Complete SketchUp Guide To Layout Project Documentation

The Complete SketchUp Guide To Layout teaches you how to create organized drawing sets for your SketchUp projects directly from SketchUp with Layout.

Getting quality output from SketchUp often requires exporting lots of files back and forth from SketchUp and a third party program. However, SketchUp has created a robust document editor to manage drawing sets that integrates directly with SketchUp — SketchUp Layout.

This introductory course helps you understand what Layout is, and it gives you the workflows and techniques that can save you headaches and time documenting your project in neatly defined and accurate plans, sections, elevations, and perspectives of all sorts. Pretty much, any view you can make in SketchUp, can be setup in Layout and curated to the look you desire.

What you learn:

– How to setup title blocks and templates in Layout

– How to import and update your drawing set with SketchUp models

– How to develop annotated and dimensioned plans, sections and elevations

– How to develop building sections, wall sections and scaled details for your project

– How to export layout projects into PDF and CAD formats

– How to create your own scrapbook libraries of annotations and details

At the end of this course, you will be ready to document your SketchUp projects beyond concept models, to buildable schematics for any phase.
