I’ve many scenes in SketchUp 3D for views in my structure drawings. I’d prefer to have a number of traces of scenes on the prime of the display screen in order that I can arrange them between constructing views and particulars. Is there a method to do that? If not, it might be nice to have folders for scenes, just like the tag folders. Thanks
Not at the moment.
This characteristic request has been made. Hopefully one among today we’ll see it added.
FWIW, I’ve discovered that I’ve been capable of drastically scale back the variety of scenes I must create in SketchUp with adjustments which have been made in LayOut within the final a number of variations.
What model of SketchUp and LayOut are you utilizing? Please full your discussion board profile.
Dave, Thanks to your reply. I’ve up to date my discussion board profile. I’d like to listen to extra about the best way you employ LayOut. I exploit the SU mannequin for 99% of the drafting, except particulars to point out hatch patterns, overlaid on the SU views. (and notes and dimensions). You’ll be able to see a number of of my LayOut sheets on the backside of the primary web page of my web page. I exploit about 4 layers in LayOut, and 40 to a 100 layers, tags, in SU.
If I have been you I might create a brand new tray only for scenes and transfer it to the aspect. Assuming you have got a couple of monitor. Then use some naming syntax that kinds them conveniently.
Paul, I’ve discovered that in lots of instances I can use a single scene/digicam place for a couple of viewport in LO. Merely altering which tags and/or tag folders are seen for a given viewport replaces the necessity for a bunch of in any other case an identical scenes. I don’t add any sprint kinds to the tags in SketchUp and in addition reserve that setting for LO. That’s it in a nutshell.
I’m hoping they offer us the power to decide on lively scene cuts for viewports in LO. That can additional scale back the variety of scenes I must handle.
I discover that my scene rely typically blows out when including cross sections. It’s simple to have 20 or extra.
I’m wondering if there’s an answer the place LayOut can activate and reference Cross Part reduce names in the identical method that it references Views (prime, left…)
There isn’t at the moment. I’d prefer to see the power to activate or deactivate part cuts like one can do with tags. Finest observe is to not modify the Digicam away from the scene’s Digicam properties. There are many examples proven in posts on this discussion board that present the sorts of havoc modifying the Digicam settings could cause.
Thanks all to your enter. Appears to be like like we simply discover work-arounds and carry on trucking. I’ve discovered that the 3D mannequin is quick to work with, besides when it has timber with leaves. I typically break the LO drawings into a number of units; website plan, textual content code notes, perspective views, common constructing views, and one for inside elevations. If the LO set will get too many sheets, it slows all the way down to a crawl.
