HOW TO: Exploded Axonometric Diagram with SketchUp & Illustrator

[@nisargbhavsar7028]

Extremely organized work. This is one of the best workflows for creating illustrative diagrams that I have ever seen on KZbin

Thanks Benjamin for the excellent tutorials. I’m so happy to have found your channel.

This what architects need the most. To organize and harness time and effort. Loved it very efficient 👍🏻

Amazing visuals as always, thank you so much for sharing your workflow. Sometimes it's a long process to develop one and it is appreciated that you stop explaining each step.

Hello, this is a great tutorial. I wanted to try this style of render for some time and this made it really comprehensive. It took me a while to understand how the scenes and different styles in sketchup work so that I can transfer it to layout and get the results I needed, but I think I got there.

[@jamieclarke321]

Thank you I found this very useful and I haven’t heard of axonometric diagrams before

Really like your Illustrative concept. Have just started to learn SketchUp and trying to complete my first set of drawings in layout but realize my laptop does not like it. Think I have modeled to much detail and imported models from warehouse may have something to do with the performance issues in Layout. I like your minimal approach to keep everything simple and just make use of Line.

Amazing. My fear of illustrator decreased alot. The shaded vector is a game changer. I dont have it on rhino. 1.Do you think if i imported my model to sketchup i would get same shaded vectors? 2. Are the shaded vectors clean and sharp? 3. Where do i get these flat surface models and face rotating models i love them. Hope they're not SketchUp specific. Thanks 👍 👍

You are just incredible

Hi , I want to know from where we can find the 2D objects ? Thanks

[@BenjaminNaudet]

I made these 2D objects in Illustrator and imported them into SketchUp. Go to the link in the description if you want to download the model file.

[@sashan1281]

For the simplified 2D people & trees, where do you source them from? I think this is a great tip to ease the heaviness of the file.

[@BenjaminNaudet]

I typically find low res PNGs on google and image trace them in Illustrator which creates the simplified effect. Then you can export from Illustrator as a DWG and Import into SketchUp. Or I will manually trace a silhouette person - simplifying them as I trace.

@@BenjaminNaudet Ah okay, great thanks for explaning and great video. ☺

Hi, does anyone know if layout 2023 has the vector feature? I can't find it anywhere.Thanks

[@thetechnician832]

Yes, It does. Sketch up model panel in your default tray to the right. You have a choice of vector, raster or Hybrid which is a combination of Raster and Vector

Hey Banjamin. Thanks for the great video! It really helped alot. I have a question I hope someone can answer. When I export my color by layer scene in a vector or hybrid format from Layout (2024). The final result is a black wireframe instead of the hidden line style that was selected in sketchup. What could be the reason for this? I tried to look it up on the forums, but their solutions have not worked for me.

[@BenjaminNaudet]

Does your drawing in Layout look correct before you export it? I have had similar issues when exporting as hybrid - I typically try to export as vector for linework.

[@GlobalWarming_x]

@@BenjaminNaudet Yes. In Layout, it has the colors and hidden lines as they are in SketchUp. I start the export process as vector and once it is done, the drawing shifts to the black wireframe and the pdf is generated like that too.

[@BenjaminNaudet]

@@GlobalWarming_x Interesting - I would try starting a fresh layout document and see if the problem still exists.

[@GlobalWarming_x]

I have made multiple fresh layout documents at this point. No luck unfortunately. Will update here if I figure it out

[@luizramos1303]

im having the same problem, no matter how many times i set it up, the final pdf always comes out as black and white lines only, even if i followed all the steps on the tutorial and it looks correct on layout or even sketchup

[@franciscobracho423]

What an excellent job, you have a very organised way of making illustrations. You helped me to find new ways to organize my work table as well as new tools in illustrator. HOW GREAT YOU ARE

Glad you thought it was helpful!
