We’ve introduced new tool colors and highlights to help you notice when you’re creating or selecting entities on a shared layer. Whether you’re grouping elements across multiple layers, drawing on shared layers, or unearthing the bottom of a stacked viewport, our new layers are just plain better. We’ve improved pretty much everything about how LayOut files are organized. For those of you familiar with LayOut’s magic, we think you’re really going to like the changes we’ve made for 2016. If you love SketchUp, there’s a great chance you’ll love LayOut. I previously had tried opening the layout file, cancelling the dialog box that requested an update, then used the “update” button in the tool bar under “sketchup model” – that seemed to leave the rest of the layout pages alone, but all the dimensions were highlighted in red and have to be relinked – which is a bit of a drag to go through them all on multiple pages – is there a way to “relink” these items all at once across all pages? (I tried the “relink” button on the dialogue box when the file first opened, but it created the same problem of inserting the new scenes out of order.What? You don’t use LayOut! Stop, right now, and watch this video. I did the “update” from the dialog box that opened when I first opened the layout file. The pages in the layout file got screwed up – the “cover page” first page is correct, but the next several pages are the “new” scenes from the sktechup file, not the ones that they are supposed to be from the layout file – after the new scenes, the remaining ones seem to be correct. I created a few additional scenes in the sketchup file, opened the layout file and “updated” the sketchup file in the window that opened to indicate that it was out of date. I have uploaded the latest layout file to dropbox which has a slightly different problem. Was busy for the last few days – I fly hot air balloons and do ride flights so we have had a few recently! The problem generally appears after I “Update” the model reference in Layout when it says the model is out of date. I’ll see if I can replicate the problem using copies of the current model and layout files and then upload another copy of the layout file afterwards. Could you elaborate on this for me? Also I was unaware that you could reverse engineer the Sketchup model from a layout file? I thought that Layout was somewhat more independent of the Sketchup model. “layers” became “tags” in the 2021 version. I am not sure by what you mean about “all edges and faces should be untagged”? I had some confusion shifting between the older version of Sketchup and 2021 version – ie. Yes I hadn’t purged the model – should have done that – my bad. Model might be front, right, left, back views and Layout pages are front, back, left, right views as an example. I am wondering if the problem might be that the order of the pages and viewports in Layout may not mirror the order of the scenes in the Sketchup model exactly – ie. When things went bad I simply deleted the viewport and dimensions for that page and recreated it from scratch by reimporting the scene from the model and redoing the dimensions. Camera position or parallel vs perspective view) in the model. With regards to scene 9 I may have dragged the viewport on that one hoping to fix the positioning of the dimensions – but generally I have been careful not to alter the viewport from the time I imported the scene from the Sketchup model nor to alter the “scene” (ie. The scenes that would change would be for example the Rear Elevation (west side) would be replaced by the North Elevation – as an example. Just wondering what I am doing that causes this problem - it has made for a great deal of extra work to reload the correct scene and then in some cases have to redo the dimensions for that page.Īny assistance would be greatly appreciated - I’m hoping it is just some step that I am missing in the process. scene on page one is swapped with scene on page three or example - but not all scenes are necessarily affected Ħ) additionally sometimes the dimensions on the layout page get changed as well to irrelevant settings. The following is how I proceeded:ġ) created Sketchup model and created the Parallel Projection “scenes” in Sketchup.Ģ) created several “pages” in layout and loaded the different scenes to the viewport layer of the relevant pages ģ) added dimensions on the dimension layer for each of the layout pages Ĥ) a change had to be made to one “scene” which was done in Sketchup - and the reference to the model in layout was" updated" ĥ) This last action caused the scenes on the layout pages to be randomly swapped amongst themselves so that the dimensions were no longer relevant. I am having a problem with layout swapping scenes if the sketchup model is updated and updated in layout.
