like a coloring book.
- The base layer is a white background, followed by layers for walls, floors, shadows, highlights, counters, and furniture.
- The floor plan is imported directly from AutoCAD but can also be from hand drawings or other software like SketchUp or Revit.
- Each layer is essentially a fill layer used to add color and depth to different elements of the floor plan.
- Shadows and highlights are added to create a three-dimensional effect.
- The process allows for varying levels of detail depending on the user's preference.
- By the end of the video series, viewers will be able to produce a polished rendered floor plan similar to the example shown.
- The tutorial emphasizes neat, clean, and easy-to-work-with files imported from CAD software.
- The video breaks down the workflow clearly, making a complex process manageable.

So, this is a relatively complicated procedure, but once you get the steps down, it's really not that difficult.
Speaker A
What we're looking at here is the finished product. And then over on the right in the layers menu, we'll see how a file like this is set up. So, you can see here that there's actually a fair amount of layers.
Speaker A
And really what we're going to be doing is treating it a bit like a coloring book. So, at the very bottom, we see that there's a white background.
Speaker A
And then as we move through the file, we see that it's divided up into layers for walls, floors, shadows, and highlights, then things like counters, individual pieces of furniture, and things of that nature.
Speaker A
So, just so you can see this a little better, I'm going to turn off all of these layers.
Speaker A
So, you can see here is the blank document with nothing. A white background acting a bit like a piece of paper.
Speaker A
Here would be our actual floor plan here. And this is coming directly out of AutoCAD. So, this would work just as well with a hand-done drawing, something done in SketchUp, Revit, uh you know, any piece of software like that. This was brought in
Speaker A
directly from AutoCAD, so it's very neat and clean and easy to work with. Then each layer that's set up is basically a fill layer.
Speaker A
So we do things like fill in the walls individually. The floors. Adding shadows and highlights to make it a bit more three-dimensional.
Speaker A
And then get into things like countertops. Fixtures. And so on. And with this type of process, you can get as detailed or keep it as simple as you would like it. So by the time we get through the series of
Speaker A
videos, you'll have something that's looking similar to what we have on the screen right now.
