This manual is the first of four which delivers the know-how to produce full construction drawings in SketchUp Pro. However, the means of achieving 2D construction data from a SketchUp model has not been made clear- until now. No longer do drawings need to be manually coordinated, nor do elevations ever need to be drawn: The model takes care of all these things.įor the first time the computer can really deliver on the promise of an efficient drawing tool by distilling 2D construction information from a fully coordinated accurate 3D model. This allows the practitioner to view all the pertinent project information in a single window.
However, the new 3D paradigm is where a model contains all the information in one entity. Widescreen 22" PC monitor by STONEFREESome would argue that this has created a decline of standards of design and construction. The computer screen did away with this ability to assess drawings globally, instead providing merely an isolated view of a single drawing at a time. For all it's clumsiness, the drawing board provided the space for a quick overview of all the drawings together in context.
