Are you exporting from SketchUp or Layout? If you are exporting as a dxf/dwg then there shouldnt be a quality issue as it will be only linework that you can work with in AutoCAD. I would recommend turning off/hiding any graphical elements/imagery when you export though. It might be easier to not export the title blocks either and instead do this directly in CAD. Hope this helps

You are welcom, so glad this was helpful for you. I am looking to build some more content for this channel. Is there anything in particular that i can help you with?

You are welcome. Glad this was helpful. Layout is so under-rated and really turns SketchUp into something approaching BIM level. Is there anything else specific that you are looking for help with?

Thank you. Hope you found this useful. Please do let me know if there is anything else specific that you are looking for help with and I will record some more content

Thanks. I dont use Skalp. I simply drew the hatches with linework in Sketchup and then saved this to my material library

Lumion works alongside SketchUp to render in real time, as do some of the other rendering programmes like Twinmotion. This tutorial is more about creating quick 2D imagery using photographs of the existing context. Is Rendering something that you would like to see more content on?

@@skalastudio9544 yes

You are welcome. Do let me know if there are other topics you would like me to record tutorials on

Sure: www.skala.studio/courses

Glad it was helpful!

No problem 👍

You're welcome!

I am using 2024, but some of these videos were recording using an earlier version

You can add meta-data in the component attributes and run report to create a schedule. I teach this in more detail in my Drawing Formula course: www.skala.studio/courses

Thank you! I would love to know what other topics you are looking for help on so that I can make more videos

@@skalastudio9544 making sketchup Tips….

Ha ha, thank you. I am working on some SketchUp modelling for architecture content. Is this the sort of thing you would like to see more of?

thanks @bernischuh2828, I drew that myself in SketchUp then converted it into a texture

Thanks @Rudhamstile. I am from the UK so only really work in metric but all of the same principles apply for those working with imperial measurments

I tend to interchange between calling them layers and tags, I am still getting used to it myself. The reason they changed it was because they introduced Layers into Layout which has vastly improved it from a graphical control point of view.

Thanks

It is a pretty cheap peice of software compared to other BIM programs and it is well worth the purchase in my opinion

Thank you, Do let me know if there are any other SketchUp and Layout tutorials you are looking for

Thanks Dave

It is true that you can now associate certain line styles to different tags in SketchUp. This is great for drawing boundary lines and dashed demolition areas. However, you cannot yet assign different line WEIGHTS to tags in SketchUpm hence the need to stack viewports to get different pen thicknesses.

@@skalastudio9544 Hi mate, yeah you can actually change line weight by tag. You just change the 'edge width' when you change the line style from default.

Yes, thanks

Sounds great. I have always had really positive feedback, especially on site.

Awesome, thank you!

Thank you, please check out the rest of my channel

More to come!

Thank you

Thanks @bellousow2607. As with everything in SketchUp, there are a number of ways to do these things. I know architects you keep a library of detail 'viewports' in a layout scrapbook they they reuse. Personally I prefer to do as much in SketchUp as I can. I save these details as components and then create a new model, with my live building model inserted and then adapt or build these detailed vignettes around it. If the building design changes, the model updates and I just need to revise the details

Absolutely

Thanks @saqu.studio. This was a game changer for me too, it gives me complete control of how my drawings look which is something I found really quite difficult in the larger BIM programs. I am working on some more modelling focussed and rendering tutorials. Is there is a specific rendering package that you are looking to learn?

Thanks

Glad you liked it
