@schaferron1 Hi Dave, I discovered how to purge, discovered how to determine what skp. file a viewport was linked to, thanks for your help!

I searched and searched, but I couldn't find the Spacing option.I have to be blind. On a Mac, it might not exist. However, I was able to manage the interlettering, so I appreciate your help.

Thank you for the offer. My mouth is watering already!

👍

Still not working for me! Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. I can't find out why it is not consistent. I'm on Mac OSX 10.9.5...much thanks, Keea

Is scale an option here? scale of the model in layout?

Hi, am very new to Layout - what do I do with the download files please - and how use in Layout
thanx

Thats been a great help, it feels about 3 x faster and does not crash.

Thanks

I did not

I will reinstall

I also have tried deleting the google drive and it keeps telling me to stop running google drive (which I have) and won't delete it from my hard drive. ARGH!!!

Good deal!

Upload the file to DropBox and share the link.

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.

HA HA HA HA HA ! ! ! ! ! !

Now there is where Dale is coming from, I`m so sorry. My head is not screwd on right 😳 😄

Btw, PM sent 😄

Ah... That Dale. 😄

No worries and I'm glad if I was helpful.

Thank you for your reply, Dave.
I am using SketchUp/LayOut 2020.
That is certainly a workaround, but I would need to adjust my workflow to accommodate that... I use guidelines all the time, but I am a heavy user of the Edit -> Delete Guides function. It would be strange (for me) to leave a guideline in my model, is that something "normal" to do?
The other workaround that I found was to draw a line on top of a model edge in LayOut, then draw a perpendicular line via the inference engine which creates points for me to snap a dimension to. The only problem there is that it does not snap to the model, and therefore does not reflect the scale of the model (see "9/16" dimension on attachment). I can remedy that by deleting the lines drawn in LayOut, then moving one of the "legs" of the dimension so that it snaps to the model, and therefore reflects the model scale. It's a workaround, but I guess it works. Would you have any other suggestions that I could try?
Thank you again, Dave, I appreciate your expertise.

Yes. Simply resizing the dimension doesn't do the job. You have to get into it and move the points. Glad you've got it sorted.

Make a scene including a section plane and save it.

You will need two "styles" in your Sketchup styles panel. One style must have the box checked to show section cuts; the other style should not have the box checked.

Bring the scene into Layout as two copies. For one copy of the scene choose the style with section cuts shown.

On the second copy of the scene choose style not showing section cuts.
