    Note follow up to the above: I had to get a new computer and what a difference! SU still can crash and it still needs to be able handle nominally larger files but my SU-LO experience is SO much improved. I think the SSD drive is big part of that... and rendering forget it! I don't even feel tempted to network my old computer for rendering--I probably wouldn't notice those two cores.

      Sonder. Wow! You picked up exactly what I was getting at. I couldn't have wished for a better clear and concise answer. It's opened it up for me. Thank you.
      pbacot. I'm sure a new computer would be uplifting. It's on my wish list. I do find LO to be resource hungry.

        Agreed, but I'll bet it is your video card that made the difference. Mine is amazingly fast now.

          Question for Sonder,

          Further back in this thread, you mentioned that you supply coloured drawings to the owner, builder and for the permit set. The other plan sets would presumably be greyscale. I am wondering how your details sheets read when printed in greyscale. The coloured details are very clear but the distinction in the materials may not be so clear without the colour. Perhaps you could post an example.

          Regards,
          KrisM

            SketchUp 2013 vindicates the argument of those who have championed the idea of creating Construction Documents in SU/ LO.

            Please forgive the blatant advertising- For anyone who is interested in finding out how to set up SU/ LO for Con Docs please take a look at my book-

              Hi group,

              folowing up on Nick's workflow I am encountering problems copying and pasting section linework to layout2013. I get an empty sketchup model reference whenever I paste the geometry from sketchup...

              Actually I can only export it properly with the "send to layout" menu or inserting it in layout as a sketchup reference with a scene properly set up. Am I hitting a bug or just missing something?

              Thanks, specially to Nick for sharing his workflow!

                Hi all-

                The "copy from SketchUp and paste in LayOut" bug was introduced by some of the major refactoring in SketchUp. A fix for this is in QA as we speak and should be available soon.

                thanks,

                              I first started using Layout 3 years ago. Attached is one of my earliest pieces of work that I did in 2012.

                              For the section cut, I used conventional 2D CAD (after fleshing out a section cut taken from Sketchup), exported to PDF, then imported it into Layout, with the Sketchup model section view as the backdrop. If I were to do it again, I don’t think I would bother with the 2D CAD program, but simply add pattern fills to Section Cut Face in Sketchup.
                              Composite Section

                              Also a Construction Schematic, all taken from one Sketchup Model. It involved assigning the different construction stages as layers on different groups of geometries. I would only consider doing this for the smallest of projects in future.
                              Construction Scheme

                              I’m very envious of the high level of quality I am seeing in this post, though. I have a lot to live up to!

                                Nice drawings Tommy. I think Though, in the future, you should be able to post better resolution, so we can enjoy it more. Looks like you've used SU to evolve your product.

                                  Update on the Round Barn. Its still going up.
                                  Can't really share much... but I've been asked to help template the slate roof.
                                  3 different pitches.
                                  80' dia footprint.
                                  Tapers everywhere.

                                  Concept below, for the middle pitch.
                                  Getting as built conditions from the builder this week. Then will have to generate the slates.
                                  They want to pre-cut as much as they can... over 6000 slates in the lower roof alone.

                                    Awesome! Here's hoping the improved vector rendering is, in fact, improved, huh?

                                    Labeling is going to be a treat too, I would image. Sweet frame, btw!

                                          Still amazed that the barn is going to be a working barn. Incredible, really, that they are doing this.
