In today’s video, I want to talk about how to model different options for a space in SketchUp. I want to cover some ideas for how to show different furniture and furnishing options, as well as using layers and groups to show different finish combinations.

The most important thing to consider when modeling to show different options is the way that you group your geometry. If you group your geometry by option, you can then place the options on different layers, allowing you to adjust your visibilities at will.
In addition, you can also save your layer visibility in different scenes, allowing you to swap between options using scenes.
