Customizing the Interface and Setting Preferences
Last updated: Apr 11, 2026•1 min read.
Everyone who uses LayOut uses it a little bit differently. The folks who developed LayOut understand that and created options that enable you to customize how the interface looks and works:
Customize the toolbar with your favorite commands and adjust the size of the toolbar icons.
Organize the panels based on different workflows by creating your own panel trays (Microsoft Windows only).
Set global preferences for your companion applications, backups, folder locations, startup template, and more.
Tip: You can also set preferences for specific features. Presenting Your LayOut Project covers Presentation preferences options. SketchUp Models in LayOut explains how to set Scale preferences for a SketchUp model entity.
