Hi everyone! Let me know if you have questions about anything I talked about in the comments below! :)

[elisabethpusta]

omg!!!! position camera! Where have you been all my life?!!!! Thank you for showing me this! I've been using the annoying sections cuts and it always takes forever to clear them when you make a new scene/elevation! this is awesome!

[rennychristophertumwesigye]

It’s great that you are creating content that makes is possible for sketchup fans to perform and execute their work flow from start (design generation) to finish (drawing documents) in just sketchup. 😊thanks❤

What about the lineweights on the floor plan? this is the essential part for working drawings

[susel_vazquez_acuna]

Question, is it better to put the dimension lines in Layout or in SketchUp and then modify them with the style? Thanks 🙏🏼

[aguslatif]

Thank you for the great tutorial, as always, but I want to ask what is the advantage of using the position camera tool to section tool on making sections drawings on the model. Does it make the file size smaller and more manageable?

[leandrotandoc]

thanks, learn a lot from your videos.

[cosahthabang]

[jorgeazuz]

[sarahsulai]

[Datwyne]

Please I need more showing how to include grid lines especially for full dimensionig since it's working drawing.

[tuktuk]

Do you have any full tutorial on creating a 2D floor plan in Sketchup first?

[Lordaniel]

Hi Justin, in Layout - is it possible to customize the toolbar along the top of the page - the default is very basic. I'd like to add icons for Undo/Redo, Pan, Copy, Paste, Bring Forward, Send Back, Area, Volume etc etc

[pierg]

Great video, great tips ! thx !
Is auto text fot scale possible ? I mean if i change the "Sketchup Model" scale, is the auto text change the value ?

[jesus-ncl]

hi, I started with SketchUp and I like it, but when I draw something there, then I export it to 3ds max, it's crazy big... please tell me how to balance it so that I have the same SketchUp/3ds max dimensions.. thank you, hello

[Coffeafdoom]

I cant find in my scrapbook those TB templates, is that something you have to download?

[dayagjanekimberlyl.]

how about if its hard to move the lines, measures etc?

[sketchupapp]

Nice man，I love the way you generate elevations😍

[jeremiegascon]

[renderwitch]

I have problem with changing from RASTER to VECTOR in layout. Do you know why? My view is disturbing when switching this option....
