I try many times to draw 3D modelling into 2D floor plan, as failed as I start to add some construction details. Your tutorial help me to understand some missing methods that I have missed. Great idea! Thanks dude :)
This is great - thank you! My only minor critique is that I'd ask you to be consistent in referring to SCENES as SCENES and not referring to them as LAYERS. I understand that you're going to LAYER the SCENES in Layout, but in one of your later videos you talk about "bringing in different layers" and I was scratching my head about how to do that. You're bringing in different scenes. Now I get it. Thanks again.
Great video, proves you don't need to be an obnoxious UA-camr to get a message across, you just have to know wtf you're actually talking about. Keep it up!!
You have a special ability to make order from chaos, I think it starts with the Windows directory. Mine looks like a school kid's lunch box. Naming conventions are like road signs, so "Big Mountain house" works better than "Rural building #1". We have to put up the road signs as we go down the road first time, not knowing how far the road goes, or how many intersections might be coming up.
One question - Can you point me to a video that explains styles? I'm not understanding why you chose hidden line style for for the wall scenes that you stacked in LayOut. Thanks
Hi Justin- thank you so much for all of your tutorials you're a great teacher! Relative to this video at about 17 mins in, when I copy and paste my furniture scene and then toggle the exterior walls view on to 'combine' the two, my floorplan and furniture scenes don't line up or are slightly different sizes. Is there any way to fix this or something I may be doing wrong? Thanks!
Can you give me a link to the first tutorials you did for Sketch-Up? I'm just trying to do a 2-D layout rendition; a space, with furniture dimensions. I find their tutorials tricky to follow.
Hello. Im very new to sketch up. Do you know why I can’t use my keyboard for shortcuts. I tried 2017 sketch up and it made me use my keyboard. But now I installed 2018 sketch up, I can’t use my keyboard. I already reboot my computer but nothing happened.
How can we know or we read the appearance of the dimension of that layout if i will create my project? And if I endorse this plan to the engineer which is he is not yet familiar or tried of this software did he first study yet before he begin or computing materials to put it using of what project he do?
Hi Justin, great video course, I've been following along from the start and have learned an absolute tonne, thank you. I know this video was posted some time ago so uses the older versions of the software, but by all accounts, it all seems to work in much the same way. What I am currently stuck on though is this: I have brought in the furniture floorplan and created a layer for it, then done the same for Walls - Exterior. When I click the eye next to the layer, the walls don't disappear, it does nothing, and if I click the eye next to furniture, the whole lot disappears. It gets even more confusing when I then try to bring in the interior walls because I have no idea where they are and can't find them to click on them. Any advice would be appreciated :)
What a whole lot of steps and needless work! I was always told how "easy" and "simple" sketchup is to use but watching this video makes me want to run away from it!
@@Thesketchupessentials I am using Softplan. I am looking into Sketchup because I really like the looks of some of the sketchup renderings I've seen- non photo realistic. Also the ability to, supposedly, quickly model and export trim and timber 3D items. It would seem to appear that each program has its own place instead of just using one or the other.
Very nicely explained! This is a little complicated and I will have to watch your video again and again to get the hang of it! Thanks a lot for posting such great videos on UA-cam
Hello Justin, can I ask some links about your tutorial video, the sequencing sir, I'm kinda confused what video will I watch next. I'm using Sketchup pro 2021 sir. Hoping for your response sir thank you
I don't have Outliner option in that option bar i don't know how to create layer like you do. Do you have how to make a layer? And how to add Outliner option bar. I can't do anything like you teaching now. It's very sad and distracted so much now.
Whenever I indicate the dimensions for a rectangle I draw on sketch up it gives a different dimension…like for example I type in 16’30’ and it draws 18’46’
Hello I love all the videos very much they all are very informative.. Can u plz help me out... I m not getting default tray option or tray manager in windows in sketchup can u plz help what to do..?
