You know how to use SketchUp to create 3D models of your projects, but you need to create a 2D presentation of your model in order to communicate your design to other people. With SketchUp Pro, you have the ultimate tool for creating just that; LayOut.
LayOut is the companion program that comes with SketchUp Pro. It takes your 3D model and creates 2D snapshots of your model and places them onto 'pages' so you can add dimensions, annotations, and other information in order to create a complete set of construction documents.
This course gives you a complete introduction to LayOut, teaching you all the basics you need to know in order to create a presentation of your model. In addition, you'll learn how to prepare your SketchUp model for LayOut. Have complete control over the look of you LayOut viewports by properly organizing your SketchUp model and creating scenes.

They put the sketch back in SketchUp, but the latest release by Google SketchUp comes bundle with Style Builder, a new tool that you can use to create your own customized sketchy-edge Styles. Before the magical journey begins, you are required to sketch a few lines onto a template (above) and feed the program with the data, it takes a couple of seconds for the software to analyze your strokes and when it is done, you can apply the new style to your models to make the 3d model appears as if it was hand-drawn by you. Come to think of it, where does the final output falls under, my own sketches or another computer generated sketches? Style Builder is a companion application for SketchUp pro version 6 only.
