4. Moving from Sketchup to layout

Continue with file from previous exercise

LayOut is an second program that comes with the SketchUp Pro License. The focus of LayOut is on 2d outputs from printing and PDFing. This function is built into many of the other CAD programs and is the major focus. SketchUp prioritises 3d conceptual drafting and LayOut’s 2d is a more rudimentary addition. That said there are still a lot of great things that can be done in LayOut and it is streamlined and intuitive like SketchUp.
