I changed the sheet size to A2 the border of the template changed but the white background still as the original, how to fill the white background to the new format A2?
Hi, I am just a starter in this SketchUp as I need to do some design drawings for my design works, and I need to do it the right way at the start and making a title Block is a good way to Start. Thanks
This is exactly what I needed to know! I love to have some more simple videos like this that show just basic features. Right now for example I'm having a ton of trouble navigating through my scenes, and I need to learn how to make layers in SketchUp.
Thanks Justin. I'm an architect who is in the process of integrating 3D more completely in to my practice. I've chosen SketchUp to do this with. Seems like there is less tutorial content out there for LayOut so I especially appreciate your LayOut videos.
Justin, I have also had trouble with scenes which were created in Sketchup not being transferred correctly to Layout. e.g. I created a floor plan,saved it as a scene and inserted into Layout, but it showed up as a 3D view of the model with the wall heights cut off. Why does this happen ?
Trying to add a page text block to a template that is included with new page, but editable (with different text) for each page. The idea is to have a common page,description location, but different text. When I add a text box to a template and have it automatically placed on every page, and change the text on one page, it changes on every page, not allowing me to have different page descriptions.
Hi Justin! Your Video's are very good! Easy to follow and easy to understand :) But i have a question; If you are finished with the "Titel Block", everything you do and mark in Layout is changing from Blue to Red? Can you tell me why and also how to change it? Best Regards ;)
Thx a lot it help me to find out the way for 5 years. By the way, can we use the auto cad title box put in the layout to make it mix with the team in using autocad drawing
I was looking for a way to have a company logo appear on every page of Layout without having to manually paste it on to every page. Starting at 13:00 in the video you show how to do this using a combination of groups, layers, "control whether this layer is shared across all pages" and document set-up. Thanks so much for showing how to accomplish important tasks when Sketchup and Layout defy intuition.
I don't know that they defy intuition - they're just like anything else though - you've got to learn how to use the features to be able to utilize the features. Glad it helped!
Hi Justin, great tutorial! I wonder if there's any way we can make the drawing scale as auto text? So when we change the scale of any layout, the "scale" text in drawing title is automatically updated.
Hello Justin. I have not experimented with LayOut what so ever yet. For someone who's plate is Full, is there any Templates that are available to download, plug in or however, just to quickly Modify?
Hi Jim - what kind of templates specifically are you looking for? I think there are some scrapbook files here - sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=49829 , but I don't think I fully get what you're trying to do...
@@Thesketchupessentials Hey Justin. I actually opened up Layout for the 1st time 2 days ago. Templates are right there. Obviously the user we need to change them to there liking. I will just refer to your Video. No big deal. Thanks buddy!
Informative, useful and easy to understand like all of your videos, particularly TheSketchUpEssentials Course. I purchased your course and it is extremely helpful. On the topic of title blocks that you use over and over is the topic of custom standard details that you use over and over in your layout drawings. For example, if you build decks you may use the same footing detail, stair connection detail, house ledger connection detail etc. in all or many of your drawings. Can these details be stored on a page in your saved template? If so then, for example, when you select your custom template all of your details will already be on say page 3. I look forward to your videos on Layout.
Hi Robert - Thank you very much! I really appreciate that you liked the course. I have not done a video quite yet on custom standard details, but that's a very good topic idea - I may actually put something like this together the week after next. The answer to your question is yes, they can be stored, but I'd recommend storing them in a scrapbook rather than in a page template. You probably don't want all of your standard details getting brought in to every new project you make (that would create some pretty large template files). Instead, if you save them within a scrapbook, you could drag over the details you need into your plans whenever you need them. I haven't really talked about scrapbooks too much on the channel yet, but they're very useful. Did that make sense? More to come in the next couple weeks. Thanks!
Hi Justin, Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! Could I ask a question? I set up the title block on A3 plain paper. Now that it is saved as a template, I learned that I need to change the units to feet and inches. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!
You could crop it by creating a clipping mask - I'll get that added to my list of vids to make - you'd basically draw over the section of the DWG you'd like to show, then select the objects you drew and go up to "Edit," "Create Clipping Mask." That should clip out all the areas of your DWG that aren't within your shape. Thanks!
Thank you so much! You're lifesaver for my business!
Nice. Made one similar. ua-cam.com/video/hwJg7skJKzg/v-deo.html
hi, new to layout. I am using layout for drawings. but the dimensioning tool is not accurate. Is there any setting that I missed?
Thank you for this video. It was just what I need it.

