Good deal!

Hi everyone, I wanted to share how I have solved the issue: I drew symbols presenting various lights on top of my floor plan (in Layout). I drew continious lines between each light fixture to the location of each light switch (in Layout). I then used a paint bucket sampling a dotted line (I found it in Scrapbook, I think. However if you draw one dotted line by yourself and then sample it with paint droplet (the same as we paint any surface) and apply it to each continious line, you will turn your solid lines into dotte lines within a minute. I created a table in Word (a table and the description). I then dragged a jpg image of the table into Layout. I then copied and dragged a symbol of each light switch into the corresponding tab of the table (I might have used it different layers in Layout for the table and for the symbols but I do not think it is neccessary). Tha is it. I spent quite a bit of time searching for the solution of creating a RFC and combining it with the description, but I could not find it. I am an interior decorator, not a designer or an architect. For the final school project, I had to use several software to make a final package: SketchUp - to draw the model Layout to organize RCP and the description of the lights. Word - to create the table and the description. InDesign - to put all renderings, pictures, RCP, etc together into a 55-page document. PDf: I think I addes some arrows at the end here. I have attached two pages of my Reflected Ceiling Plan submission. These two pages a part of a 55-page document that I then prepared in Indesign. That is it!

Ah... That Dale. No worries and I'm glad if I was helpful.

Thank you for your reply, Dave. I am using SketchUp/LayOut 2020. That is certainly a workaround, but I would need to adjust my workflow to accommodate that... I use guidelines all the time, but I am a heavy user of the Edit -> Delete Guides function. It would be strange (for me) to leave a guideline in my model, is that something "normal" to do? The other workaround that I found was to draw a line on top of a model edge in LayOut, then draw a perpendicular line via the inference engine which creates points for me to snap a dimension to. The only problem there is that it does not snap to the model, and therefore does not reflect the scale of the model (see "9/16" dimension on attachment). I can remedy that by deleting the lines drawn in LayOut, then moving one of the "legs" of the dimension so that it snaps to the model, and therefore reflects the model scale. It's a workaround, but I guess it works. Would you have any other suggestions that I could try? Thank you again, Dave, I appreciate your expertise.

Yes. Simply resizing the dimension doesn't do the job. You have to get into it and move the points. Glad you've got it sorted.

Make a scene including a section plane and save it. You will need two "styles" in your Sketchup styles panel. One style must have the box checked to show section cuts; the other style should not have the box checked. Bring the scene into Layout as two copies. For one copy of the scene choose the style with section cuts shown. On the second copy of the scene choose style not showing section cuts.

Translated by Google: @teachix said: First off, sorry if my question has already been asked. I have been using Layout for a short time (1 month) and I would have liked to know if it is possible to create a standard profile (or environment, or preferences) in order to avoid resetting my line styles, dimensions, handwriting fonts and sizes, etc. with each new project? Yes. You can make your own template with all of those options set and more. Start with a new LayOut file, choose the correct paper size and orientation first. Then make the settings for font dimension and label styles, etc. When I make a new template I place sample of text, labels, and dimensions on the page and then adjust them to suit. After editing the samples, I get each of the three tools in turn, press s to sample the existing text, and make a new sample to confirm it looks like what I want. After I've done that for the three of them, I delete all of the text samples. You can also add layers for different entity types, e.g. SketchUp viewports, labels, dimensions, etc. You can also add page borders, title block, logo images, boilerplate text, page numbers, and so on. In Document Setup>Auto Text you can add various auto text things including custom text that can later be edited for the project. That can save a lot of time later when you are starting a new project. After you have everything set up the way you want it, use File>Save as Template to save it. By the way, before saving as the template I make sure my viewport layer is active. That way if I use Send to LayOut in SketchUp, my first viewport is on the correct layer automatically.

@pibuz said: I wasn't saving my file so layout could not write the path. I guess that would be a reason for there to be no path. Glad you got it sorted.

Thank you. I searched for Error code 107. I did not see that post. Thanks jm
