[@Thesketchupessentials]

Hi everyone! Let me know if you have questions about anything I talked about in the comments below! :)

[@salimsawandi9829]

Hi i have a problem with the dimensions dont update even doing right click and refresh the connection with the model, what happened tto me?

[@AKE-CAD]

[@fahamvshafal7002]

hi sir. i learned a lot from your videos. i started learning sketch up by watching learn sketch up in 30days. i have a question. may i know what is the function of "save as template"? what is the different with normal file saving? i sketched a furniture and normal saved it. then i sketched another model of building. then i imported those furniture into building drawing. A friend of mine said to save as template. but i dont know what is the use of template files. can you clarify or suggest a video for me to refer to

[@elisabethpusta4368]

omg!!!! position camera! Where have you been all my life?!!!! Thank you for showing me this! I've been using the annoying sections cuts and it always takes forever to clear them when you make a new scene/elevation! this is awesome!

[@rennychristophertumwesigye8030]

It’s great that you are creating content that makes is possible for sketchup fans to perform and execute their work flow from start (design generation) to finish (drawing documents) in just sketchup. 😊thanks❤

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Glad I could help!

[@leandrotandoc2535]

thanks, learn a lot from your videos.

[@susel_vazquez_acuna]

Question, is it better to put the dimension lines in Layout or in SketchUp and then modify them with the style? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@joshuahart3488]

God Bless this Man

[@tranquilohomie2248]

What about the lineweights on the floor plan? this is the essential part for working drawings

[@DaraHijazi]

Yes, sometimes I cannot deal with the line weight in layout, and the dimensions tool confused if the line weight is big

[@TroyCurry]

One way of working with this is to setup views in sketchup that only show specific elements that would share the same line weights. You create a style for each line weight you want to show and assign it to the relevant scene. Then in Layout, you can stack the viewports. It’s a cumbersome workaround, but it does work.

[@DaraHijazi]

I will try it

[@DaraHijazi]

Thanks 👍🏻

[@hilaireoloughlin]

Just brilliant.

[@sarahsulai2822]

love your channel! got one question. What font are u using for your title block? like it a lot

[@Thesketchupessentials]

I THINK it's just Arial - nothing fancy :)

[@LadybugLew]

Nice demo.

[@aguslatif575]

Thank you for the great tutorial, as always, but I want to ask what is the advantage of using the position camera tool to section tool on making sections drawings on the model. Does it make the file size smaller and more manageable?

[@robertbankhead8661]

Amazing!

[@jorgeazuz4558]

Do you have tutorials on creating high detailed sketchup layouts for cabinets?

[@sketchupapp]

Nice man，I love the way you generate elevations😍

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Thanks!

[@thomlipiczky9021]

is there an extension that converts skp. directly to svg.?

[@pierg1145]

Great video, great tips ! thx ! Is auto text fot scale possible ? I mean if i change the "Sketchup Model" scale, is the auto text change the value ?

[@tuktuk66]

Do you have any full tutorial on creating a 2D floor plan in Sketchup first?

[@Datwyne]

Please I need more showing how to include grid lines especially for full dimensionig since it's working drawing.

[@Lordaniel11569]

Hi Justin, in Layout - is it possible to customize the toolbar along the top of the page - the default is very basic. I'd like to add icons for Undo/Redo, Pan, Copy, Paste, Bring Forward, Send Back, Area, Volume etc etc

[@cosahthabang9959]

When I print out sketchup plans on A2 they pixel, can u please assist

[@jesus-n5c1l]

hi, I started with SketchUp and I like it, but when I draw something there, then I export it to 3ds max, it's crazy big... please tell me how to balance it so that I have the same SketchUp/3ds max dimensions.. thank you, hello

[@dayagjanekimberlyl.6593]

how about if its hard to move the lines, measures etc?

[@jeremiegascon7166]

i have a question about layout how do you get your layout to be so snappy every time i go into layout it is quite laggy and i have a fast computer is there an option i am missing

[@renderwitch]

I have problem with changing from RASTER to VECTOR in layout. Do you know why? My view is disturbing when switching this option....

[@leverett7069]

What about I'm creating section instead of elevation? I would need those section planes showing in my floor plan. Great video btw. I imagine this could speed up my productivity by skipping layouting in corel draw

[@Thesketchupessentials]

What do you mean? In those situations it would still clip out the walls, so you shouldn't need them. That said, there's nothing wrong with adding section planes if you need them

[@Coffeafdoom]

I cant find in my scrapbook those TB templates, is that something you have to download?

[@cristhiandiaz3683]

how come changing scenes in layout is so fast for you, it takes a couple of minutes for me and trust me my PC is solid I run Lumion on it without an issue as well as Sketchup but Layout doesn’t seem to cooperate

[@Ar.Inamurrahman]

Good 👍

[@Thesketchupessentials]

😀

[@muhammadsafwan6998]

hai @thesketchupessentials my layout . Let say layout A and B .. i copy from layout B into layout A but the picture came out is layout A not layout B. how to settle this problem . please help me

[@krzysztof9264]

Hi. If I scale or just move (not accidently) the model after adding some text, lines to the drawing the text or lines doesn,t move at all. There is no problem with labels and dimensions. They stick to the elements of the model. The problem is only with lines and text .Do you know any solution for that?

[@Rockett16]

I was wondering how come when I make a section cut it's soiled black wall?

[@cristhiandiaz3683]

you can change the style on the sketch up tabs

[@sovonkhan]

Cool

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Can corelcad sketch a house

[@linkyaya]

my position camera don't works like yours. my Sketchup is 2022. is this the cause?

[@Thesketchupessentials]

Don't think so - that tool hasn't changed in a very long time

[@linkyaya]

@@Thesketchupessentials I have try this trick on my sketchup 2019 and it works. I don't know why my 2022 don't works the same.

[@fadilvi]

The hardest thing in layout is organizing your model ,synch it with sketchup model took too much time when working in real life where you work on large scene, since sketchup don't work using reference...layout layer manager is not getting any new feature either like search layer,...layout need to be restructured to work more efficient

[@Thesketchupessentials]

How many layers do you have to need a search function?

[@fadilvi]

@@Thesketchupessentials many layers...in my recent 20+ ,... sometimes when i got the time i handle layer management but usually not..because deadline . And in layout there's no layer folder too such as in SketchUp. Its usually increased by itself when i use extension such as curic section or fredo..also when working i use as lower resolution as possible to make switching between viewport more light, the drawback is when i export them into pdf , hybrid ( v 2023 had export as hybrid function) it takes very long time to produce 25 pages of pdf (30 min ++) . My drawing usually take 50+pages in final version,.. it take 1h +....using hashwell ,16gb ram, and ssd.. i know that you can cut down export time by using hybrid all the time , but it sacrifice the time when you need to update your skp file or switching between pages.

[@fadilvi]

@@Thesketchupessentials i wonder why everything i said to answer you back is gone..

[@Thesketchupessentials]

@@fadilvi Interesting - I actually don't know - I saw your response in an email notification, and there wasn't anything in it that I thought was unreasonable. I definitely didn't remove it or hide it - sometimes the KZbin comments get a little funky, but it's on their end not mine
