AIA: LayOut is laid out for everyone to see

Sustainability Add comments
For a few years Google SketchUp have had a little program called LayOut ‘hidden’ as part of SketchUp Pro.

At the AIA exhibition in Miami LayOut was launched in full force. The SketchUp (SU for simplicity) booth was dedicated to LayOut and from what I saw the public loved it.

LayOut was originally a presentation tool for SketchUp. Late last year the SketchUp team announced LayOut 2.1 as part of SketchUp Pro 7.1. What excited the SU community was that dimensioning was added to LayOut and ‘shizam’ LayOut was a whole new proposition.

At the AIA booth there were lots of construction documents generated from LayOut. They looked very, very good.

You can find out more about LayOut (http://sketchup.google.com/product/layout.html) on the main Google SU website.

Alternatively there are a couple of YouTube videos that are worth viewing: an introduction and an explanation of the three principal reasons for using LayOut…



You can also go to the IES website for more information on the free IES SketchUp plug-in and ways get LayOut via discount on SketchUp Pro.

It is well worth a look.

    Wow! This really looks impressive. I can see why Google believes that they have an “indispensible tool”. These features are simply fantastic!
