I wanted to talk about a couple different ways you can display details in your layout documents. 1. The first way is obviously the easiest – simply create a 3D view of your detail, then import that viewport into Layout (Detail Credit – Metal Coping Detail by International Masonry Institute). One thing to note if you do this is that you can only set it to a scale if you turn your perspective view off. These details can actually be very helpful for contractors as they show/indicate in a 3D space how the assembly actually looks. 2. Option 2 – Model your detail in SketchUp, then create a 2D view and import into Layout. This works in a very similar manner to if you were to create a building elevation. Simply create your view, then save and create a workspace with your scene. 3. Option 3 – Draw your details directly in Layout. I find this option to be a bit clunky – I’m not a giant fan of the way things inference in Layout, but you can directly draw within a model in layout with the “Make Scaled Drawing” option. Simply select your scale and start drawing. 4. Option 4 – You can also adjust your details that you get out of SketchUp by drawing over them to allow for patterns, hatching, and other information. I’m also going to link to a couple videos from SketchUp and Nick Sonder where he talks about creating details.
