Updating in Layout 3
-
Is this your workflow?
- You are working on a SketchUp model and LayOut file simultaneously.
- You make changes in the model and save it.
- When you go back to LayOut you see the warning symbols that the model has changed?
Does this behavior happen if update the entire LayOut drawing by using File>Document Setup>References?
-
Auto render is turned off, turn it on, or select the model and click render.

Sending to layout works fine if Layout is closed but will not work if it is already open.
I have this problem too, is it possible to "Send to Layout" when LO is already open?
-
are you sending the same model that is already linked to your LO file? are a different one?
-
A different one...like this:
-I am working on a LO file
-I finish and close that file, but do not close LO
-I open a new file in SU, hit "Send to Layout"
-Nothing happens, so I close LO, then hit "Send to Layout" from SU and then the file opens in LO -
Yes. This is a known issue on Windows. When you launch both apps, if you "Run as Administrator" it'll work.

Yeah tested this by sending one model to LO, then made new one saved and tried sending, no luck. My user account is an administrator, well, the only admin on this comp. Using vista home premium SP2, not sure if this is an issue...
Cheers again

Pretty sure you still need to tell the program to run as admin...
If you right click on the .exe icon to launch, you can get to a check box under advanced.
This should keep the setting so you do not have to right click each time.

Thanks J HauswirthThe checkbox on the SketchUp dialog called Auto also changes this setting.

Aa yes yes yes, my bad for not exploring all the functions in the dialogue boxes, even in SU7. When I made the transition to SU8 it had changed a few settings that I wasn't use to manipulating, now I have been shown the light! cheers again mate.
