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.
