Good but I honestly still don't understand what we mean by this. Draw EVERYTHING on layer zero then move it to new layer? What?

@McGiggley

Жыл бұрын

@@RhondaRants I think that's what it means, yes. So you should draw everything on Layer 0/Untagged. And when you've drawn something and made it a group, you can move it to another layer/tag it to a specific tag. Then you need to make sure that when you start making changes/adding things in your model, you are working again in Layer 0/Untagged. But maybe @SketchUpSchool could confirm this!

@@SketchUpSchool I have designed a house for my family, which I am now building. I'm using SIPS (Structural insulated panels) for both the walls and roof. The SIPS for the walls contain highly compressed strawbales. So have had to do most of the drafting myself. SketchUp has been incredibly useful. As I'm not an architect or draftsman, producing drawings in a format that trades are used to has been challenging.

The way the video was written and produced in a smart and easy to understand manner, and order (the thought flow really worked and built a flow in my mind), I learnt so much in such a short time. I confess I have made some of the same errors, but I am definitely an amateur SU user who has played with SU for years, but as I have other drawing skills I expected to pick it up easily. I was wrong. My fav tips here were the comments on "scenes before viewports" and your use of layers more than I had already. "Kudos for your teaching style" just DOESN'T do this video justice.

I find your videos to be quite interesting. I'm an AutoCAD user. I can see how Sketchup and Layout are working to do most of the things in AutoCAD. However, I must say that it looks and feel simpler especially it's a lighter weight on my PC resources. I like that tip about making 2D objects a component on its layer; then with the associated 3D component also on its own layer, you can then group these together and placed on yet another layer thereby controlling the dimensions of the 2D objects while its grouped 3D element is changed and as well as their visibility. That's awesome! I think I got lost with the views, scenes section

Really useful. Thanks very much. I wasn't using Layout at all as I already do my 2D stuff in AutoCAD. So I haven't wasted any time on layout..yet. I really liked tip 7, I think I laughed out load - add your 2D symbols to your 3D objects ! I liked it on two levels: 1. It's like the modelling workflow where you have a raster image on the horizontal plane and then you draw on top of it...but time reversed. Plus if you spend enough time doing CAD of any sort you can end up "seeing" symbols and drawings that correspond to everyday objects ( maybe it's just me...) 2. Planning! Why am I making this model? ...one of the reasons could be because I NEED a floor plan. I could see tip 7 being really good for plans other than construction use. e.g table layouts in restaurants.

LayOut is incredibly powerful but also very different from SketchUp. To me SketchUp and LayOut are friends, not relatives. A key point you mentioned is something I realized years ago: SketchUp skills don't translate into LayOut. Be prepared to learn a new application. Once you do that everything works much better. And like you said, preparation in SketchUp makes working in LayOut a much easier task. I like your idea of adding 2D symbols to SketchUp components. Fellow SketchUp modelers giggled when I stopped to name all my components and laughed out loud when I named my groups. Time saved in the long run.

Thank. This video is filled with practicality. I always used different layers to work on to avoid having all the basic geometry linked to Layer 0. It did worked well for me so far, but of course never used LAYOUT before, so I am not sure what trouble would it cause in there. In my models each layer is separated from Layer 0 and I am very organised - by NOW - and I change the layer according to what I am working on, but I learnt it the hard way as it can really mess up your model if you forget to change and also....I could have save a lot of time by not having to change the active layer....... One thing is unclear to me about the last advice. You group the 3D first and save to a layer (for example 3D openings). then make the 2D element , group it then save another group (for example "2D SYMBOLS). But do you leave the parent group (created with the 2 previous group) on LAYER 0 or would you have a 3rd LAYER and place them there???? I would think so... I use and used many other architectural softwares, but I enjoy visualise in SketchUp most, but never tried drafting in LAYOUT before as I use a separate software to produce plans and elevations. It makes the workflow much slower.....I have to say, I miss the lign types and line weights from LAYOUT, but maybe it is just a question of working out another way to to communicate the technical details.....Maybe it can be sophisticated and pleasant to look at, using different tools. Thanks for the heads up! Cheers

After that I may have added more scenes in SU, and added another page in LO with another scene. When in LO i right click on the frame, and go to 'scenes' the right scene is still clicked...

I really prefer to floorplan first... and then go 3d. In fact, it's usually a rough floorplan which gets iterated on. But I need to end up with both a floorplan (which I can turn over to the arch) *and* a 3d model. So what's the prescribed method for working through this progression?

We have another video on our channel that shows you an overview of how to create a 2D floor plan in SketchUp first. You can watch it here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oX5st9ajesrWgdo.html
