Components

Design workbench in FreeCAD that allows for ready creation of modified versions of the Seed Eco-Home. Intended for builders, contractors, architects, and other critters. The simple breakdown is as follows:

  1. Foundation: - foundation form plan and staking, footer, rebar pattern, etc for any specific footprint of the Seed Eco-Home. Includes rough plumbing design. Outputs a set of technical drawings with annotations regarding sequence for stringing, squaring, and other important notes.
  2. Sill Plate: - generates technical drawings for the sill plate including anchor spacing and specification.
  3. 1st Floor Framing: - generates the framing, sheathing, and apertures for the first floor wall modules and garage modules. Generates one technical drawing for each module. Considers the 1300 sf version symmetry 2' filler modules)
  4. Top Plate
  5. First Floor Ceiling Platform + subfloor
  6. 2nd Story Framing - including exterior penetrations
  7. 2nd floor top plate
  8. 2nd Floor Ceiling platform
  9. Roof assembly -tapers, insulation box, sheathing, EPDM
  10. PV - pv runners, gravel, gravel lock, PV mounts, PV panels
  11. Electrical - adds all electrical boxes based on wall location and code compliance, allowing for the side-to-side shifting of boxes as needed.
  12. Wiring - adds all wires based on design rules, optimizing routing
  13. Canopy, Deck, Landing designer
  14. Vinyl siding Designer
  15. Window Designer
  16. Trim Designer - exterior
  17. Door Designer
  18. Beadboard designer
  19. Beadboard ceiling designer - garage and 2nd floor
  20. Interior trim designer
  21. Gutter Designer
  22. Garage door Designer - physical door, door opener system, and wiring.
