To increase line width in SketchUp (specifically in LayOut, which handles document creation and presentation), you can adjust the stroke width of your lines and shapes. Here's how:
-
Select the Entity: Choose the line or shape you want to modify.
-
Access the Stroke Settings:
- Go to the "Shape Style" panel (if it's not visible, go to Window > Shape Style).
- Ensure the "Stroke" box is checked; otherwise, you won't see any line.
-
Adjust the Width: In the Shape Style panel, you'll find a box next to the color well where you can define the line width.
- Type a Value: Enter a new value in points (pt) or use a unit of measure (e.g., 0.1 in, 2 mm). LayOut automatically converts these to points. For example, typing "2pt" will set the line width to 2 points.
- Use Preset Widths: Click the drop-down arrow next to the width box. This will display a list of preset line widths that you can select.
Summary:
Increasing the line width in LayOut is done through the Shape Style panel. Select the desired entity, ensure the Stroke option is enabled, and then either type a specific width value or choose from the available preset widths.
