ReMark Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 This sounds like a question best answered by going to SketchUp Help. Take a look at this: http://sketchup.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=36220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I cannot advise you regarding SketchUp as I only dabbled in it myself. Are you using the free version or the Pro version? No matter which one I would suggest buying the book Google SketchUp by Bonnie Roskers, P.E. It is actually a two volume set consisting of Basic and Advanced Tutorials. It also covers the Windows and Mac OSX. I've got version 6 on my shelf. Unfortunately I've been too preoccupied to really delve into it. By the way, the books cover both the free and Pro versions of the software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f700es Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well Shibu, I usually bring my cleaned up flooplan and elevation into SketchUp and then put each one on it's own layer. I then the elvations up around the plan so I have them as my reference images. Like this.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
