      Is there a way to create a plane in SketchUp and then use that plane to sketch on?

          Are you referring to a ruby script or is there a 2D tools in the SketchUp?

            Nice boats.

            Is TIG's cool stuff meeting your needs? Skip this message.

            Do you just want a QD whiteboard?

            Easiest: Rectangle a long-enough but thin whiteboard base along the red axis. Bucket with white color. PushPull up to high enough. Save as "wbr.skp" (whiteboard, red). Ditto on green axis. Save as "wbg.skp."

            When you need one, File/Import... it. File/Import turns the imported geometry into a component. Yours would be named "wbr" or "wbg". When you draw on a component, your drawing does not merge with the component.

            If you find software that will take a set of lines and fair them, please share!

              2D Tools is a set of Tools added to the Draw Menu by my Ruby scripts - it mimics most of the 3D tools constrained onto a selected 2D z-plane...

              There are also the separate Tools on Surface - which mimic many drawing tools onto 3D curved surfaces...
