This was very useful because there are so many hidden possibilities in SketchUp that one generally hasn't the time to explore and when you introduce the ability to combine or conjugate settings, it gets even more ambiguous and elusive. So, thank you.
Great video but I use Make 2017 and do a similar thing with layers which means I can turn things on and off that way without being locked into a specific view - not bothered too much about fog and shadows as a woodworker!
Great advice, hopefully i can reduce the amount of scenes in a project. It would be a great feature if scenes had category tabs, so you can group different parts of a project ( VIEWS ) into a category... EXAMPLE: A kitchen has many cabinets, and one cabinet may have different features, or views... put all views of one cabinet into a category...
Can I control the scene camera angles from Layout or do I have to update the scene to the current view of the scene properties from Sketch Up and then relink my file in Layout? Thanks again for the videos, they are helping me so much at work.
Yes! In the SketchUp Model panel in LayOut you can change the view to any scene from your model. You can also double-click on the viewport in LayOut to navigate to a different view as you would in SketchUp.
Now we’re talkin, I’m guilty of making many a scenes. This is something that will really come in handy in many ways. How does this carry.through to layout, can I for instance have a scene ( using your example) of the house with the roof visible , copy, paste, move then have hidden lines/ roof off. I guess I’m asking do we have the same controls over scenes in Layout as in model? Big Thanks for this one Aaron.
Exactly what I was thinking about. This technique is interesting when working in Sketchup, but when you work in Layout, you need completely defined scenes that produce a view ready to use.
Hi, could you please describe the best way to prepare scenes for export to Layout ? There is still not enough materials to learn Layout, or they are from a few years ago
