# Defining zone types in SketchUp

## Defining zone types in SketchUp

This video show is an overview of the workflow for creating and defining zone types in SketchUp, and provides details on the following workflows:

* Drawing and duplicating geometry in SketchUp
* Making a face into a component
* Applying the AudienceZone\_Material and BoundaryZone\_Material to separate components
* Exporting the components as a .gltf file
* Importing the .gltf file into Plan
* Viewing audience zone, boundary zone and venue geometry types
* Changing zone types in the Zones Panel
* Creating a 1x1 Matrix Array with a Parametric Beam to view simulations
* Viewing Audience Zone and Boundary Zone simulation results
* Viewing the Boundary Zone casting shadows onto the Audience Zone when Acoustic Shadowing is enabled
