I used a SketchUp extension that I developed named Composition Guides which is FREE.
You can download it in my Extension Warehouse OR Gumroad
I also created a forum post explaining the extension features HERE
Here is the answer to your question…
Steps:
- Open Composition Guides after installing the SketchUp extension.
- Open de dropdown menu and select the option (1:1 - Square)
- Click the Plus Button (+) to create a SketchUp scene that will remember the viewport setting.
- Done!
Also, this can be achieved in other ways but I am just mentioning to you what I personally did. Cheers!
