File-Structure SketchUP-Files

Layer:		• Dimensions
			• Information (Text, item-#, measures, etc)
			• Model
			• low polygon-version (if necessary)

Style:		• background with company logo
			• foreground our company logo
			• maybe picture of the object as background

Pages (Scenes):	• nice perspective with shadows
			• simple perspective without shadows
			• switching layer on/off

Components:	• information-text within the component on separate layer
			• low-polygon-version within the component on separate layer
			• nested Components where possible

Materials:		• low resolution materisals (not more than 300 x 300 px),
				always (!!) imported from jpg (file size depends heavily on pict 				format!)
			• purge unused materials

General:	 	• purge unused components
			• purge unused styles
			• purge unused layers
			• delete hidden geometry
			• Achsen zurücksetzen

misc:		• tubes generally with 12 segments - more segments only if 			required
			• create all components in a standard orientation 
				(0° or 90° - parallel to red or green axis)
			 - rotate and scale only afterwards creating component
			• metric units as standard with centimeter, 0,2 cm snap
			• colors depend on company CI (corporate identity)
