A scene is nothing more than a saved view of your drawing which preserves such things as the camera location (which angle you’re viewing from), hidden geometry, active layers, active section planes, etc. You start by creating scenes of your CabWriter design within the SketchUp environment, which we show you how to do in Part 2 of the tutorial series. As a bonus, you can mix both 2D and 3D views of your project on any page of your drawings, allowing you to communicate your design with the utmost flexibility and clarity. This includes custom title blocks, drawing symbols, dimensioning, hatching, call outs, printing to scale, section details, and much more. LayOut allows you to link to a SketchUp file, in this case a CabWriter design, and provides the capability to create shop drawings with all of the capability we would expect as professional cabinetmakers. All they offer is very limited dimensioning and printing capability the latter being very finicky to use and without the ability to use a title block.įortunately, SketchUp provides a companion application called LayOut that comes with the Pro version and is not available with SketchUp Make. Unfortunately, neither SketchUp Make, the free version, nor the Pro version of SketchUp offer native tools to create sophisticated shop drawings. So, we’ve created a four part video tutorial series to teach you how to do just that, which you can link to at the bottom of this article. One of the most common question’s we’re asked by professionals is how to create professional quality shop drawings from your CabWriter model.
