SketchUp LayOut

Eventually, some 3D models grow up to become professional 2D drawing sets. LayOut in SketchUp Pro helps you showcase your models and create drawings you’ll be proud of.

LayOut is used for generating presentation documents. With LayOut, you’re equipped for page design, drafting, vector illustration and slide presentations: everything you need to explain everything.

After you insert a SketchUp models into a LayOut document, you can design the document to highlight your 3D model’s best features. If you ever need to change or update your original SketchUp model, you can update the model in LayOut so that all the details are synched automatically.

Model and Document
With LayOut, insert SketchUp model views wherever you want in your document. These “viewports” are living, breathing views of your project. When your model changes, all of your viewports update too.

Make beautiful drawings
LayOut brings the “feel” of SketchUp into 2D space in an incomparably beautiful way. Line work, shadows, textures, text, dimensions, title blocks: all exactly the way you want.

Intuitive vector drawing
LayOut’s drawing tools are just like SketchUp’s: simple, smart, and fun. And everything you draw is vector smart, so scaling and rotating can be done with the utmost precision.

Dimension, detail, explain
Use dimensioning tools that snap to the edges of SketchUp models and quickly set the format, scale, and precision of displayed measurements
