New project, Advise on layout

sonder

Hi Sonder. I really like those elevations! How are you achieving the fog effect? Section planes?
Are you using hybrid or raster for sketchup views?

Thanks for sharing

The fog is in sketchup saved settings specific to the scene. I use raster rendering, edit quality low, export quality high.

Thanks Richard!

Here's some of the components used for furniture. I like them because they are very simple graphically.

Quick update.

I´ve sent dwg´s to consultants already. They were not the prettiest dwg´s I´ve seen, but they worked.

So far, layout has done it´s job perfectly well. That does not mean i´d like to see some improvements.

Mate these plans are stunning! Really GREAT WORK!

Mate the only thing that I wonder and would love to see a version of - without so much background! There is a relevant graphic term - "make white space your friend!".

Thanks guys! I´m now starting details, after that i will return to the main model and update/reference all the changes made.

Richard, I removed the sky from sections and elevations. I like them!

Yeah me too mate - just cleaner! And more ESD - less ink! We have to be mindful of contractors writing notes on the plan, often some printers add such gloss to printed areas that the surface doesn't take a pen well. Looks like you still have a background.

Hey you checked tones in greyscale as this is always 99% of printing throughout the job!

I did print some elevations in greyscale, to see how they looked. I had to increase contrast a bit. In color, they appeared ok, in bw they looked a bit washed out. Also, elevations looked great with shadows on; sections, I turned them off.

For BW increase brightness along with contrast at the printer level. I only print my color sets for the permit sets, 1 for the owner and 1 for the contractor. The rest are all BW and look really good with both fog and shadows on. Thankfully my printer has it down now, so I just send over the files and order at will. They are really good at making adjustments and testing before final printing.

Look after that one mate! My printer hands me stuff with huge lines across it smiles and hands me the bill!
