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

[@truthr6023]

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.

please make a tutorial on isometric floor plan render in lumion

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.

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.

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

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!
