What version of SketchUp/LayOut are you using? If 2023 or 2024, make sure you untick the Output Override box in LayOut's Document Setup>Rendering. When that box is ticked, LayOut will render raster viewports as Hybrid or Vector depending on which option is selected. Both Hybrid and Vector rendering result in Vector linework. To show the sketchy line style the viewports must remain Raster rendered.

Example: Same scene with a sketchy line style.

Very well done 👌

I missed all of this, when does the free content go away? am I too late?

@samuel_t bump 🙂

Perfect!

Here's a bunch of variations.

@Gus-R

Rich is correct, fantastic model, and renders.

@Box Thank you sir! I finally got things working correctly and was able to "play around" a little. The image below represents what I figured out using the FredoScale tools. I greatly appreciate your help. 😁 👍 👍

@Ke3

It would be useful you indicate which error you got when exporting.

Possibly, it would also be helpful to have the skp file to have a look.

You can add chamfer tool same auto cad

@wgriffith

I've never heard of this before.
What's your OS ?
Do you have the latest version installed ?
If it fails to appear in the Extensions menu / toolbars can you please check if the file SketchUcation.rb and its subfolder are still in your Plugins folder...
If it is there try this...
Open the Ruby Console [under Extensions > Developers Tools] and type or copy/paste this in + return

load 'SketchUcation.rb'

What happens ?
Do you have similar issues with any other extensions ?

Hmm, curious but happy.

I restarted yet again and it seems to have fixed it.

Here is hoping.

@pixelcruncher My pleasure to do that. I guess it works for beginners to get familiar with the interface and materials and those who are specially into product rendering.

@zulesg
You can model wall internals in 3D, and Section will show you the contours of each element's cross section.
However, to automatically display them with appropriate hatches is not possible in Sketchup.
It's a feature found in BIM software, like Autodesk Revit. Sketchup acts more like 2D CAD application here.

That said, you can send the sectioned scene of a model to Layout, and add hatches manually by drawing shapes and choosing pattern for them from Layout Scrapbooks.

@Rich-O-Brien 18K is how it shows in the software. Comes out to be over 15K. Yeah, D5's displacement isn't very good. I don't think it's actual displacement. It gets distorted when viewed along the sides of an object. Sometimes I just turn it off in the material.

hhola nos podrías ayudar con la actualizacipon de windows builder para la version sketchup 2024 . gracias

@djh Scale doesn't make any sense for Perspective views. That's why it is only available for Parallel Projection.

Create scenes that show the model the way you want to see it in LayOut. When you insert the SketchUp file into LayOut, the boundary of the first viewport is determined by the size of the paper. It's unlikely that the aspect ratio of your paper matches the aspect ratio of the SketchUp model window. If the paper is oriented in Landscape mode, the height of the viewport will be set as a percentage of the height of the paper. The width of the viewport will probably get cropped a bit. That depends on the aspect ratios. If you only want a single viewport on a page, set up the scene so the model is well within the resulting viewport. You can use the Advanced Camera tools to show the safe area in the SketchUp model window. Figure out the aspect ratio of the paper you are using and either select a camera with the same ratio or create a custom camera to do that.

I can only agree, you are on a proper roll with this series, not cheese and ham either.

Cap doffed.
