    Anyone find a real solution for this yet? I don't think the real question was ever addressed. See the attached file for the lines that were originally questioned.[image: zRZV_Capture.JPG]

    My suggestion, trace the floor plan in layout and get a really nice crisp presentation. Will take half the time of mucking around and you wont get all the nightmare lines that result from exploding the vectored SU model. In fact I do all plans in Layout and then model up in SU!

    @pbacot said: And they probably had a lot of half size sets printed because no one likes lugging the huge sheets around. Yeah I had a builder on the phone last week complaining that some drafty had given him plans at A1 size (big) as opposed to A3 (small) that he could then print in his own office and manage on site V's having to get them printed at a bureau and then need a table for handling on site! The world has moved on from large plans, thats what associative dimensioning is all about!

    Thank you SO MUCH, Dave...! I will give it a try... I sure hope that we will see an option to get a isometric grid in LO in the future... I seem to have more and more requests for this...

    Dynamic sheet index (which might be exploded for custom editing and formatting.) Good idea!

    Edges are rendered as vector lines in Hybrid so they'll be the same in both Hybrid and Vector. Fog won't fade out vector lines. The lines need to also be rendered in Raster for that to work.

    Does the scene name for the viewport in LO show as modified? Could you post an example LO file that shows this? No need to post the SKP file, too.

    Fantastic! Thanks for the tip Dave, overall I really like the new functionality, and can see the time that was put into the upgrade of this feature. Knowing these subtle nuances is invaluable. Profile updated.

    Thanks. I think I am confusing two different issues on this thread. I'll look into it and probably post another thread. My goal now is smaller pdf output from LO.

    I think I figured it out. Originally I had the section planes withing a group and now that I have placed new section planes I did them outside the group.

    When I export a PDF construction document set in Layout it will be like 200-300 megs. With the print to pdf I get like 20-60 megs. And yes, much faster. Glad I could be of help. Still interested to know what was going on with that layer.

    A title block should be part of your template. Make a template for the size of the paper you're working with. If you need to print on different size sheets, make the template for the largest and print the exported PDF to the desired smaller size.

    @dave r said: Notice you've got both the label text box and the arrow selected. The select initially as a group now in LO2015. That's why the grips are way out there like that. There are some subtle nuances now with the Label tool. If you want to resize the text box and not modify the shape of the arrow, double click on the arrow. Then single click on the text box and you'll see the resizing handles where you expect them. Got it! Thanks Dave.

    I'm not Mac and use layout infrequently so it's just a guess. Check that you aren't on a locked layer when trying to access the files.