Thank you so much for the tutorial. It saves me tutor costs big time and I am able to make architectural floor plan the way my professor wanted. I am going to check out how the Patreon works
Hi ! I have a question. is it possible to create a drawing in a 1: 1 scale when it comes to large area, if there are restrictions on the size of working fields, can you make a drawing on a scale but set the dimension so that they are in 1:1 (real sizes) I don't know if I explain what I mean but I just have a problem with exporting a sketchup drawing to a layout, I would like to add real dimensions to it, how to do it? thank you in advance for your answer
I have been looking for a solutions for this. I am new to Sketchup, I am learning daily but ran into an issue with something. I downloaded two 3d models in a 2017 format. One is a black pipe nipple threaded and the other is a base or floor plate that that screws into. I wanted to use them for a table as a support structure adn mount them between the legs. I am having a heck of a time using the move function to grab a pint and aligh the pipe nd in the center of the flanged hole? It is rotating and orbiting all over the place. Also when I use teh rotate tool or protractor tool to oreient the part it swings it in all sorts of weird ways. HELP!!!!!
Hi! Great video- im putting a 2 story model into layout, but am having issues with the second story. In layout, when I copy and paste, and then changed the Sketchup model view to a different scene (ICF= 1, Service walls=2, Timbers=3), it is not pasting nicely in line with the first one, scale and location are off and I cannot seem to fix this.
Copy/Pasting shouldn't affect your scale at all...Can you do a "Copy", then go up to "Edit," and select "Paste in Place?" Then you could just move your second story geometry straight up without having to deal with other factors or directions...
the scale stays the same when i copy and paste but when i change the scene in model view, the scale changes to whatever i have it in my Sketchup scene. what i found i had to do was go back to my scenes in Sketchup and make sure they were all the same view/zoom...
Fiverr is a freelancer website makes a test for the freelancers according to their skills Such as googlesketchup I need to know the right answers for that test because i could not pass it ..thanks
Hi Justin, thanks a lot for your very usefull videos, I am new here/using sketchup so still watching and learning... one short question regarding layout: is there any possibility to break the length of an object I put in? - to be precise if I put in for example a pool with the length of 12,0m it is either too big for scale lets say 1:50 but too small to be read/printed for scale of 1:100 (to be printed on paper "A4")....I do not need to see the whole length. Anyway if there is an option to break the lengt the dimensions have to show the real length..sorry for maybe stupid explaining....thank you
thanks man keep it going I have a question The project that I'm working on is a pedestrian bridge I have a problem with the line weight because if I uncheck the background the Topo will show on the bridge and if I uncheck it the bridge will block the Topo.
I'm confused - Which one are you going for? Seems like you'd like the topo to show along with the bridge, so the first option seems like the right one, right?
Nasser Alajmi , you can always export 2 layers and overlay them in Layout with a Paste in Place. Export one scene with a style of everything at 1pt lineweight, then turn off the topo and export the other stuff with a style at 2pt lineweight.
Hi David - I don't know for sure (I haven't talked to those guys about 2018 yet), but I would assume there would be some sort of upgrade required. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great tutorial. I am having one problem though: I do the same thing but with one scene for walls and one for furniture. If I go to layout and if i click the walls scene first but then switch to the furniture scene, the walls are not hidden, they remain visible (even though walls were on a separate layer and everything like in your tutorial). What's causing this? Walls are on layer 0 though....would that be it?
If they're on layer zero, then it's not like my tutorial, because in my tutorial, they're on they're on walls layer that would be turned off in your furniture viewport
Thank you so much for you wonderful and helpful lessons for sketchup and Vray I have two questions about VRay First : some times when I'm trying to discover the effect of different parameters I found myself lost . Is there a way to reset the VRay to go back to the default settings? Second question: In the Vray you know that each shot needs different settings depend in the direction or day or night time and so on , and my question is there a way to save the setting of the shot that I can activate it at any time later.
Great tutorial! It's a bit involving to create plans/sections in Sketchup/Layout. The finished drawings look absolutely amazing however. Have there been improvements in Layout 2020 that make this easier?
