Hi Justin, huge fan of your SU/Enscape/LayOut video's, they're very helpfull! A question, hope you can help me out: in the model of this video every storey is on a different group, that makes it easy to 3D model. But in LayOut you actually don't want those separation lines, the facade should be one smooth face. Is there a way in LayOut where you can quickly hide those lines? I work in very complex architectural models, so hiding all those lines in the scenes in SU isn't the best way. Hope you can help! :) Greetings from The Netherlands

its nice, but i thought there is a new thing to do regarding import a model, specially a long span loading from SU to Layout, it's also the same thing, but it really helps a lot for beginners, thank you, i hope you have more layout tips, specially using photoshop as third software for Layout, Thank you God Bless Keep it Up and Keep safe

Hi Justin, quick question. Is there any video related to export Layout plans to dwg and its issues? Thanks for the answer :)

Hi Justin, thanks for your video ... question .... when sending a drawing to layout (I have many viewports to place in a set up document), how do I send it to a template that is already created? I'm having to copy & paste them every time & it's time consuming. I know there is a better way. Any ideas please?

Hi, thank you for making sketchup video tutorials. i have a question though, , , I'm wondering if you have used a command or shortcut when grouping surfaces without including other surfaces. ? "coz it seems so easy for you to highlight and group stuffs. i actually spend much time clicking surfaces one by one when grouping.

Hi Justin, the thing that I'm struggling with is to create Layout files with multiple pages. I'm an architect doing residential projects and need to create drawing sets made up of several sheets - each sheet derived from a separate Sketchup model. Is this covered in an existing video?

[rafaelmendoza]

hello justin I see all your videos I am subscribed to your channel, I do not speak English I am Venezuelan I have always been able to activate the subtitles to learn from your videos, but this one in particular tells me that the subtitles are not active and that they must be activated from the owner edl account of the account, I wanted to know if you can please activate them to be able to translate them and continue learning, thank you very much in advance
