This post is part of an <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/sketchup-guide-the-top-10-essential-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ongoing series<\/a> that will provide you with a closer look into its inner workings and teach you a few new tricks along the way so that you can maximize your efficiency and enjoy working in SketchUp.<\/p>\n<p>As creatives, we look for the best ways to convey our ideas to the world. Half the battle is the presentation of what we develop so that our idea isn\u2019t lost in the process. When it comes to rendering in SketchUp, you have to work within its parameters in order to present your ideas well. Let\u2019s go through the basic steps of how to export your images from SketchUp.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WfxVtHEbD5U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Setting Up Scenes<\/h2>\n<p>The first thing you need to understand are the views or what SketchUp calls \u2018Scenes.\u2019 Because SketchUp is inherently a one-window experience where you do everything from modeling to editing within a single viewport, Scenes allows you to save your position as well as other attributes so that you can return the camera to a fixed moment.<\/p>\n<p>Go to the Windows menu at the top of the program and select the Scenes tray. From here, you can set views using the \u201c+\u201d sign. The \u201c\u2013\u201d sign will allow you to delete Scenes. The rotational arrow symbol will allow you to update Scenes if you make any changes you wish to keep.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to think of these Scenes are as cameras you\u2019ve placed within the model space that will ultimately take the pictures of the model you\u2019re creating. It\u2019s important to set these up as early as possible in your process so that you can check back to them often and adjust the design to meet your intended affect.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Av5uwtQRxw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Using the Camera Tools<\/h2>\n<p>In order to develop a captivating scene, you need to use the camera tools that are at your disposal. Most views you\u2019ll see in renderings are taken from the first-person vantage point at eye level.<\/p>\n<p><b>Position Camera:<\/b> As such, we can start by using the \u201cPosition Camera\u201d tool. Use this by clicking the tool icon that looks like a little man standing over a pair of crosshairs. Next, click to a ground surface in your model where you anticipate the \u2018feet\u2019 of the person to go. SketchUp will fill in the blanks and automatically position the camera at that location, 5 feet 6 inches above the floor.<\/p>\n<p><b>Walk:<\/b> Next, you can move the camera around while maintaining that same eye level by using the Walk tool. Click the tool icon that looks like two feet. From there, click in the center of your view and drag the mouse around. You\u2019ll notice that the camera is moving forward along the path that you drag the cursor. The difference between this and a simple zoom is that the Walk tool keeps the camera\u2019s vertical position at the same height it started at. This is the closest way to experience your model from a person\u2019s vantage point.<\/p>\n<p><b>Look Around:<\/b> To further refine your view, you can use the Look Around tool. To activate it, click the icon that looks like an eye. To move the camera\u2019s view but maintain its position, click and drag the eye with the mouse. The camera will remain in a fixed location, simulating someone standing still but moving their head around to see.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W87ddUfNkXg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Refining the Image<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you understand the concept of Scenes and how to use the various camera tools, you can set a Scene that you like and begin to populate the image with other information.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve set your Scene, go to the Shadow Settings tray to add shadows to your view. Click the cube icon that has a shadow on it to toggle the shadows in your model on and off. You can use the tray\u2019s options to determine the exact day and time of year that you want the shadows to represent.<\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve established a setting that you\u2019re happy with, just go back to the Scenes tray and use the update toggle to make your settings permanently part of your view. Note: This will overwrite what you had before. If you don\u2019t want to overwrite the previous view, simply click the \u201c+\u201d again in order to set up a second view.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not atypical for a model to have a default view where all of the extra settings are turned off and a primary view where all presentation settings remain on. Working without a lot of the extra settings will help maintain a steady workflow and keep from overburdening your computer.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OlfVq-0BGUk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Exporting the Image<\/h2>\n<p>Now that everything is ready to go, let\u2019s export the final image.<\/p>\n<p>To start, go to File &gt; Export &gt; 2D Graphic. You\u2019ll see a typical save window popup. Choose the desired format and then click on the Options button next to the format toggle.<\/p>\n<p>By default, SketchUp will want to export your actual screen as is. What I would recommend instead is to use about a 4,000-pixel width while leaving the aspect ratio intact. In other words, only change the width and not the height so that the overall image doesn\u2019t stretch in unexpected ways. This way, you\u2019ll know that you\u2019re getting the same image that you settled on.<\/p>\n<p>After that, set the resolution to 300 pixels\/inch, always leave the Anti-alias box checked and make the quality toggle go as high as it will let you.<\/p>\n<p>Note that a few of these options may be different from one image format to the next. The main idea here, though, is to keep the aspect ratio the same while increasing the image quality so that your overall image maintains the qualities you desired while yielding the best product possible.<\/p>\n<p>The process is fairly straightforward from there. Click \u201cOK,\u201d then choose a name for the exported image and a location for where you want to save it to.<\/p>\n<h2>Present Your Work<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have an exported image, you could further explore your image options in postproduction with Adobe Photoshop, or you could present the image as it was exported from SketchUp.<\/p>\n<p>If you weren\u2019t happy with the final export from SketchUp, you can go back and adjust some settings on the fly and export it again. Sharing what you\u2019ve created with the world in a quick and efficient way \u2014 that\u2019s the simple beauty of SketchUp.<\/p>\n<p><b>Now, take it to the next level in postproduction:<\/b> Read Alex Hogrefe\u2019s guide \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/the-art-of-rendering-sketchup-model-photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Bring Your SketchUp Model to Life Using Nothing but Photoshop<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Check out the first two articles in our \u201cSketchUp Guide\u201d series here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/sketchup-guide-the-top-10-essential-tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Top 10 Essential Tools to Master in SketchUp First<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/sketchup-guide-3-modelling-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">3 Modeling Tips to Dramatically Save You Time<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Architizer\u2019s <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.architizer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tech Directory<\/a> <\/strong>is a database of tech tools for architects \u2014 from the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.architizer.com\/listing\/generative-design-ai-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">generative design and AI<\/a>\u00a0to <a href=\"https:\/\/tech.architizer.com\/listing\/rendering-and-visualization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rendering and visualization<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tech.architizer.com\/listing\/3d-modeling-software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D modeling<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tech.architizer.com\/listing\/project-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">project management<\/a> and many more. <strong>Explore the complete library of categories\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/tech.architizer.com\/listing\/categories\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i>This article originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evolvingarchitect.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Evolving Architect<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No plug-ins required.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":92,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"architizer_featured_type":"projects","architizer_featured_image":"1991098","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,2],"tags":[19],"architizer_project":[],"architizer_brand":[],"architizer_firm":[],"architizer_product":[],"class_list":["post-12689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-details","category-practice","tag-guide"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
