JHalton Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi, What is the best and quickest process for developing Site Plans using the Architect DXF files to an illustrated finish for presentation? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 we usually convert the DXF files into a readable photoshop format, either via Illustrator or AutoCAD, and paint them up in photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHalton Posted October 6, 2004 Author Share Posted October 6, 2004 I this a process of selection in PShop then? Using layers and stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STRAT Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 usually, yes. depends what the site plan looks like, whether or not you plan on future ammending/colour changing and how you generally work. but most of the 2d architects/technitians in our work now use photoshop on a daily bases to colour up site plans.

Bugga_Guy Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 In our office we usually do 1 of 2 ways. 1. In layers colour the plan up in photoshop. 2. Print out a large A0 size plan and then marker colour it then re-scan it and do small touch ups in photoshop. Eventhough photoshop is the faster, cheaper, and smarter way - I feel that it loses a certain quality - i myself like the handcolouring look.

scott12345 Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Combination of AutoCAD, Mcolor and Photoshop One sample: http://www.customcadsolutions.com/projects/04-025/pages/MasterPlan-04%20copy.htm Very large project, but you get the idea.
