Style choices are preserved scene by scene. SketchUp provides a wide array of default styles to meet the goals of your drawings. Do you want to see materials, shaded objects, or all grayscale linework? Use styles to define the appearance of edges, section fills, colors, and materials. Avoid that potential rework by creating all the sections you’ll need before saving scenes. Section planes added after you define a scene will show up in each previous scene you’ll need to go back and hide the section plane and update each scene you’ve already created. Pro tip: add all of your section planes before you save any scenes. Manage section plane visibility and whether the active cut is on or off in the Styles menu. Use the Move tool to shift the planes up and down or side to side. Select the Section Plane tool - and click on a face in the model to orient the section cut. Section planes cut through the model to show a cross-section of the walls and spaces within. Styles menu interface and active section plane in SketchUp - 3D model by John Luttropp, available on 3D WarehouseĬreating a plan view and creating sections in LayOut are essentially the same, both done using the Section Plane tool. While you can manipulate models and toggle tags off and on in LayOut, it’s much easier and improves performance if you set those details in SketchUp. It’s good practice to think about doing ‘SketchUp stuff’ in SketchUp and ‘LayOut stuff’ in LayOut. LayOut’s real strengths are in creating and organizing 2D assets that sit on top of your model, like title blocks and annotations. LayOut and SketchUp work hand-in-hand, but each does its own thing very well. While making a floorplan in LayOut can be as simple as creating a section cut in your SketchUp model and clicking “Send to LayOut,” there are a few things to consider before moving into LayOut that will make your life much easier. ![]() Layers: assign drawings, titles, and annotations to different layers to fine-tune what’s visible and how everything is ordered on each sheetįor a closer look at how to get started with LayOut, follow along with this SketchUp Skill Builder.Pages: add, delete, copy, and arrange different pages within your LayOut document. ![]()
