Using live files to guide discussions: Not all clients are 'visual' people, so opening their model and orbiting around their space in real time has been extremely helpful.

Having clear, appropriately-scaled drawings with dimensions or notations is a must, and we don't always have the time or budget to get an architect involved! Using a combination of SketchUp and LayOut, I can create a Design Intent Set, plans for permitting, a set for mechanical trades to mark-up, etc.

Creating professional design documents in LayOut: Projects of any scale need good documentation.

While hand-sketching and hand-drafting can be fairly quick, SketchUp allows me to quickly create 3D and 2D views of a detail or solution, change dimensions and materials in a flash, and show a client or installer the plan in minutes.

Quickly exploring solutions in 3D: We get a lot of 'what if' and 'what would that look like' questions.

Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM).

Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS).

Professional Employer Organizations (PEO).

When you restart SketchUp you may get an error message.

Find a description to set this for SketchUp below. If you have a dual setup with a video card and an integrated graphic chip set, your video card usually allows you to choose which of the two you want to use for globally and for each application. This will display a little window listing which video card or chip set is used.

To check that SketchUp uses your expensive video card instead of the integrated graphic chip set, click the Details (2) button.

In this window you can choose (depending on your video card) 0x 2x or 4x Anti-Aliasing. The quality willb e decided by the capacity of your graphics card (Graphics Card Details)Ĭlick on the menu Window > Preferences > OpenGL. Go to SketchUp > Preferences > OpenGL and choose at Multisample anti-aliasing the quality. This will be decided by the graphics card that SketchUp is using. The goal is to make our edges look more like this: Edges in SketchUp can look jagged sometimes, as the following (enlarged) image shows:
