Yet another LO question

jonorman

Hi all.. Dave, Dale and everyone else

So todays question is as follow:

I`v made a template in SU with som tags, and when modeling everything is placed in correct tags.

So lets say I`v made 2 seperate modells using this template and I want to make a drawing in LO

Now, I import the model in LO (Scene 1, top view) I turn of all the tags that i dont want to show. and put it in a layer, lets say layer 1
I make a copy and paste it, put it on layer 2. Now I turn off the tag showing in layer one, and turn on another Tag for layer 2

I can do this for 10 layers showing of 1 individual tag in each layer..

It works fine and I save, thinking life with SU and LO is goooood

Now... When reopening that LO file, Going to "document setup" to replace this SU file with the second one, to make a drawing for that file as well, then ghe "ghost in the machine" shows up..

For som reason, one tag that i did not want, now shows up in every layer aditional to the tag that is suppose to be there. I can turn of that tag, save the file and do it all over again, but that perticular tag shows up each and every time..

Either there is something I dont know about LO (and that is more than possible), or there must be gremlins in my machine. Fredo6 thinks I have Gremlins in my computer

Thank you for your time.

Here showing the first SU file in LO, Tag on that layer turned off.. Save file

![Now here after "relinking a new file" That perticular tag turns on. (That would be that Greenish) line you see](/uploads/imported_attachments/SK3A_qLVJmY3lmX.png "Now here after "relinking a new file" That perticular tag turns on. (That would be that Greenish) line you see")

Do you have the same scene names for both SketchUp models?

Are you putting the tags only on the objects (groups and components) in the SketchUp model?

It would be interesting to see your LayOut files and the SketchUp models.

Nope, the SU models are with different names. Groups and objects are on correct tags alle "geometry" are on layer 0.
There are some "containers" (these are from your Profilebuilder) but they are only containers for geometry, and kept on Layer 0
Id be more than happy to share LO/SU files, but not public :smile: You just tell me how to send and Ill do it

again DaVe thank you for you effort helping out

You could upload the files to DropBox and share the link with me in a private message here.

It's not my ProfileBuilder by the way.
