I have tried this and it is great way to generate a presentation from the 3d drawings!

A simple but expresive enough technique. That was the first technique I learnt. Thanks, Dennis.

So, here are the step by step instructions for what became known as the “Dennis Method”
- We start by switching to the Hidden line mode and turning off your shadows. Make sure that your background is white.
- Line up a view that looks the best with these particular settings.
- Save the scene.
- Export the scene as .PNG file 4000 pixels wide. (.PNG files compress the SU graphics without loses).
Thankyou so much for sharing

It seems that links to the tutorial is lost or inaccessible to me.

With the advances in rendering and compositing DennisN's wonderful output can be produced in an image editor or in some cases even extensions
FluidRay's SketchFX is a good example...
SketchFX - SketchUp Artistic Rendering in 1-Click
SketchFX extends SketchUp capabilities with a complete set of compelling visual effects. No learning required.
Fluid Interactive (www.fluidinteractive.com)
It overlays your viewport in SketchUp with layer effects and the results are very impressive. Creating painterly type images is quite quick. Nothing can replace human handskill but this is a good alternative.

Rich, I use hand sketching neck by neck during the design process. By the way it seems that it is an obsolete skill in nowadays architectural universities...

Thank you everyone for stopping here to read about my little graphic trick.
My name is Dennis Nikolaev, I am a licensed architect, AIA member and a big fan of SketchUP.
Here is a quick and effective method of creating an artistic image from your SketchUP model. It was posted way back in 2005 on the original SU forum. The thread became so popular, it was active for over a year and a half and still could be found here
