Hey all,
Know this in all probability has been A&A’d however I can’t discover it for the lifetime of me. Am simply doing fundamental flooring plans for some house renovations on Format. I’m very acquainted with drawings as I’m a millwright and know create/learn prints. I believed this program would make the method much less cumbersome however I’ve run into some issues.
-
Scale: I understand how to attract/learn scale however am having problem using it in this system. After I arrange the A4 template (or another), I would like the dimensions chosen from the drop down menu to learn out for me. For instance: If I’m drawing a 12’ x 12’ sq. in 1:4, I would like the scaled measurement to learn out as 4’ x 4’ with out me having to do the maths an try to “freehand” it into place.

Use of layers: Seeing as I’ve written this out, could as nicely ask the specialists. As I am going via totally different variations of potential layouts, I wish to create layers (which I do know is feasible.) I ought to be capable to toggle between them/create new variations whereas nonetheless seeing the unique floorprint proper? Can discover the reply someplace else if y’all don’t have the endurance, simply realizing its potential is sufficient. Know that is fundamental af however sadly I haven’t received that far into what I’m attempting to take action I figured kill 2 birds with one stone.
I actually admire the assistance, know these are in all probability posted on a regular basis and fully get the frustration seeing these. Nonetheless, having searched youtube/reddit/FAQs/boards for two hours earlier than posting this and nonetheless not discovering a solution, felt I’d give the board a shot (As a Logic Professional X person and discussion board contributor, getting began is all the time the worst.) This simply saves me from manually drawing it, after spending about 4 hours on figuring this out (2 brute pressure and ignorance, 2 looking out), I’m fourth and inches from saying f*** it so any and all assistance is appreciated.
TIA
You could be coming at this from the mistaken route.
Format is a instrument for creating second drawings from the 3d mannequin you mannequin in Sketchup.
Format itself will not be the best second drawing software program, it may be used for that however actually extra of an adjunct to its predominant job of making second drawings from the 3d you already created.
Don’t get me mistaken, it’s a second doc producer, nevertheless it is probably not what you expect.
To assist obtain your targets, a while spent on the SketchUp Campus and on the SketchUp – YouTube channel shall be very worthwhile. Each websites are from the SketchUp staff. On the YouTube channel, take note of the Sq. One Collection. It covers the fundamentals for every instrument.
