      Pirun - lovely, stylish, clear drawings. Nice. I've made plenty of good, solid, descriptive drawings but - like Sonder - you've made something positively artistic as well.

      I'm going to toot my own horn a little here because I've just released a plugin intended to help with getting things set up to make doing the LO pages for components easier. See http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=45790

              Pirun,
              Fantastic use of LayOut. I would like to hear about your workflow from Su to LO.
              Thanks for sharing...

                    Very nice work indeed,but and this may be a stupid question but how to you combine two sketch-up models into one layout file?

                      Just insert another from the file menu. I've had 3-4 in a single LO drawing.

                      I'll do another vid next week on getting started.

                          The idea of the whiteout mask: feels like a candidate for a plugin, or perhaps sections should have a built-in, definable "limit". I use fog often in detail shots to filter out complicated backgrounds and give depth & emphasis. Good ideas.

                            Yes, I wish that section could show to infinity or to limit back to some distance. I haven't had luck with fog.

                            I should note I only use that whiteout technique when I do shop drawings, as i need to isolate each bent or section for the shop crew. Very rarely when I do a typical building section, as I want to show what is goIng on throughout.

                            A nice feature of the whiteout block is that they are all the same size for each direction of the building - so when I set up my scenes I can zoom extents each one and when I place them in LayOut when I go from one to the next they stay in the same place. Very cool bonus that tends to keep my grid lines and floor lines and height callouts in the same location from page to page.

                            I'll have to contact TIG. Man that would be sweet to have built in. It could take the raw width and height of the sectioned area , add a user defined margin, and then offset back a chosen distance. Create a white plane, hide edges, place on same layer (or layername-WO) and get it all done.

                              TIG wrote me a quick standalone plugin to do this...!
                              Not sure if he's posted it yet to the forums.

                                My drawings snuck into a news spot on a recent timber frame workshop here in VT. Here's the screen cap: (and a link)

                                No mention of me or my work, but good press for the TFG and their continuing hands on approach to education and the building arts.

                                    Thanks. I need to start embedding my logo with the clients logo on this stuff.

                                    I should have asked the big G for royalties. I was on their LayOut page for quite a while.

                                          Thanks!. One of the crew from Trimble (Google at the time) came out to interview me and made the video.

                                            Wow, that IS fantastic, for you and SketchUp. Well done too. I like the sheets flopping one after another onto the screen. What's the renderer for those interior shots that show while Marshall is speaking? Good job! Peter
