Exporting to the scale drawings with shadows from SU Pro 7.1

Hi Arjun,
If you have to make presentation of your drawings and have SU PRO, you definitly have to use Layout...Take the time to learn it, it's really easy and good !
I'll post an example during the day...

I would even leave PS out completely. You can adjust line weights/colours/styles in LO (if you explode your vector rendered model) and all.

Or if you do want to use an Adobe app, go for Illustrator instead of Photoshop. You can alter the vector linework, even apply Illustrator strokes to the linework.

Actually I have corel draw for vector graphics.....and using it for 3 years... never used illustrator. In India, I haven't seen anyone workin' on illustrator. CorelDRAW is being used extensively for graphic designing here and I really like it. So can I import a layout file in CorelDRAW??

Don't think that you can do that...because you can only export in jpg or pdf from Layout. But you could export in pdf and open it in Corel. But using Layout in far more simply.

totally agree with you that layout is extremely simple...but i'll have to take out time to learn using it .
i'll just export a pdf from layout and do the rest in coreldraw.....thanks a lot!!

By the way, Would it be possible for a Ruby guru to develop a vector shadow outline plugin? SU seems to have that kind of functionality, for instance, in the procedure it follows when baking in the Photo Match textures.

As promised this is an example of a job I made with SU and Layout. I just delete some informations relative to the client.
I learned Layout doing this work, and don't take me a long time to find how it works.
If you need some help on Layout, just aske here or better, in the forum section for Layout.
Regards.

nice work panga.. do you use revit?? I don't know revit but some archicad.. can such drawings be made faster in BIM software as compared to sketchup ?? I mean if a person is proficient in both su and revit..which software eventually wins the time race??

Hi,
I only use SU in order to model this work. And I don't know Revit so can't tell you if it's better or not than SU. And I Think that for equivalent skills whatever the software...I think the difference comes when you want to use your model after for other goals than 3D presentation. SU is only for 3D modelling and presentation, I think that Revit can do a lot more.
