Having Layout show section indicators

herrma29 · 26 Mar 2018, 16:28

I'm using SketchUp 2018 Pro. I've been doing drawings with SketchUp for a long time now, but have not been able to figure out how to get Layout to display my section indicators.

In the attached image, I've saved my scene with the section cuts visible. These do not carry over to Layout, however, and I end up with the object alone, without any section references indicated.

When I then add my section cuts, they are not linked in any way to the plan view drawing.

Am I missing something here? It seems this would be very straightforward.

Thanks,
Chris

And just like that, I've answered my own question. Apparently the marks do not show up in vector, but only in raster?

Second question -- is there a way to label the section cut drawings using the section labels shown in the view above?

Also, the section cut markers scale with the drawing -- any way around that?

What the OP asked was not to label the section but the viewport that is displaying the section.

Another thing that you cannot control is the opacity/color of the section plane, if you decide to show sections, or the linestyle and symbol of the section lines.

All of these features you seek have been asked as feature requests before. I hope they make them happen.
