Two Story Garage (24 x 20)

grabcad

A two-story garage/studio construction project is being undertaken by a local vocational school this summer for just $500, with materials covered by me. The design features detailed lumber specifications. Initially, the model was created from a single solid body that represented its overall size and shape. Each wall's sketch was then generated using the solid's faces as references. If adjustments to the design are required, alterations should be made to the main solid body first. The entire design is contained within a single part file. To enhance organization in drawing documentation, structural members were separated into sub-weldments and saved individually while remaining linked to the master model. This facilitated the creation of individual drawing sheets for each sub-weldment. For easy SolidWorks modeling with standard lumber sizes like 2x4's and 2x12's, check out my "Lumber Weldment Profile Library" on GrabCAD.
