Drawing views on SketchUp?? Please help

one2 · 1 Jun 2008, 03:52

Hi, I have SketchUp Pro 6.4 and I was wondering how to get these different views/cameras of my building, because I want to trace them for my design class. It's a bit difficult to just orbit to get these views because as you see it (Search in 3D Warehouse: Lupo Concept), it's a bit abstract.. I know that you can get isometric views, but I was wondering if there are any plugins or ways to get these cameras/drawing views:

planometric
oblique (cavalier and cabinet)
planometric

If you look at the building you can see it would be hard just to get a front view with the side on a 45degree angle as required for an oblique view. Unless you can see this, it would be greatly appreciated if somebody could suggest a plugin/way to get these drawing views or take screenshots of the building in different views and upload them!!!!
Can somebody please help me out!

thanks! but how do I get the oblique projections?

I am not sure - but what do you get, if you choose the ISO view of the SketchUp default views and switch to parallel projection?

SU does not have oblique views, only isometric. Oblique views used to be quite popular in the hand drafting days, but I don't know of any 3D application that can do them.

one2 (the man with many names!),

I thought making oblique projections (-cavalier and -cabinet) was more or less taken care of in the other forum:
http://groups.google.com/group/sketchuphowto/browse_frm/thread/1ef6ee1e6bfada67#
in sort of simulating/approaching the right projection. I'm still thinking of a better way though.

About the other projection: planometric. To set up a 3D-environment for this seems a lot easier.
In fact I think it could even be made into a ruby plugin for general use. That's for ruby-scripters to decide and for you to request.
If not you could use sort of a template if you need it a lot.

Let me work on the model to present on how to achieve this.
A little patience s'il vous plaît. I got to do it right. I'm half way now.

lol thanks.. but im not asking you to do so - this aspect of the unit isn't significant. It's only for this unit in which im designing a nightclub, that our teacher wants us to implement different drawing views throughout our folio- it's not like the main presentation or anything.
