omg!!!! position camera! Where have you been all my life?!!!! Thank you for showing me this! I've been using the annoying sections cuts and it always takes forever to clear them when you make a new scene/elevation! this is awesome!

It’s great that you are creating content that makes is possible for sketchup fans to perform and execute their work flow from start (design generation) to finish (drawing documents) in just sketchup. 😊thanks❤

Thank you for the great tutorial, as always, but I want to ask what is the advantage of using the position camera tool to section tool on making sections drawings on the model. Does it make the file size smaller and more manageable?

Great video, great tips ! thx ! Is auto text fot scale possible ? I mean if i change the "Sketchup Model" scale, is the auto text change the value ?

Hi Justin, in Layout - is it possible to customize the toolbar along the top of the page - the default is very basic. I'd like to add icons for Undo/Redo, Pan, Copy, Paste, Bring Forward, Send Back, Area, Volume etc etc

Hi. If I scale or just move (not accidently) the model after adding some text, lines to the drawing the text or lines doesn,t move at all. There is no problem with labels and dimensions. They stick to the elements of the model. The problem is only with lines and text .Do you know any solution for that?

@Datwyne Жыл бұрын

Please I need more showing how to include grid lines especially for full dimensionig since it's working drawing.

@susel_vazquez_acuna 6 ай бұрын

Question, is it better to put the dimension lines in Layout or in SketchUp and then modify them with the style? Thanks 🙏🏼

What about I'm creating section instead of elevation? I would need those section planes showing in my floor plan. Great video btw. I imagine this could speed up my productivity by skipping layouting in corel draw

@Thesketchupessentials Жыл бұрын

What do you mean? In those situations it would still clip out the walls, so you shouldn't need them. That said, there's nothing wrong with adding section planes if you need them

@tranquilohomie2248 Жыл бұрын

What about the lineweights on the floor plan? this is the essential part for working drawings

@DaraHijazi Жыл бұрын

Yes, sometimes I cannot deal with the line weight in layout, and the dimensions tool confused if the line weight is big

@TroyCurry Жыл бұрын

One way of working with this is to setup views in sketchup that only show specific elements that would share the same line weights. You create a style for each line weight you want to show and assign it to the relevant scene. Then in Layout, you can stack the viewports. It’s a cumbersome workaround, but it does work.

how come changing scenes in layout is so fast for you, it takes a couple of minutes for me and trust me my PC is solid I run Lumion on it without an issue as well as Sketchup but Layout doesn’t seem to cooperate

The hardest thing in layout is organizing your model ,synch it with sketchup model took too much time when working in real life where you work on large scene, since sketchup don't work using reference...layout layer manager is not getting any new feature either like search layer,...layout need to be restructured to work more efficient

@Thesketchupessentials 2 ай бұрын

How many layers do you have to need a search function?

@fadilvi 2 ай бұрын

@@Thesketchupessentials many layers...in my recent 20+ ,... sometimes when i got the time i handle layer management but usually not..because deadline . And in layout there's no layer folder too such as in SketchUp. Its usually increased by itself when i use extension such as curic section or fredo..also when working i use as lower resolution as possible to make switching between viewport more light, the drawback is when i export them into pdf , hybrid ( v 2023 had export as hybrid function) it takes very long time to produce 25 pages of pdf (30 min ++) . My drawing usually take 50+pages in final version,.. it take 1h +....using hashwell ,16gb ram, and ssd.. i know that you can cut down export time by using hybrid all the time , but it sacrifice the time when you need to update your skp file or switching between pages.
