#SKETCHUP 2D UPDATE#
#SKETCHUP 2D UPGRADE#

Before this update, rendering a plan view with different line weights meant hiding a bunch of geometry, creating different scenes, and stacking viewports. WeвЂ™re happy to share that you can now control the line style of SketchUp tags in LayOut. The biggest lesson: it would be great if you didnвЂ™t have to stack performance-impacting viewports to get drawings to look the way you want. Over the years, weвЂ™ve also learned a lot about how LayOut users stacked viewports to create incredible 2D drawings.

Layout has been missing one big feature for professional drafting: full line control. NOW IT IS! LayoutД¬ontrol line width, colour, and pattern by tag in LayOut Why? Layout has allowed you to create amazing looking drawings for a while now вЂ“ but it was missing full line control/management to make it a serious contender for the ultimate 2D drafting tool.

However, this update is all about Layout вЂ“ and we are dancing on the roof. Select the edges you want to join, right-click and select Weld Edges. If you havenвЂ™t used a weld extension, we recommend starting to weld edges for any face where youвЂ™d like a smooth push/pull extrusion. This means you can join edges and arcs into a single polyline without installing an extension. We added вЂWeld EdgesвЂ™ to SketchUpвЂ™s native tools. Of course, you can still jump to a specific inference - red, green, blue, or magenta - using the arrow keys. You can turn off all inferences, or leave only parallel and perpendicular inferencing on. To address this, the Line tool now features a modifier key to toggle linear inferencing on and off, so you can draw edges without being snapped to an inference. For instance, if you are working with very small spaces or tracing images, weвЂ™ve heard from you that it would be helpful for inferencing to get out of the way. Linear inferencing makes SketchUp work, but it can also get in the way. One of the most distinct is the linear inferencing that allows you to snap or lock to the red, green, and blue axes. SketchUp inferencing comes in all shapes and sizes. Linear inference toggles for the Line tool in SketchUp LetвЂ™s take a closer look.Д«efore we jump into the Layout 2D changes, weвЂ™ll start with some cool new SketchUp features: SketchUp These enhancements focus in on a few long-standing user requests.
