SU to LO Insert Scenes
-
I might be doing this wrong...but for now when I create a model in SU, I create some scenes, add some text, I then "save" the model, and then go to LO and insert a "scene" in a "template". In this case it is a "perspective view". I then go back to SU, I make some changes to the model, and want to "update" the page in LO, i.e. I added some text.
Is this possible?
What I seem to be thinking is that within SU/LO I i have a "live" document. I.e. a document that will update as to the changes I want it too.
Is this possible?
thanks

You can right click on the window in LO and choose update reference. I can't remember if there is a way to do it more globally or automatically though

Oh yeah, go to File > Document Setup > References and then select the linked file and click Update. That will also update it.

That works!!!!!
This is a whole new level of potential productivity!!!
Now I just gotta learn LO layers and how to make specific pages for a working drawing "document' / book.
thanks again.

Well, to a degree that worked then I got lost again.
I want to have different "scenes", in this case elevations, plan and sections of a small "test model" house.
I dropped them into LO and was creating a "test set" of working drawings. I did successfully "update" the drawings.
Then, I wanted to get the section cut lines out of one of the scenes, so, in SU I went to menu, view, section cuts/planes, unchecked them to see that view...and I lost my section cuts. I went back a couple of steps and tried the next option...
I went into "scenes" and tried to see if there was something to check off within the menu there...I checked off activate section planes and permanently lost "Section A" even rechecked it, did an update...
What do I need to do to have a model with sections and views without all the section cuts obscuring the model?
And with the ability to go back to that "scene" and see it as it was saved or updated? Do I need to or can I "lock" it?
I get these glimmers of hope and then it all crashes down again...
thanks
