Join Paul J. Smith in this course and learn how to link your SketchUp model to LayOut and generate professional looking plans, views, and elevations. This course, focusing on the advanced features in SketchUp Pro, starts with a complete SketchUp model and looks at how scenes, styles, and active section planes enable you to control your 3D model in LayOut. Paul will show how scenes, styles, and section cuts work together to generate the 3D and 2D information you need to produce a set of working drawings. Then learn to dimension and annotate with LayOut’s powerful yet simple tool and call on the power of the scrapbook to add entourage, images, and symbols in your drawings. Paul will also explain the way LayOut and SketchUp link together, where to store your templates and scrapbook elements, and how to avoid missing references. It’s a comprehensive course covering all the steps required to leverage the 2D from the 3D.

Instructor’s Welcome Note:
– Hello and welcome to the second installment of Sketchup for Architecture. In this series, we are gonna be primarily looking at layout, how the Sketchup model links with layout, but we’ll have a good look at the tools and the windows and how to add all sorts of different content. When in layout, linking a Sketchup file and also drawing directly into layout using some of the drawing tools we’ve got across here. So, there’s a limited palette of tools in layout. But, they are quite flexible and when you link it back to the Sketchup model and you create your scenes and you generate a series of styles that link with the scenes and they will control the section cuts.
We’ve done all of that. Then, you’ve got a very powerful way to represent 2D or 3D information to scale in layout. So, let’s just flick back over to layout. So, what we’re gonna do is generate some sort of cover views with 3D information and we’ve got a location plan, which is based on the previous site plan that we generated, the SketchUp for Architecture first series. Then, there’ll be a 2D sort of site plan, orthographically represented with some shadow settings on it and then, we’ll look at creating some floor plans.
So, we’ve got some, lots of different textures in here and this is a rasterized backdrop and overlayed across the top of that, there’s a vector line drawing with fill, which would be generated from the SketchUp model and we’ve got some elevations in there. We’ll be adding and creating some trees from various files that I’ve got. All of this will be available to the premium subscribers and we’ll then be looking at creating some coordinating plans, the sort of thing you could send off to your contractor.
So, we’ve got an awful lot to cover. We have to start with a SketchUp model. Now, I’ve updated the SketchUp model. I’ve added a load of scenes across the top. And I’ve added extra styles in the file as well. So, we’ve got things like cut, cut hidden, cut shaded, no cut, color by layer. So, all of these will be explained and how to generate these things and what, in fact, they are doing. We’ll just go to our section plains view. This shows everything that we’ve got in the model.
Now, I’ve got no active plains set at the moment, but I will be explaining how to do this. This is the trickiest aspect of this, coordinating your SketchUp model with the styles and the scenes and these active section plains. Okay, that’s the bit that confuses most of the students who I deal with. I mean, how to get that to stick when you send it over to layout ’cause lots of things can happen in between. So, it’s hopefully my plan by the end of this series that you’ll fully understand this process.
So, if things do go slightly awry in layout, then you can work your way back and pick what has gone wrong. Okay, so these views here are the slices that we’ve generated from our section plates. So, you can create a group from a slice and I’ll just move them to the side and worked on them a bit, so I’ve added fills and I’ve used these then to overlay the rasterized view in layout. So, we’ll cover an awful lot in this series and I say, it is my intention by the end of it, you will be much more familiar with the process of getting that drawing from SketchUp into layout and getting the best looking plans, sections, details, elevations that you can get from your model.
