The way I've done this before is to just hide the top edge of the slab and bottom edge of the wall; this way it doesn't display.

You are welcome, I am very interested what you find out as I am bit confused with the Ortho functionality when dimensioning.

..Fix will be published in upcoming releases...

I hope it can be released 'soon' because its kinda annoying to have to (temporary) overlay white fixes if you want to render in vector mode.

The simplest and best fix is to avoid double clicking the viewport to change the camera position/zoom level. It's better to make the changes to the scene in SketchUp so the viewport remains connected to the scene. You can resize the viewport in LO but don't open it to change the view.

In layout there are two places where you can get styles from to use on your document:

1 - Sketchup model - wich it's symbol is the small house on the styles tab
2 - Styles Library - wich is any library you have/create on sketchup, if you keep adding styles from here with the same name, it will keep on adding them to your document but won't replace them... Maybe that's what's happening.

Hi Chuck-

Just to let you know, a number of the LayOut team members have read that wishlist post, and I'll work up a point-by-point reply when I get a chance. Stay tuned, and thanks.

Edit: This was reposted as a separate thread, I'll follow the discussion there:

Minor additional info - my 'old' LO file for the house model loads does whatever conversion is needed and appears to be fine. Updating the model - which seems to load the 'new' version of the house model as saved by SU14 yesterday - still looks good.

Very odd.

I haven't had any problems with shadows showing in LO2014. Did you update the style in SketchUp before updating the reference and rerendering the viewport in LO?

How about completing your profile with OS and SU versions?

Hurrai, in the new release of SketchUp & Layout 2014 it's fixed! Thanks Trimble.

Why aren't you doing the dimensioning in LayOut anyway?

I do all my construction and working drawings in SketchUp and Layout. I need to be 100% sure the dimensions are correct. I add them in 3d mode, zooming in and out and thus can be sure the right points are being used for dimensioning. No problems with snapping to another point at the same xy but slightly different z.

greetings, Max

Probably the same issue, in document setup the reference is marked red, after update, the layout is changed but the text remains red.

Thickness is not important. The same situation with any thickness.

It's my biggest hate when updating. Takes me about half an hour to get everything back into a useable format. I did add a save request to the wishlist.

Happend to me twice in 1 week now (missing pages).

LO version 3.0.16846

Have been using locked pages.

I was having the same LO 2013 display issues - the SU styles would incorrectly import as wireframes. After reading your posts I updated my graphics card driver and that solved the problem.

good morning from Germany
I appreciated your comments and suggestions ! ☀ !

Thanks for taking care of the issue Marc 😄

Just to see if those bugs were because of the comma config, i put commas back. And those zoom and keyboard problems disappear. Problem: if i save it with commas, it will mess up the whole thing. Now i'm configuring back to points everytime i save it.
That's so very strange.

You see, my local configuration is a comma, because we use commas instead of points. While my Windows is in Portuguese, my Sketchup is in English (The translation is so rubish, it pisses me off). Do you think if i change my sketchup language to portuguese, those problems will disappear?

I updated by latest packages from MS's KB(MS will drop or dropped support of xp soon).
I think something in components from infragistics or maybe in russian os(language dependent)

Thanks... Much appreciated... 👍

Marc,

I've done dimensioned three or four projects with LO2013 and haven't had any problems with offset dimensions at all.

Thank you so much for the fix.

Hi Red-

The LayOut autosave files are now in a different location: when I run v3.0.16845, the autosave files are placed in /var/folders/x4/q40x3v7d23j7d3vywjt6cb65mkwh3m/T/com.google.LayOut.mdurant/ and each file has a directory name of the form LAYOUT.bG3O7S. Obviously the name of the "q40x3v7d23j7d3vywjt6cb65mkwh3m" folder is likely to be different on your machine!

However, in theory you shouldn't have to manually recover these files from the temporary location - they should appear in the "Recover" tab of the "New File" dialog when you start LayOut. If the "Recover" tab isn't visible (just "New" and "Recent") then LayOut hasn't found any recoverable files. Is this happening to you?

thanks,
Marc
