Hey guys, In this video I'm gonna show you how to use
the text tool in layout for SketchUp.
So back to the text tool.
You can either press D on your keyboard,
which is the shortcut for decks
with dissimilar to sketch up as well.
You can click on the Text tool.
Now you can just simply click
and then start typing in your decks.
For this case it's gonna be furniture, layout plan.
Then click on the SEC Julia.
Now if you want to increase the size,
you can select the text and go to your text failure.
Then we can start increasing the sizes. Make it bold.
You can leave the font to suicide and 21 BP.
And that's how you create your text.
Now the next time you create a text,
so I'm going to press D again.
You can see that it goes back to that original text.
Says, if you want to change
the default exercise so that the next time you create
a text reads from the default exercise,
you will have to change the settings first
and then create a text box.
I'm going to click on the texture
and I'm going to change the settings.
I'm going to keep it around.
Let's check what are the size of this.
So this is at 28 bold.
I'm just going to go back to text.
Select 28 bold.
And now if I create a text,
you can see that it comes in properly section A-A.
Then if I create again,
so let's click Once.
You can see that you can create that text again.
There's another different type of
text which is the bounding box deck.
So if I click on Next and click and drag,
and I've created a bounding box.
This is simply a bounding box.
Now if I click onto the Select tool,
you can see that it's within that box.
And if I drag this
would be limited within the bounding box.
Now if you do not want a bounding box,
or you can do is right-click and click on Make unbounded.
This way, the box will adapt to how you type.
If I type the type and the more I say the box,
the bounding box with.
Now if I go back to the Select tool,
you can see that the boundary box adapts to that text.
That's the bounding box.
Now there are few options for the text as well.
So if I select the sticks,
you can see that we can align
it to the left, right, and center.
So you want to see how would align them?
I'm just going to make this bounding box we go.
Now if I click on the middle,
it's going to align in the middle.
I click on that date.
It's going to align to the right.
And if I click to the left,
it aligns to the left.
Phase, make it big, sort of down.
You can also anchor the sticks
to the top, middle, or bottom.
So you can select the ANC option,
yachts ankle Center, Anchor, bottom, anchor dot.
We keep it to the center,
bring it back and align it to the left for now.
Then another cool feature of
the text tool is sort of aligning
all these texts together so you can
select all of these decks.
And then you can right-click, click on Align.
Click on horizontally.
Now we do Elaine horizontally.
You can also align it vertically.
Now for example, if I drag this here,
if I pull this press
Control macro copy and drag this year,
I made a copy of that again,
this called the section CC.
Now I can select these two texts and then right-click,
click on Align, Left.
Now you can see that text LANs perfectly below
that text can delete this texture.
Now let's say for example, you want to create
a superscript for whatever reason,
I'm going to enter this group.
I'm going to give an example here.
So this is to know if
you want to create this as a superscript,
you can simply select the x86,
go to Text, baseline,
and click on superscript.
That would be a DOT superscript for
you in case you want to mention the meters,
square meters, and so on.
You can also sample text.
Now for example, if I make the sticks bigger or smaller,
so to 20 maybe.
Now if you want to sample this text,
what you can do is let's click out,
click on the style icon,
select the text you want to sample
and then apply it on these texts.
Let's press undo because I want the text bigger and says,
let's copy this to the bottom.
And you can also control C,
control V, and then move it down.
That's another way. Let's align
this and select all of this right-click,
align and click on horizontal.
And let's call this DD.
This is gonna be actually my right.
I didn't either double-click to enter
the group and then select the text and change the name.
Let's call this ACP reflected ceiling plan.
One last thing what I need to do
is I need to assign these texts to hepatic layer.
I'm going to select the text,
go to right-click, move to layer,
and click on furniture plan.
So now if I go to Layers and switch off furniture plan,
you can see that it hides with the text.
Similarly, this text is like click multi-layer ACP.
Now, if you can see that I can hide each of
these layers and it hides with the text as well.
So it's very important that you draw
the text in the right layer,
or if we've drawn it in the right layer,
you can also move it to that layer.
When we draw our dimensions,
I'm gonna be changing the layer to
the calculator and then draw my damages.
The next video I'm gonna show you how to use
the dimensions and then add
some dimensions and also
some additions to our dr. In the next video.
