      I would like to add auto-text labels in Layout to some shapes that have been individually grouped in Sketchup. The auto-text, face area is represented as in², rather than ft². I'm totally stuck. Any help?

            You don't need an auto text code for square feet. If the units in SketchUp are set to feet, you'll get square feet for area labels in both SketchUp and in LayOut.

            If the face is inside a component or group, you'll select the face from the options and choose the area.
