How do I make SketchUp turn a 3D model into a three-view drawing (front, right, and top)?

Answer 1

1. If you don't have your VIEWS toolbar, right click on any toolbar and check VIEWS on
2. Use the TOP, FRONT and RIGHT/LEFT house icons in your VIEW toolbar
3. Pan to center your model
4. Save each view by creating a SCENE
5. If your DEFAULT TRAY isn't open, got to WINDOWS, DEFAULT TRAY, SHOW TRAY
6. When you have the view you want, go to SCENES in your DEFAULT TRAY
7. Click the PLUS sign to save each scene
8. Rename each SCENE at the bottom of the SCENES drop down
9. If you want a SECTION CUT or FLOOR PLAN view, go to your first scene..
10. Go to TOOLS, SECTION PLANE, and attach your section plane to the wall/ceiling you want to make a cut through
11. Right click on that scene name and select UPDATE
12. If your model is filled in BLACK, go to VIEW and un-check SECTION FILL

Please let me know if you'd like further assistance in creating floor plans, sections cuts, and elevations.