You definitely can - I generally end up right clicking and setting it active that way just because I often have planes stacked on top of each other and a lot of the time activate the wrong ones, but double-clicking definitely works! Thanks!
Hi Justin I Have been watching a a lot of your posts over the last couple of days and found these helpful. I am looking at upgrades to a lot of my current design processes and Sketch up pro 2018 with a variety of plugins might be a good option. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge, I will check out some your links.
Thanks Keith - glad you're finding my videos useful! The Pro version comes with a 30 day trial, so maybe give it a try and see if it fits your upgraded process?
Great tutorial! Though this seems a lot of work and pretty inefficient on the part of Layout for not having an easier workaround given that they want to replace autocad 😵💫
Hi ! Thanks for your channel ! it's awesome ! But little question. when i copy my scene in layout, i put background mode for the first scene, and i remove the background mode on my second copy. but, i'dont have transparancy. I can see only one scene. i 'dont have the overlay. You know why ? Thanks in advance !
Ones I was talking about some "jharokha" ( a type of windows in Rajasthan, India) I am sending a link images.app.goo.gl/batbJbBQGmxn7xMS8 I just want to know which plugins I can use. For this
Quick Question, When I add a page in layout it inserts the same thing on page one and anything I alter on page to changes page 1. I dont understand what is going on. It is super frustrating. Please help if you can.
I think I talk about this about 17:00 into this video - ua-cam.com/video/K2p6EnYatqk/v-deo.html - you've probably got a layer set to repeat across all your pages. Let me know if this helps!
Thanks Heather :) - I assume she means a floor plan with different layers to create different line weights, but it's difficult to tell with that amount of info. Did she say anything else?
Awesome instruction. Setting layers in Layout in order to vary line weights, etc. ---> 16:20
Very nice. You covered a lot of important tips that will save me much frustration.
Thanks! I'm going to watch it a few times.
Thank you for learning sketchup
Great tips! I would love a video explaining how to represent a staircase (both floors) in layout.
I try many times to draw 3D modelling into 2D floor plan, as failed as I start to add some construction details. Your tutorial help me to understand some missing methods that I have missed. Great idea!
Thanks dude :)
Thank you very much for your help Justin !!!
How do you make a 2D floor plan without going 3D?
Omg. I was having a hard time to see a good video like this. Thanks a lot!!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this video. It helped me to fasten process of drawing ! I did it another way, but your way is more simple and fun
I like your videos - they are clear and no bullshit! Excellent.
Thanks very much :)
Great playlist, helped a lot.
Glad it helped!
Hi, is there a way to do this easier? I mean, to bring different line weights for exterior, interior walls and furniture into layout .
Not fking kidding. This guy is the best. Thank you so much for your videos. Your a true wizard dude.
Glad you're liking them!
@@Thesketchupessentials Seriously tho. Your a great teacher! YOUR A GOD!

As always great tutorial. Do you know if the new shaded section cut in 2018 will force ConDoc to update their extension?
Hi David - I don't know for sure (I haven't talked to those guys about 2018 yet), but I would assume there would be some sort of upgrade required. Thanks for watching!
Are the layers you’re creating in Layout added to the Model’s Layers, or are they unique to Layout? Don’t you already have some of these layers?
Layout layers are their own thing - they aren't the same as the model layers. Thanks!

Quick Question, When I add a page in layout it inserts the same thing on page one and anything I alter on page to changes page 1. I dont understand what is going on. It is super frustrating. Please help if you can.
I think I talk about this about 17:00 into this video - ua-cam.com/video/K2p6EnYatqk/v-deo.html - you've probably got a layer set to repeat across all your pages. Let me know if this helps!
rt click on the particular page and remove the items to repeat on every page by selecting current instead "on every inside page from move to layer.
You're a great teacher! I might pass my class after all. My teacher said she wanted a layered floor plan from sketchup. What did she mean?
Thanks Heather :) - I assume she means a floor plan with different layers to create different line weights, but it's difficult to tell with that amount of info. Did she say anything else?
What is "layout?
