Are you a SketchUp Online user looking to view your 2D designs? Look no further!
In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to view 2D in SketchUp Online. So let’s get started!
Step 1: Open Your Project
To begin, log in to your SketchUp Online account and open the project that contains the 2D design you want to view.
Step 2: Navigate to the “View” Menu
Once your project is open, locate the top menu bar. Click on the “View” option to reveal a dropdown menu.
TIP:
If you are having trouble finding the “View” option, look for an eye icon or use the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl + Alt + V”.
Step 3: Select “Top View”
In the “View” dropdown menu, hover over the “Standard Views” option. From here, select “Top View”. This action will adjust your perspective and display a bird’s-eye view of your design.
TIP:
If you prefer using keyboard shortcuts, press “T” on your keyboard for an instant switch to Top View.
Step 4: Adjust Zoom Level
Now that you are in Top View, you might want to adjust the zoom level for a better look at your 2D design. To zoom in or out, use either of these methods:
- Scroll Wheel: If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, simply scroll up or down to zoom in or out respectively.
- Zoom Tool: Located in the toolbar on the left side of the screen, the “Zoom” tool looks like a magnifying glass. Click and hold on this tool, then drag it up or down to zoom in or out.
Step 5: Pan Across the Design
If your 2D design extends beyond the visible area, you can pan across it to view different sections. To do this, use either of these methods:
- Hand Tool: Found in the toolbar alongside the “Zoom” tool, the “Hand” tool resembles a hand icon. Click and hold on this tool, then drag it in any direction to pan across your design.
- Arrow Keys: Alternatively, you can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move left, right, up, or down within your 2D design.
Step 6: Save and Share Your View
If you’re satisfied with how your 2D design looks in Top View, make sure to save your project. You can do this by clicking on “File” in the top menu bar and selecting “Save”.
Additionally, if you want to share your view with others, click on “File” again and choose “Export” or “Share”. Follow the prompts to save or share your 2D design as desired.
