Draw a plan from a picture
-
Hi guys, i'm new in this forum
So, i'm looking for a help about drawing a plan from a picture.
Let me explain this. First at all, i'm new in a company and i have to make order form for customers.
To simplify the product, my employer tell me to draw a plan for each product.
Here I have an example and I want to know how hard it will be and how can I do this ? Is there any tutorial for that ?Ty very much for your help.

Hi Patrick !
If you know sketchup this is perhaps an easy deal(1 hour work), but if you don't it is harder.
I would advice you to take a look at the youtube sketchup tools tutorials.
When you know to use them, then perhaps it would be easier for you to use the Photomatch technique.
Then if your products are kind of the same but different sizes and configurations I would make use of components: legs, fire eyes, taps, handles etc.
At the end you will select a style that looks like a drawing/sketch and choose a view that suits you best. -
Hi Elisei, I've just downloaded sketchup so i don't really know how it works.
The products that I have to draw are all of this kind.
Do u have an appropriate link for my case ?
And whitch model should i choose at the start ? -
I don't know if there is a video explaining exactly what you need but you can try searching sketchup and see what draws your attention.
For example..

You can use the photomatch function for this (model attached), but if you have some dimensions, you might be faster drawing them from scratch with the basic SketchUp tools...
