Those of us who work drawing in AutoCAD We are not here to waste time, and honestly, in front of the computer, it flies by! We have decided to collect the best portals, links and where to find free autocad blocks to download them in 2D and 3D, easily in DWG format.

They are free libraries that compose drawings and CAD blocks, both in two dimensions and in many cases in 3D. They will save us a lot of time without considering that some downloadable files have a precision of architectural detail that deserves applause, you are ready!

1.- Download Autocad blocks on Youtube

Youtube has everything; from CAD explanations and tricks, to huge 2D and 3D library download links.

You just have to put in the search engine «DOWNLOAD AUTOCAD BLOCKS» that you can see from HERE on Youtube and you will see that many results in the description of the video is the URL to download the drawings.

2.- Portals recommended by Autocad to download 2D or 3D blocks for free

The drawing software itself on its official page from HERE recommends five places to download 2D and 3D blocks for free. The block libraries are:

From the CADforum portal - A huge forum with sections specialized in CAD - BIM Blocks
From the CAD portal Blocks.Net - A great website without registration to download more than 5,000 files of CAD blocks - file extension dwg - for AutoCAD and other programs to use in projects or architectural plans.

From the Fastrack CAD portal - Gather drawings to download materials, objects and parts from leading manufacturers for construction and works.
From the CADdetails portal - Another website specializes in drawings, but of high quality.

They are websites in English, but you can find any DWG to download; homes, furniture, bathroom, electrical and plumbing symbols, trees, etc.

3.- Remember Autocad's own libraries

The Autocad software itself has libraries that you can use with 2D or 3D objects to insert them. We leave the following image so you can see how to find them:

It's a simple way to start inserting objects into our projects without wasting time.

4.- How to search for AutoCAD blocks in Google

Before starting to see the reference portals where we can download libraries of interest, first we would like to show you how to find practically any free AutoCAD library through advanced Google searches. (Recall that from the article how to find free architecture books we already entered advanced searches)

First of all we must go to this link and configure it as the following image (This would be the generic mode)

As you can see in the Google results, it gives us about 2,170 Drawings to download for free in DWG only with the related word "house", which will normally be house plans due to their relationship. Remember that:

Where it indicates "all these words": Normally we would have to put "autocad", but be careful, for example we could also use BIM.
Where it indicates "This exact word or phrase": We must always put the subject in quotation marks and remember that it varies depending on whether it is plural or singular. Topics like; House, dining room, bathrooms - bathroom, bedrooms - bedroom, trees, tables, furniture … etc. Or even "construction details"
Where it indicates "file type": Autodesk DWG (.dwf) must always be designated

5.- Construction companies give us drawings in Autocad

Another of the qualities that the Internet offers us today is that the majority of large companies and companies in the architecture sector that provide materials for facades, roofs, foundations, floors … etc. They have their own free autocad blocks so that technicians can use them in their projects.

If you have been in construction for a long time or you are a sure technician, you know the large material supplier companies, for example, if we enter the Placo website of the Saint Gobain Group. We don't even count the drawings that can be downloaded in DWG !!… With the following image, there are plenty of words.

As you can see, it has libraries of partitions, cladding, ceilings, floors, facades … etc. And we are only talking about one provider!

Another example is ISOVER manufacturer. When you enter the web, you have to go directly to "documentation" as shown in the following image. In practically all the sections we have illustrations. Mainly they are blocks for AutoCAD Dwg and some BIM. Very good quality in all planes!

6.- Download free BIM blocks

BIM technology is beginning to change the way we understand works and focus, in part, on a technical aspect before details of 3D drawings through various CAD programs how they can be Autodesk, SketchUp, Revit or the famous Archicad among other types of files.

So we just have to go to one of the best portals where they are dedicated to collecting the free BIM blocks to be able to download them from the most famous companies in the construction and construction sector. We are talking about Bimobject !!…

We suppose that you can see the image well, but to be clear, for example, files to download in ArchiCAD for free there are more than 17,000 and in Autocad more than 41,000. Sorry, but in this case you have to register to access the download! As an advantage, because we do not have advertising through touching the …

Another pleasant surprise is from the portal of the Institute of Construction Technology of Catalonia that we can see from ITEC in HERE where we have a fairly extensive classification of BIM drawings for download What:

7.- Free Autocad drawings urbanism, public spaces and streets

Actually, this is a bit more complicated, but normally the projects are very specific and the AutoCAD libraries on urban planning are rather scarce. Still, we will see a series of portals that can give us joy.

From one of the best known, the Bibliocad, which according to them «We are the download and exchange library of CAD and BIM resources for Architecture, Design, Engineering and Construction in the Spanish-speaking world. »

This is Free - Premium, but we are not going to take advantage of the free part since it leaves 20 DWG downloads per day. Once registered from HERE … We use the portal search engine as the following image:

We will get many DWG drawings to store on our computer. We remember that we saw this resource and the next one in an article of interest on how to improve the accessibility of buildings.

From the Housing and Urban Planning Service of SERVIU (Chile). Access HERE (At the moment the portal is closed) there is a lot of documentation and if we lower the cursor, we will see that downloadable Autocad detail plans are even provided for projects.

The UrbanPlay company specialized in the development of urban furniture, in collaboration with the platform Plataformaarquitectura.cl, consult it from HERE, they offer us to download some files in DWG format that frame the equipment for public space. Stunning details of AutoCAD blocks!

8.- Download free and whole Autocad blocks

A good drafting technician always has quality blocks where he has dedicated himself to compiling various architectural drawings that are a gem and that he will use constantly. It is a key to being able to work in CAD quickly with everyday objects of all kinds and well detailed without having to create them day in and day out as well.

Most platforms that offer to buy CAD objects at the same time, also have a wide variety of drawings that are free and with free download to see if one day we fall into the temptation. So let's take advantage of those free blocks!

We start with the boss888.net website from HERE we can enter some very interesting collections in the style of "Cad Block Download".

We continue with again that offers a series of free bookstores; plants, furniture, tables and chairs, kitchens, beds, all kinds of vehicles, roads, house and hotel plans, birds, people, trains or even airplanes. Come on, all kinds of files in DWG format for CAD. We are talking about the Archweb portal!

Another of the great platforms where we can even download complete houses with all the details and plans, is the inecad digital platform. A library of free blocks with drawings that are displayed and downloaded through categorized "articles". (We also remember the article on ecological house plans where we can see 28 projects by famous architects)

Where it not only focuses on the architecture sector, but here we also have industrial details, the emergency sector, health, urban planning … etc.

Online DWG viewer

When we work on CAD files, sometimes we need a free online dwg viewer because we are somewhere outside the office or in front of a computer that we cannot visualize the drawings.

There are many Internet tools and applications to view DWG files online, but the reality that few provide us with quality, speed and ease of use with the possibility of sharing work with colleagues and of course, without having 1000 advertising elements surrounding us.

Straightforward and no nonsense, the best online DWG viewer It is the Autodesk for all types of files and it is completely free (2D and 3D designs in more than 50 file formats, directly in the explorer). What do we want more! And remember that there is also an App…. The steps to view a file are very easy once we are registered in the portal:

We registered
We create a project
And we can already see it, handle it in 2D and visualize it in 3D, move, zoom in on the drawing and even record a video.

We know that there are many applications and many other portals that will also provide us with libraries and that they will surely be good tools, but in this article we have tried to provide the information that we believe provides better quality and usability.

How to create, export and insert blocks

As a complement, although the following video is already a few years old, its explanation is very simple and clear to handle the blocks, even the dynamic ones.
