![]() ![]() 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sketchup file, opened the layout file and “updated” the sketchup file in the window that opened to indicate that it was out of date.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 The problem generally appears after I “Update” the model reference in Layout when it says the model is out of date.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. Whoever first programmed that was having a seriously ‘off’ day.I am having a problem with layout swapping scenes if the sketchup model is updated and updated in layout. 620.5, 300.2, or where the decimal separator is a comma, and the delimiter is semicolon then type 620,5 300,2.īe aware that in all but the latest one or two versions of SU, using Imperial/US Customary units when the model units are metric will give you inconsistent and often WRONG conversions. Īnd if you are using measurements with a decimal point, in regions where the decimal separator is full stop (or period, in US English), and the delimiter is comma, just type it as normal - e.g. If you are using the semicolon as a separator, type instead of. Or if you wanted to keep the 300 dimension, and change the 600 to (say) 500 just type 500. Don’t click in the Measurement box first, just type. ![]() So for example if you use comma as a separator, and have set a dimension of (say) 600,300 and now want to change it to 600, 400, just type ,400 before you change to another tool. And if you want to keep one dimension the same, but leave the other as it is, just leave the persistent dimension out of what you typed.
