About the video: Trace the overall plan
Overview
“Now that you have the necessary references, you are going to start tracing the overall plan. To do this, you are going to create a series of layers for the different elements that will be represented in the plans.”
In this video lesson Bruno Arancibia addresses the topic: Trace the overall plan, which is part of the Domestika online course: Drawing and Modeling Urban Spaces with AutoCAD and SketchUp. Learn to create three-dimensional models of the spaces in your city, including squares, streets, and gardens.

I am going to share with you some techniques or strategies that I use to make this process more efficient and make it easier to work in SketchUp. Let's see how to do it. Since we have the base with the images inserted in the correct size, let's start tracing the plane. First you have to create a clear layer structure, simple, that it works for you and that you will be able to maintain thro...”
