Examples of great construction docs please?
-
Hi,
Hope you Layout experts can help me here: despite being a long time SU user, I've never done a great deal of work in Layout.
I'm going to be doing some contracting work for a new client, and part of my role will be implementing new working processes with the existing designers, who currently use a mixture of SU, AutoCad, Vectorworks, 3DSMax, etc, etc. I want to streamline things, and we have already agreed on a SU / Thea4SU workflow for modelling and rendering. Ideally I'd like to utilise Layout for our construction docs, with the view of keeping things as streamlined as possible.
To make my case as strongly as possible, I'd like to be able to show some examples of really great construction docs, produced in Layout - ideally combining plans/elevations and possibly perspective detail views.
I'm working in the exhibitions/events business, where typically our construction documents aren't as comprehensive as in architecture, but still need to accurately describe dimensions, materials, and construction methods.
Would any of you be able to share / point me in the direction of some examples of the best Layout work - can be from any field - architecture, joinery, etc. so that I can present these and make the case for a SU /Thea / Layout workflow?
Many thanks,
Andy

Try these...

Nick Sonder has a very good explanation of how he successfully uses SketchUp and Layout.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArDqVh5-BLA
Michael Brightman's 'Workflow for SketchUp' is also worth looking at...
he has a number of videos and an excellent book... -
Thanks TIG

I recommend Mike Brightman's TSWFA book.
