Hey guys, welcome back. In this video,
I'll show you how to set up the template
and layout for SketchUp.
So to get started, I'm going to
open layout so you can just
search for Leo 2021 and open it up.
It comes with the SketchUp Pro version
installed into your system.
Let's allowed for SketchUp also comes with
different templates and you
can choose your own template as well.
So let's click on More templates.
We can select no plain paper for now.
You can see that there is no a11, a22 sales.
So we will create that size in load for SketchUp.
So let's start off by selecting A3 landscape.
The first thing what I'm gonna do is
change the layout to A1 size,
which is finite, the four by 841 MM.
Most architectural forms and interior design
firms use A1 or even easier to sometimes.
But in most firms they use A12 print drawings and mode.
The first thing what you need to do is go to
File and click on Document Setup.
Then you need to go to paper.
Then you can change the size of your beach.
You can see that it comes with A1 and easy to say yes.
Or you can also create
your custom size by giving the height and width.
Since in the eye
can see here what I'm going to select A1.
That's fine. 94 by 841 limit.
I'd also like to see the margins in my layout,
so I'm gonna select Margins.
I'm going to change the color of my margin,
so I'm just gonna make it dark gray.
And it's skipped that dynamic from DOT borders.
So you can see that we have this nice clean margin.
Leonato SketchUp.
Let's click on Close. All we need for the layout.
Now I show you the various tools that comes in layout.
So we have the basic tools which is lying,
arc, rectangle, circle, polygon and so on.
They also have the dimensioning tools, for example,
text enabled dimension, for
dimension views the shortcut D.
So that would switch the dimension tool.
And then of course the spacebar for the select tool.
We also have table, what we hardly use
table sometimes when you
want to clear scheduled and so on.
Then we have it is to add a stuff in layout.
Then we also have stateless,
which simply samples are certain style and
then it helps you apply it on
other new objects or dimensions and so on.
Split and join refers to lines
which you would like to sort of joined together.
So for example, if I draw a line this way,
then I click on Split.
Then I can split the line at various junctures.
And I can also join them by clicking on the join tool.
And then joining them together.
You can see that becomes is one thing.
Then of course you can add
different pages and not to view.
Start our presentation, diversity within layout.
All right, so first thing, what do you need to
do is check the shape style.
You'll find it in the default under color.
So we actually have style. Now if you don't find it here,
you can go to Windows and you'll find
all these options here.
You need to switch them on in
the show up in the default view.
So for the shapes that we can use, the default settings,
which is stroke 0.5 dashes, which is a solid line.
We can obviously change this later
if we need to change it to a dashed line and so on.
Destruct style is for various around corners and so on.
But I hardly use this in my drawings.
And then we have the leader lines,
which is the start and end arrow.
We can give an arrow for the Start arrow.
So for example, if I go to my label,
now you can see that we have an arrow there.
If it is a straight line that goes away.
So make sure you give an arrow
and we can give the size of the arrow.
We can keep it to a board.
This works well. A1c sheets.
And we can also change the size of the text.
So you can go to style.
And we can change it to switch to 721 BD,
which is generally used in most architectural forms.
And it's like a standard as well.
So it was changed the size to maybe
14. That should suffice.
Also, I will be changing
the end arrow and keep it to the plane.
The next time you select label,
you can see that though options change.
We can then look at our regular textile as well.
So let's go back to the Select tool.
Let's go to textile mill and make
sure to select this 721 BD.
You can go ahead and select any other forms as well.
But in my case I'll be using 721 BT,
and I'm also gonna select the size of 14.
So now if I draw text,
you can select the text Julio.
You can just give a random index.
Then this looks gonna be
the size which will come as default.
It'll always read from
the last setting that you made for your text.
Agreed.
Now these exercises is small
because the sheet of course is big.
Susan a onesies.
And when you put in date, it will be
readable and works well for the drawing as well.
Next is dimension, so we can select the dimension.
Now, before you click and create a dimension,
you need a change and settings first,
because after you click
and then select this and change it,
it would apply those settings only for this dimension.
So make sure you select,
activate the dimension tool
and then you make the changes yet,
the next time you create a dimension,
it would read from these headings.
The first thing what I need to do is change the stroke.
I'm going to keep it to 0.1.
And I'm also going to change the star data architecture.
Standard dash line there.
We have proper name,
slash, which is standard for most architectural drawings.
And we can also change the size to five points.
Five points. Now we can go to dimension style.
We can change the position of
labeled on the dimension so we can change the center.
And even for the angular dimension,
we can keep it a horizontal.
Then we can go to our scale,
and we can keep the length millimeters.
We can also keep the position one MM.
We don't need to cool bind 0 because one MM
books in most cases and you can go up to
a thousand and two thousand and ten
thousand, eight hundred and so on.
These are settings that we need.
So now if I create my damage and
you can see how it comes, becomes pretty neat.
And now if I go back to
my Settings and click on dimension again,
it will read from the previous settings
that we made changes to.
And then it'll create your dimensions.
Now if you don't want to display a unit,
you can disable display units.
So the next time you create
your dimensionally it comes with other units.
Let's keep the units on because it helps us confusion.
Know if I draw the dimension again,
it comes with the units.
You can also of course changes, takes time.
But in our case, we
are going to be using the sues 721 BP.
Next is that angular dimension.
So you can click on the top Danio and click on Angular.
Now we can change the stroke to 0.1.
We can keep the start at o and narrow
as the default error than G In the size of your grade.
So maybe to five or even four.
And then we can go to dimension style,
make sure you keep it in the center horizontally.
Finally, we can check our textile as well,
which is 21 BD.
Now if I create and aggregate this way,
you can see that we have a nice proper angular dimension.
These are the default settings that we can use.
Now before I go ahead and save this template,
I just want to quickly show you that.
For example, if I'm creating a dimension,
let's say I create a dimension.
Let's go back to the linear dimension.
This is the dimension that I created.
And if I select this dimension,
Let's see, I changed the values here.
Let's keep the sea 1515.
Now this would affect or lead this dimension.
So the next time I create a nitrogen,
it wouldn't read from those
damaging lead from the default.
If you want to change the default,
all you need to do is select the dimension,
change the values here first,
and then create the dimension.
Select the dimension tool.
Change the values here first
and then create the damage it.
So now if I change this, say for example,
2.8 again,
and then I create
my damage and you can see it comes as thick.
And the next time I create a dimension,
it's gonna read from that.
Simply select the dimension,
change the value your first,
then create your empty.
The next time you create a new damage,
it will always read from the default settings.
I hope that made sense.
Let's now we can see it this out as a template.
I'm going to delete all of these because
I don't need them to show up in my template.
Now if we're gonna be using
differentiates for your company,
you can go ahead and create those sheets here this way.
Like so and then add your text and so on.
So this way you don't have to keep adding them next time.
But since we are going to be using a plain template,
this should be fine as well.
Let's go to File, click on Save as Template.
I'm going to call this drafting template plane.
And then select my Templates and click on. Okay.
So the next time you open layout,
which is going to closely out for null violates it.
You can see that in PHOs appeal,
if you want the temporary show up as if as a favorite,
you can simply hot it and then it
would show up in the stock of your scene.
Click on drafting template plane,
and we have our proper A1C is temporary.
It also makes sense to add those size of
the beach in your template name.
On the next video, I'll show you how to insert
a SketchUp model into layout.
Then start setting up our drawings. You guys next video.
