jhauswirth · 20 Sept 2010, 20:17

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?

bmike · 21 Sept 2010, 11:52

are you sending the same model that is already linked to your LO file? are a different one?

d12dozr · 21 Sept 2010, 19:46

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.

Sweet, yes the auto render under Layout Preferences/ General/.. worked wonders

Thanks J Hauswirth

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.

The 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.
