Shadow Info Problems

[toxicvoxel]

I've had this problem for a while in Sketchup and Layout.
In Sketchup:
Sometimes when I reopen a file the shadow info associated with individual pages gets reset and everything is in the 'dark'. Using ruby to check what's going on it looks as if it resets to Boulder time which I assume is the default. This appears to happen when I have high polygon components in the file. Using the shadow sliders does not correct the problem because the location appears to be reset. I have developed a workaround that saves the shadow info to a text file (ruby script) which I use to reset the pages to their desired shadow info state.
In Layout:
Even with the desired shadow state in SU I get the dark state when using the scene in Layout. Using the sliders has no effect because the location info is obviously being misinterpreted in layout. This renders layout almost useless to me.

Anybody have a way to resolve this?

toxicvoxel,
Some info here about losing the SU location on re-open.

After you re-set your location and scenes are you saving the SU Model and updating LO reference?

Curious - did you get this resolved?
