In this tutorial, Chris—an architect based in the UK—walks you through how to use Rayon’s SketchUp plugin to seamlessly bridge your 2D and 3D workflows. You’ll learn how to take your architectural drawings from Rayon and instantly generate 3D models in SketchUp, transforming walls, doors, and windows into a realistic structure with just a few clicks. Chris will demonstrate how to create isometric views, sections, and elevations directly from your model, helping you visualize your design in a more dynamic and spatial way. Once complete, you’ll see how to bring those visuals back into Rayon to enrich your drawing set—making your presentation more polished, cohesive, and client-ready. By the end, you’ll understand how this integration streamlines your design process, saves time, and enhances both technical documentation and visual storytelling.
