      Mates,
      Happy Nowruz, Here we are celebrating Nowruz (the spring season celebration). I hope you are doing well and healthy.
      the day before I gave LO a try and it is an amazing tool IMO (while has its own deficiencies).
      Here is what I am preparing...
      Do you think it worths continuing?

        Hi Majid,

        Since you asked for my feedback, I'll put it here.

        Those figures look quite good. I don't know how useful they'll be in LayOut. I rarely use human figures in my projects but if I were to do that, I would likely add them in SketchUp instead of LayOut. That would make them easier to manage relative to the model as far as size and position is concerned. It would also let them work correctly in perspective views of the model.

        If you do continue with them in LayOut, I would recommend that you make them as scaled drawings. That would allow the user to match the scale of the figures to the scale of the model viewport.

          Thank you dave for your kind and prompt reply. I am doing them on the right scale and think will prepare another SketchUp set later, maybe more artistic... maybe using watercolor...
          the only privilege of the LO is the fact that lines are very fine and curvey .. as in the detail below.


          Scaled

            They would be more flexible and appeal to more users if you make them as scaled drawings in LayOut. Then you only need one of each which will save you a lot of work.

              Hi Majid, they are really cool, and remind me of Delius work. Do you know it ?

                Cool pieces of advice, thank you.
                @Moujiik: No, this was the first time I encounter his works. Thanks for the introduction.
                In fact, I started from people set of LO scrapbook and replaced them with my own... So the scale is right and transparency, etc are the same as the default ones.

                  Always handy to have some scaled figures. I think they'd be fine in LayOut too. Figures that are up to date, nice graphic quality (not distracting) for scale in your basic presentations. Casual persons, like the plaid shirt guy are good. Often scale figures offered are all business, city, and street people. Someone simply standing in casual clothes is good for interiors and residential scenes.
                  Happy Nowruz!

                      Great drawings! Very much professional mid-century feel!

                      Another thing that is often sought today is diversity in the subjects.
