In this class, students will learn how to start incorporating Layout into their CAD/SketchUp workflow. Layout is an included extension with the purchase of the modeling software SketchUp. Layouts' purpose is to enable making documentation from your models. These documents can be used for building, client presentation, and work collaboration.  From full home blueprints to simple project organization; builders, makers, and hobbyists of all skill levels can benefit from producing clear and precise project plans.
