Creating 2D drawings

SketchUp

HI Guys

this might sound like a silly question and i hope it is an easy thing to solve.

So i created a model in SU and now i want to create a flat ‘cutting’ plan (this is for a timber item)

is there a simple way to automatically create the flat 2d drawings from a SU model ??

You can get cross-sections of your models using the ‘Section Plane’ Tool.

Here’s a sample of what’s possible…

Hi Adrian, Just go to Camera>standard views and this will give you the correct view to print.

You can print orthogonal views of the model to scale using SketchUp’s native print function.

SketchUp Pro includes the LayOut application which provides professionals with more advanced print options.

Adrian,

We created a plugin to create 2d drawings from you SketchUp models. Take a look at Skalp for SketchUp (www.skalp4sketchup.com)
