CAD for drafting. Photoshop for textures. Illustrator or Canva for graphics. Another tool for presentations. In this video, I’ll show you how to create an entire architectural presentation section inside one workflow using Rayon. From clean CAD geometry through to textures, furniture, shadows, annotations, presentation graphics, and live sharing, everything stays inside a single platform. What’s covered in this tutorial - Building a section from simple geometry - Using walls, fills, and zones effectively - Creating depth with textures and shadows - Adding furniture, people, and storytelling elements - Organising layers without CAD chaos - Combining technical documentation with presentation graphics - Creating presentation-ready architectural sections - Exporting PDFs, DWGs, DXFs, and live presentations Why this matters Traditional CAD workflows are: - fragmented - slow - difficult to iterate The more software you add, the more friction you create. This workflow focuses on: → speed → clarity → presentation quality → live collaboration Key takeaway A good section doesn’t just explain construction. It explains: - atmosphere - scale - materiality - human experience That’s the difference between technical drafting and architectural storytelling. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Timestamps 00:00 – Why architects use too many programs 00:18 – Final section result overview 00:46 – Starting with simple geometry 01:31 – Walls, fills, and zones 02:19 – Adding technical floor and roof information 03:11 – Bringing sections to life with furniture 04:08 – Adding people and spatial storytelling 05:05 – Materiality, depth, and shadows 06:20 – Internal linework and detailing 07:09 – Annotations, dimensions, and tags 07:29 – Presentation graphics and overlays 08:10 – Exporting and live presentation links 08:16 – Additional workflow examples ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ 👉 Who is David Tomic?https://www.davidtomic.com.au/pages/about ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ 🔽 Don’t Miss Out!
