My local printshop will run off 36x24 sheets from a USB stick for C$2.50 each and it takes very little time (I'm quite amazed at how fast modern large format printers can be) to get a full set for my current house project printed up. Its still on the "Staircase" layer, just not part of the component now.Įveryone is clear that LO has no problems with printing A1 or 36"x24" type drawings, right? I've seen so many threads and posts asking about that sort if thing that I thought it might be worth reminding people. You break the staircase out of the Component then.
Sometimes, one apartment must have some special thing in it different from the other.įor example, say the staircase has to be different in each one because of site level conditions. So, i just make then a component, copy it and flip it and i am done. Sure, you would do this for little things, but also for big things this is really useful.įor example, i have 6 apartments, and they are a mirror image of each other. Use Components to model things that are the same. Then, you group it, and apply the material and the layer tag at the group level.ĭoing this gives you maximum control over things and allows for speedy changes.Ĥ. Weird advice i know.īy this, i mean that you draw all lines and faces on layer zero, with no material or anything applied. Google should simply change the default Layer ADD functionality to do it this way in my opinion.ģ. Also get the "Add hidden Layer" plugin cant remember where i got it This allows you to add a layer WITHOUT it being turned on for ALL your scenes, which is what you actually want. The "Dims" relates to what is on that layer.Ģ. The "Plan" relates to what type of view it is. The "0" relates to the level in the building. You need this because then you can control on what scene (page) the dimensions are visible on.įor example, look at the following layer names: 0_Plan_dims, 2_Section_Dims Have a layer for each Scene view, where you can put your dimensions on. I guess thats why so many plugin have come out to match vertical industriesġ.
So, you have to modify your workflow and best practices to match what your trying to achieve. Layout and Sketch-up is designed to be workable for many different vertical industries. It takes some "Best Practices" to get the best out of the software, like any software. BUT, you have to use it in the right way is what i say. I actually think Sketch-up & Layout is better then all of them for my work anyway. I am an architect and have used many CAD packages over the last 15 years. I will post more tips on my web site and some Sketchup and Layout files to help others.
