Great video. Have not used layout yet, but the one thing i was looking for and you probably skipped over, is how to set your viewport to a scale. Im sure that has to be and option, so ill continue to look for it. Otherwise, very informative.

@SketchUpSchool Жыл бұрын

In LayOut, right-click on a Viewport and select Scale, and then select the scale you are looking for.

First of all, I love the tips. I just finished watching this the tips are very helpful, but what if all your 2-dimensional drawings such as floor plans and site plans and elevations, and sections were done outside of SketchUp such as AutoCAD, and then rendered in adobe illustrator but I want to take that into Sketchup layout, how would I go about to do this?

@SketchUpSchool 2 жыл бұрын

If you need to show the length of the curve, you can right-click on the curve in SketchUp and pick the option for Entity Info. There you will be able to see the length of the curve. In LayOut, you would then use the Label or Text tool to add a callout for that dimension.

when i hit "send to layout" all it does is take a random screenshot of the model and posts it on a separate document.

@SketchUpSchool 22 күн бұрын

That is the process of creating a "Viewport" of the SketchUp model on a page in a LayOut document. If you need more help figuring out how this process all works, please send any follow-up questions to team@sketchupschool.com.

@SketchUpSchool 4 ай бұрын

Yes - if you try to add text in SketchUp it will move around. But if you add it in LayOut it will stay put. If you continue to have an issue, please send a message to team@sketchupschool.com and an instructor will try to help.

There is an auto-save feature. It's usually turned on by default. Glad you liked the tip about Tags!

Hi. Can SketchUp quickly and easily calculate the square footage of different 2D floor plan layouts? Specifically, can it calculate per the ANSI single family requirement of measuring from the outside walls of the heated living spaces to get a GLA (gross living area) used by FNMA for mortgage purposes? This is the way the real estate appraisers are supposed to measure. This has been a requirement for FNMA for over a year now and there is a huge demand to have houses measured this way. It would be great if SketchUp has taken a look at ANSI for single family houses and has the functionality to make it relatively easy to have the GLA and other separate 2D areas calculated. If it can, and there is a video on that, I'd like to take a look. Thanks for the feedback!

@SketchUpSchool Жыл бұрын

While we don't have a video specifically covering this type of square footage measurement, SketchUp can measure whatever square footage you need - it's up to the user to take the measurements from the proper points (SketchUp as a software won't know ANSI or FNMA... but you as the user can follow the guidelines and use SketchUp to help). If you need more help figuring out how you might use SketchUp in the way you discussed, send us a message at team@sketchupschool.com and one of our instructors will be happy to give you some advice.

LayOut allows you to adjust settings so that the linework is crisp and the image quality is as nice as you need it to look.

This video is good at showing how to avoid issues between sketchup and Layout, however it doesn't actually show "how to use Layout" as the title would suggest. I've never used Layout and still have no idea how to use it.

@SketchUpSchool Жыл бұрын

Sorry if this video didn't deliver what you were hoping for. Our intention was to show the higher level "How To" so that folks would understand the overarching idea of how the two applications work together. We often find that students that dive into learning the specifics of LayOut start with a misunderstanding that makes learning it more difficult. So this video is trying to help orient you heading into learning LayOut. Of course, learning all the details of learning LayOut is something that can't be covered in a single video, but we do have LayOut courses in our Video Course Library if you are interested: www.sketchupschool.com/video-course-library
