Hey Man, just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all of your content; almost everytime I google a problem, one of your tutorials pops up. They have been absolute life savers. Keep up the great work!
A simple way of getting walls to appear coloured in Layout (to show difference between new and existing construction for eg) is to just apply a colour to the inside face of the slab below the wall in Sketchup. If you are just showing a wall (and no slab) then just paint the inside of the base face of the wall.
Justin; Here is a question using layout. How can you apply a hatch pattern to a Pipe Section example 4" OD Pipe with .318" Wall Thickness. From what I can find the pattern on circles is the full circle only.
I guess it all depends on what your client wants or whom your drawing for. i have done just straight up 2D drawings in SUpro from top down. Then i can just use the paint bucket to do hatch patterns. Only downfall, if someone wants 3D renders of the space you are creating for them, then aforementioned will not work haha. Luckily with 2018, we can at least set a fill color
Wow, I didn't know hown many ways there are :) Thank You again! And just a small question. How is the first way profitable in the case of not a large models based on your experience, cause I think my model shouldn't change so often. Or does you recommend to use the model related way initially regardless the model? Thanks a lot once again
To avoid the image moving when duplicating it, select the image, copy then paste and it will duplicate on top, then assign the new one to a different layer. If you just select duplicate it will always offset the image.
Hi, Your videos are really helpful. I tried to use this hatch method and one think I notice is that the background of the hatch is not transparent in Layout. This will be an issue if we want to have more than one hatch pattern in a drawing, e.g. one pattern for brick wall and another for structural wall.
I guess that hatch isn't a good option because it works only if you have one material. Most I have 4 or 5 differnet materials on a model. There must be an better option to make this efficent. In Version 2018 you must adjust section fill off. Why isnt there an option like in other CAD programm. If I define a wall from wood or brick it must show me the hatch in sketchup as well as in layout.
Are you talking about having different kinds of walls made of different materials? Likely what you'd have to do in that case is just group them differently (group for masonry, group for drywall, etc), then you could create your hatch with the watermark method and bring the different wall materials in as different layers. You might also be able to use this extension to get what you're looking for - th-cam.com/video/Q9jFZiPModc/w-d-xo.html - sorry I don't have more info for you - thanks!
I'm trying to do something different and follow entirely The Sketchup Workflow for Architecture by Mike Brightman and that video: th-cam.com/video/drjxp6LgJgI/w-d-xo.html However, when I render Light view as Hybrid i still see the background which I don't want to see. Brightman's background is transparent so he basically has no background (7:36). I suppose it might me something messed up with layers or styles but I have no clue where to exactly look for that...
Hi Arek - I talked about that a bit in this video - th-cam.com/video/aXS7D6lqusk/w-d-xo.html - about 17:40 - you need to make sure to uncheck the box for "Backgrounds" in the styles section in Layout - does that help? Thanks!
TheSketchUpEssentials yeah, I asked my question a couple of hours before you uploaded that layout tutorial :) But thank you anyway for your reply, you take real care of your subscribers! you're the man, Justin! By the way, I have some other questions about layout and what is obvious, there will be more of them as I keep exploring it. Is there anyway chance to contact you directly? email preferably, or facebook or even patreon? Who knows, maybe these questions will inspire you to create some videos so that more people could benefit from it :)

Your tutorials helps me a lot in my presentations. Thanks man. Godspeed to you.
Thanks very much - glad you're finding them helpful!

Thats great ,how do you change the color of the hatch pattern, in can change the bounding box but not the pattern inside?????
This was a great video. I will be applying these techniques asap! Thanks again.
Thanks Charles! Glad you liked it!

Yeah that's what I recommend in my newer Layout tutorials - this one's pretty old

The hatch only loads on a raster layer, so that needs to be your base layer that you stack lines on top of
is it too much to ask to just have a bucket function which also dynamicly updates with you model, i guess yes 😢
Excellent
Thanks for watching!
Neat! great one...
Hi Oscar - thanks a lot!
The back of the wall is not the bottom of the wall.
Hmmm...accurate statement - it's actually applied to the plane at the bottom of the wall - poor word choice on my part
@@Thesketchupessentials nice videos!

Email is fine, Patreon works too. Feel free to send over what you've got - worst case, I'll just tell you I don't know :p Thanks!
Wwhhatts up guys.. so annoying. Very good otherwise.
Well...I suppose it is what it is :)
