[UPDATED] My LayOut Scrapbook for Architectural Drawings.

[Krisidious]

My pleasure Fahmi. Welcome to the forum.

Hi! Interior design student here. Mostly work in Revit, but recently started to learn Sketchup through video tutorials for the past week. I been searching different resources to built up my design library (material, texture, etc)

So thank you for the scrapbook resource! Will definitely be useful for my future projects.

No problem Simon, welcome to the forum. Let us know if there is anything we can help with.

Thanks, what are some good tutorials for learning sketchup to do interior design projects?
Mostly construction and presentation documents (floorplan, elevations, etc)
It definitely seem easier to do them on revit, but I am not certain.
So far I'm finished watching "Sketchup 8 Essentials" on lynda.com
Planning to watch some rendering tutorials next maybe, but then again there is a bunch of different programs.

My main concern for my projects though is finding the components I want.

Well, there are literally tons of components in the world... Many, many places to find them... The component browsers in SU, here on Scf both in the forums and in the http://sketchucation.com/shop/models, and then there are tons of individual sites that serve up both free and paid components. The biggest issue will be figuring out if you can legally use them and determining the quality of the models. remember most any model can be converted and imported into sketchup.

As for videos I suggest watching all the Nick Sonder tuts on youtube.

somehow the scrapbooks that come with Layout have disappeared from my HD. I wonder if anyone could post them here for me.

I am also interested in scrapbooks with trees and the like. anyone has something like that to share?

thanks.

You can download or install the older versions and move them over Edson... If that's a hassle just send me your email addy and I'll upload them to a file for you.

thanks, kris. I just found them. it was a problem of resetting the Layout prefs and they reappeared.

[Krisidious]

Glad you got it figured out.

thanks Kris. A lot of nice work made available to others. I might find a fresh checklist helpful too. (BTW alarms are for CO, not CO2.)

[Krisidious]

I don't see that in mine... Is it in the gas sensor section? It was in the checklist. Nice catch pbacot. Fixed.
