SketchUp's free LayOut Essentials course on Trimble Learn (formerly SketchUp Campus) covers the fundamentals end to end - free with a Trimble ID.

LayOut 2026 added four drafting tools - Trim, Extend, Fillet and Chamfer - and its upgraded graphics engine is now the default renderer, so current tutorials are worth a look even if you learnt LayOut years ago.
