Hey guys, welcome back. In this video,
I'll show you how to import your SketchUp model
into layout and then get started with the drawings.
There's two main ways to
import your model into sketch out the best
way is by simply going to
file and clicking on sand to layout.
And then this would open layout and then place
your model automatically within layout as well.
So this is the best way for you
to bring your modelling to layout.
Then once it opens layout,
you can select your template as well.
As you can see in the previous video,
we created our own template.
So let's go to my template
and click on drafting template plane.
And now you can see that we've bought
in to sketch out view into layout,
and it's placed the moderate perfectly as well.
The other way to bring in your model is by going to
File and then clicking on Insert.
And then make sure you change the file type or SketchUp.
Select your sketch our file and then click on Open.
And that would open
the sketch modeling to layout as well.
Now, one important tip that I would give you
is do not make any sort of dimensions in SketchUp.
You can make all the dimensions in layout.
And also make sure you save
the file with a single filename,
which we're going to use a layout.
In my case, I've called it send to layout master file.
So you can notice that I made
a mistake while naming the file,
so I will have to rename this file.
You will also see how renaming this phi will
have an effect on layout.
I'm going to quickly close this file,
renamed the file, and then open it up.
And also see how renaming a file,
the main master file,
has an effect on layout.
Now you can see on layout that
the file is being read from
a filename called sent to layout
underscore master file with the WE.
But we need to relink it back to
the file which we've just renamed.
What we need to do is click on this link
here and go to our main file,
which is sent to layout master file,
rename category as well.
And then click on Open.
Now you can see that it's reading from both cardiac file.
Make sure you SketchUp
file that you're using in layout is the correct file.
And also if you make any changes to this file,
it would start updating and layout automatically.
Now for example, if I make a
rectangular just to show you how it changes in load.
So I made a rectangular room and
then I go to File and click on Save.
Now if I go back to Layout,
you can select layout and then click
on this Update button.
You can see that the box appears.
That's something which you need to keep in mind,
is that this fight will be used
throughout the entire drawing phase of the project.
And it's super important that
you maintain this filename as well.
Now if you can guess, you need to make a copy of
this file and keep various past versions.
You can simply go to File and click on save as copy
as you can see that it CSS file one.
And if I click on Save,
gonna retain those are
general file images and do layout master file.
That's a quick dip in case you want to keep versions of
your filing because sometimes the main file crashes
and throws a boxplot Darrow.
It's a good idea to keep
versions of your SketchUp file is wet.
So now I can delete this box because I don't need that.
And then see if adult so Control S to save.
Then I can minimize this.
And then I can select the model
on the view port IO and then click on update.
And then the box goes away. That's all you have to do.
And then we can save this layout file as well.
So let's go to File Save.
So there's the first time I'm saving this file.
We're going to call this exercise the lesson names.
So S2 layout finish.
That's how simple it is
to bring your modelling to layout.