Thank you! appreciate the tutorial but it's very... fast. Had to pause and go back a lot but its all there so GREAT
Justin, I have also had trouble with scenes which were created in Sketchup not being transferred correctly to Layout. e.g. I created a floor plan,saved it as a scene and inserted into Layout, but it showed up as a 3D view of the model with the wall heights cut off. Why does this happen ?
It sounds like you didn't actually select the scene for the viewport in Layout?
AHA! Your video was the perfect answer to my questions on assigning start page numbering, etc. THANK YOU!
hi Justin! can you give us scrapbooks.
But when I sent to layout my model it says you can't lunch the layer what shall I do, Thanks God bless and Jesus Loves you.
I don't know what this means....
hi there. Loving these bud.
trying to create a contents page currently... any suggestions??
Generally I create a table inside of Excel, then import that table - makes managing the information a lot easier. You can control the format in Layout
This is the best Sketchup video I have ever watched!!!! Holy heck! You are amazing! I cannot begin to thank you for this help!
hi how can i delete my own templete in sketchup layout
A6 is the usual size, like putting the logo in automatically too. Big time saver right there
Great Video, easy way to make custom templates in Layout, Thanks
Is this only for the paid version of sketch up or can i apply it to the free version?
Thank you for these videos! They are very helpful.
Thanks Justin, very helpful. I have had some problems with scenes repeating on each page of a layout. Is this because of the layers on each page ?
It sounds like you've got them on a "on all pages" layer
Trying to add a page text block to a template that is included with new page, but editable (with different text) for each page.

When I add a text box to a template and have it automatically placed on every page, and change the text on one page, it changes on every page, not allowing me to have different page descriptions.
For the layer section, if you click the little image of the 2 pieces of paper, this will change it so that that layer doesn't repeat on multiple pages
I'm just learning layout and your videos are very helpful
Hi Justin! Your Video's are very good! Easy to follow and easy to understand :) But i have a question; If you are finished with the "Titel Block", everything you do and mark in Layout is changing from Blue to Red? Can you tell me why and also how to change it? Best Regards ;)
I think that red indicates that it's on a layer that's being duplicated across multiple pages - not 100% sure though
Hi Justin, can you use existing cad title block in layout?
I believe you can import DWG files to Layout, so most likely yes
Can you export an existing CAD TB to layout?
heelo brother from indonesia
Very helpful. This what I have look for
Thx a lot it help me to find out the way for 5 years. By the way, can we use the auto cad title box put in the layout to make it mix with the team in using autocad drawing
I assume you could import a DWG title box
The background music is an annoying distraction.
Well it's gone in newer videos

Just what I needed, thanks once again.
Thank you Justin! Great help!
Tank you very much
Really useful and easy to follow. Thanks
You are a really good teacher. Thank you.
Awesome as always. Full of information but to the point, not much wasted time in his videos.

Glad you liked it Oscar!
Thank you, very helpful.
Woah! It’s better than AutoCAD!
Why is the quality of my sketchup drawings a bit blocky, edgy in layout. How can I make it finer.
You need to change your rendering style - see tip 2 in this video - ua-cam.com/video/pj5AMnmazNI/v-deo.html
Hi Justin,
Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! Could I ask a question?
I set up the title block on A3 plain paper. Now that it is saved as a template, I learned that I need to change the units to feet and inches. Is there a way to do this?
Thank you!
You should be able to change this in your document setup - "File," "Document Setup," "Units"
Thank you :)
Amazing. Keep up the great work you have gotten me out of some serious geometry binds.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you very much! You're so good at explaining
Glad it was helpful!
Very nice video, learned a lot.
Thank you
nice info...
You rock!
just found this video and it's exactly what i needed
Glad it helped!
GREAT VIDEO! how do I crop a detail of a DWG file (After imported it) inside Layout? Thanks
You could crop it by creating a clipping mask - I'll get that added to my list of vids to make - you'd basically draw over the section of the DWG you'd like to show, then select the objects you drew and go up to "Edit," "Create Clipping Mask."
