Automatic orthographic view?

mspisz

Is there an easy way to create an orthographic view of an object made in Sketchup? Plugin maybe?

Does SU pro layout contain this option possibly?

Thank you!

The Camera > Standard Views sets the then. The first 6 are Top, Front, ... etc
Remember to switch Perspective 'off' in such views...
Save each View with a new Scene tab and only use pan and zoom otherwise the orthogonal-ness is lost. Restore with the Scene-tab...
I think there is perhaps a plugin to set up a collect of all such tabs - search on 'crai'...
Of course you can make a template .skp with all of the s Scene tabs pre-made...

There is a very handy $5 plugin by Jim Folz here http://sketchuptips.blogspot.com/2009/08/plugin-make-orthographic-views.html that makes ortho views of components. As a woodworker, I use it all the time to help in making shop drawings.

Hi folks.

For the "missing" (missing from the "Views" Tool Bar) "Bottom view", use Menu Camera --> Standard views --> Bottom.

Just ideas.

I think there is a plugin that creates a set of orthographics Scenes, no?

Here is one by Dider: ado

For my room interior projects I have created a template that has all the ortho views in place as scenes, together with their accompanying vertical and horizontal section planes, so that if I model the room around the origin, the needed views are all ready, all I need to do is slightly adjust the section plane locations.
