Here you’ll find our compilation of LayOut tutorials, pointing out some shortcomings of the program, and helping you make the most of its great features.As mentioned previously, SketchUp 2014 has a new scheme for installing plugins. But it is packed with a bunch of tools that will make your models look great on paper. You don’t do any actual modeling in LayOut, it’s really just a presentation tool. There are many note taking tools, including shape tools, text boxes, dimensions, and some commonly used architectural stamps. LayOut also allows you to arrange the perspective view of you model in a way that helps you communicate different features. This is the most common format for construction professions to share ideas and plans, as it is not easy to carry around a computer where ever you go, to show people your model. It incorporates a different set a features that help you take your models you create in SketchUp, and turn them into beautiful looking 2D “Layouts” that can be printed out and shared with other people.
Layout is a supplementary program to SketchUp, and is included when you purchase SketchUp Pro.
