Here's what we consider a rendering bug in LayOut: If you export a 2D png in SketchUp, your raster-rendered model in LayOut should match. If you export PDF in SketchUp, your vector or hybrid-rendered model in LayOut should match. But it sounds like you're describing an unsaved style in a a scene that isn't updated. Save the style first, then save the scene. b ps - whenever I say that, it reminds me of the TV show Heroes: "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World".

Yes, you don't have that ability currently in LayOut. You only can control scenes, not layers. A frequently asked-for feature. b

I just tried it on LayOut Mac, and it worked for me. Here's some things to verify: The style with edges colored with something other must be saved (verify in styles inspector in SketchUp). Make sure you updated the model in LayOut: check File->Document Setup->References to be sure. Render the model in vector. I exported to DXF because it was easier to see my output (Google Docs renders DXF's - sorry, still setting up the office). It worked for me with my beautiful lime green edges. b

Where are you copying them from? I copy the first view port created by the Send to LayOut action and paste that or copy with the Control key while moving. I've never had a problem such as you describe.

I don't have any problems with that sort of stuff on my PC. Is the LO project one you started on the PC? How big is it?

This screenshot is an A4 paper in millimetres for instance: [image: file.php?id=88660]

Thanks a lot for Feedback!

You probably have your stuff on a layer called "on every page". Check your layer settings in LayOut, in the layers drawer in the tray.

I've had this happen a lot in M2! Wish I new why; I'm sure it's something simple

Set your reference on its own layer and lock it. Also uncheck Auto render in Preferences/general.

In LO select your model in the paper space. In 'model dialog/styles/line weight'. choose line weight.

Thanks, just what I need. Love to SU increases by learning it Can not white while V9 will be released. [image: EId4_cool.PNG]

All above are correct. The problem you are having is your Layout scene is probably set to "last saved scene", instead of the appropriate saved scene in SU. When you generate a PDF in layout it automatically updates the reference, so if the last saved reference is not a section saved scene, then you get the pdf shown as it was last saved in SU. Set your scene in SU with section, name the scene and save. In layout, in the Sketchup Model dialogue, select the same scene and render. Export PDF and it should show correctly.

I just ran into the same problem! The model is drawn to 0.001" precision but there's no matching precision in layout. I can't simply convert to metric because Layout's mm precision is limited to 0.1mm. sigh I did post a reply on the Layout wish list; so, hopefully that will help get it fixed. regarding the topic of dimensioning & SketchUp for engineering, I thought producing a dimensioned and annotated 3D PDF would be a great & simple way to pass the model along to collaborators and contract manufacturers unfortunately, it seems the current 3D PDF export pluggins don't work so well for this: The SimLab 2.4 pluggin exports only 2D plane 3D geometry; it does NOT export points, lines, guides, text, nor dimension entities - which makes it practically impossible to create a fully commented/annotated 3D model in PDF. However, with Adobe Acrobat, you can enable the 3D PDF for analysis & measurement within the free Acrobat Reader which is pretty cool. ...but measuring is still a pain compared to having the dimensions already called out...

@unknownuser said: I see, but I think the available texture patterns available in sketchup are far superior to ACAD hatch patterns. This isn't the greatest example, but gets the point across. Sonder, Wow. I like this concrete pattern for member cross-sections. But I don't have it in the original concrete textures. Where can I get the texture?

Compare the overall pixel count (width & height) both in the jpg and in PS.

@dave r said: Unfortunately it's normal. Thanks Dave R. Do not is information that I expected, but so is confirmed another limitation of the LO3, and works to almost starting from zero. Thank you and good day.

Vertex, Vector, yes, those Oh, well that's not great news, I thought I was onto something there. I guess I'll have to revert to my other software. It would be a really good feature to have in future though...
