This is probably going to be a three part series. In the first part, we’re going to talk about scenes and the various information you can save in them. In the second part, I’m going to talk about creating an animation where the camera orbits around a building. In the third part, we’ll talk about using section cuts to create an animation where the actual parts and pieces of the model move.
SketchUp allows you to save scenes with different visibility settings in them.
A scene is basically a saved version of all your current viewpoint information.
For example, if you save a scene, it saves your camera angle, style, visible layers, current section cuts, axis info, etc, etc, etc.
To add a scene, simply move your camera to the location that you like, then go up to view, animation, and select add scene. This will add a tab at the top of your page that you can click on to go back to that saved view at any time.
Not only does saving a scene allow you to save a camera view, you can also use it to save a view with a certain style.
To do this, simply set your scene up the way you’d like it to look, then click add scene. SketchUp will save all the visibility information for the current view in your model.
If you want to update a scene, simply navigate to the new view that you’d like, then right click on the scene you’d like to update up above and click “Update.”
You can also do more advanced management of your scenes using the scenes section of your tray.
The scenes section allows you to adjust which settings are stored in your current scene, as well as manage the names and orders of the scenes in your model.
You can also turn on and off layers and hide and unhide objects and save them in your scene. We’ll use this more when we’re creating animations later.
Let’s say, for example, that we wanted to create a scene with this motorcycle, a restaurant in the background, and a sky image in the background. We’d probably want a couple different scenes. We’d want one with the motorcycle only so we could work on that model, another with the restaurant so we could work on that model, and finally a final image for our image export.
We could set up a scene for each one of these, allowing us to quickly move between the different scenes, but always allowing us to go back if we wanted to work on something.
