Design Documentation & Presentation with LayOut - Workflow #3

Three workflow courses that take you from the start of a project to the end of a project. These are a "model along" style course, with an exercise file to start with and work through as you learn.

These courses are meant to be linear, taken in order (see the numbers after the title for the watch order). This will give you a good baseline workflow that you can tweak according to your needs and the needs of each project.

Design documentation and presentation is an important step in your SketchUp workflow. This can be done efficiently in LayOut (available with SketchUp Pro).

LayOut is a fantastic compliment to SketchUp. It acts as the "paper version" of your 3D model. It is used for documentation of drawings at all phases of the project.

In this course we will work through an exercise file together. Tammy will show you how to prep your SketchUp model, transfer it to LayOut, and set up each page to present to clients.
