We use Layout extensively. I have similar templates set up. Very underrated program. That being said there is still a bunch of improvements that I hope happens:
1. Snapping improvements (although moving node is great!).
2. Sketchup (SU) like inference for drawing lines (LO is subtly different).
3. Components like SU.
4. Fillet, Extend and Trim like Autocad.
5. Vector hatches - the ability to change line weights of lines in hatches.
6. The ability to scale line weights universally inside groups by a single factor.
7. Add multileader notes.
8. The ability to set the horizontal length of a note leader’s as standard & to stay when moving.
9. Editing notes/leaders is not as intuitive as most other things in SU & LO. (To be fair, this is a problem in all software programs I’ve ever used)
10. Improve printer drivers
11. Shape/fill/stroke selection refinement in terms of clarity in which you are editing.
12. File size reduction and/or ease in subdividing drawings into separate files.
13. The ability to turn on/off auto gluing to the ends of lines (without making group or locking or similar work around.).
14. Flexibility to apply lines (& line-weights) only to selected edges of a fill. I.e. multiple sides without strokes
15. Native Section Cut hatches by material (maybe back-face toggle on/off for material as well) as part of SU but live & editable in LO.
16. Custom Style folder location does not show in Style within the SketchUp Model Tray in LO.
17. A cloud/revision line within Layout. Maybe even a Revision management system.
18. LO plugins.
19. Paste in Place or paste attach to cursor
20. When you right click a scene in LO to open in SU, it should open to that scene.
21. Color by Layer in LO (Similar to Color by Tag in SU)
22. Layout Warehouse (like SU Model) especially for Scrapbook details.
23. Browser type navigation inside pattern selection window.
24. Stop the incessant signing in.
25. Ortho on and off (F8)
26. The ability to control dash start position
Epic feedback dude👍🏻
We have single page templates in Layout but using multiple pages in the template is a really useful concept that I haven't considered before. I'm definitely going to set these up for our company templates in Layout. Thanks for the lesson.
Loving these Layout tips Eric please keep 'em coming Sir.
Autotext was my saving grace before search and replace was available. I create tags , , etc. This way I can align with floor lines, top plates etc. and if we make a change (9' ceiling to 10' ceiling) I can edit in the autotext and not retype each one...
Eric, you're a real nerd!
Very great tips
I wish I have 1/10 of your organizing skills
Great tips once again Eric. Keep them coming
Thanks for sharing your context for what you doing and how that contributes what you are trying to do. People need to understand there is no cookie cutter solution for every goal/situation and every individual needs to apply problem solving for their situation and then see what tools available or creatable best fit at that time.
Very valuable tutorial!
thank you a wonderful tutorial. Hey is there an efficient way to setup detail sheets similarly that can also provide for details at multiple scales?
Details are tricky to automate. Check out Nick Sonder's work. He does amazing things with his details/ process
Is there somewhere where I can download this template?
This is very helpful Eric! I've been using sketchup pro for many years now and did not know you could do this functionality between layout and sketchup templates. My one thing I don't understand is when you have your placeholder model in sketchup, then you bring in or import your new model to replace the placeholder model, then delete the placeholder model and then save the template - your template with the placeholder model won't exist anymore. Am I missing something?
I figured out the answer to my question! Thank you again Eric for this great tip!
Good you figured it out. You are right that saving the SU template replaces the placeholder geometry...the better way to do it is do a 'save as' and relink to that new file in LO. Cheers. @@jpsc54
How to make quick annotation in layout? Please
What kind of annotation?...there are dimensions, labels, etc
