Before I get started, I want to thank my supporters on Patreon.
You can get more information about modeling for Layout in SketchUp by visiting TheSketchUpEssentials.com/layout. That’s my hub for information about creating plans and modeling for Layout, so if you’re looking for more tutorials, books, or other resources about layout, that’s where you want to go!
So I want to talk a bit in this video about some tips for modeling for exteriors in SketchUp, then creating your exterior elevation plans in Layout.
To start off, you can start fairly simple, just by modeling your building. If you have some terrain or something like that to begin from, that’s usually a good thing to have in your model as well. If not, don’t worry about it for now.
In this case, I’m using a model from the building bundle from Mindsight Studios – you can actually download this model from the sample file, which I’ll link to in the notes down below, as well as sharing a link of the whole bundle.
First thing – once you have your building modeled, you’re going to want to set up some scenes.
If you remember from some of my previous Layout tutorials, the way that you can create your views in Layout is to create various scenes within SketchUp, then you can import from those scenes in order to generate your pages in Layout.
To start off, let’s create a front elevation. To do this in most models, you’re going to start by clicking on the front camera view, then set your camera to parallel projection.
Picking a style – Black and white? Colored?
Depth indication – fog
Once scene is set up, save your tab using animation, add scene
Now we’re going to go over into layout. Select a template – if you have your own, great, if not, just pick one of the SketchUp templates
