Idea: Crayon Style

Jim · 5 Apr 2008, 13:27

I was surprised no one seems to have made a crayon style (that I could find.) I'm not really asking for one as I don't personally have a need for it. I just thought it would have been done already.

Oops, well it seems to have been included with SketchUp. Nevermind.

For some reason I was thinking I could pick a color, then draw the shapes. It doesn't work that way in SketchUp, does it?

Dont know if this was what you were asking for, Jim, but to create objects that seems to be painted with different colors, you can do this:

Turn on "Color by layer", face style "Hidden line" and line color "By material" in your standard crayon style, and get a result like the one attached. As far as I know, this works with all styles, and I have this as my default style when working on floor plans and such (though not crayon style ), and each type of object in a separate layer (chairs in one, tables in another and so on).
