With you on that krisidious...

@dave r said:

If in LO, you can probably just resize the text to a new point size although you might need to adjust text box sizes. Dimensions might need to be moved relative to the model, too[/b][/b][/b].

That's what i was trying to skip.

Thank's anyway

You are welcome, I am very interested what you find out as I am bit confused with the Ortho functionality when dimensioning.

yes, yes and yes.

I wish LayOut had and outliner panel. I think it would be very useful when placing or trying to select/edit/arrange multiple viewports and mask objects on a single layer.

Answer to orig question - right click tool bar and go as shown here:

Dave, Yes. As I wrote, it didn't seem to be working until I relaunched. And I was hoping there was a way to select a group of points and eliminate, as in some other applications. Thanks!

Hi Andrew-

In 2014, there's no way to pull data out of the Skp Model using Auto-Text, but it's high on our list for future versions.

thanks,
Marc

I did notice the blue # and saw that my "problem" must be related to this after I posted. I poked around but couldn't find where to change this. I don't know if this is workable but if there was an option to change start page numbering in a context click menu on that hashtag I might have found it.

In any case thanks for helping me with this. I will be sure to check out the official forum next time I have an issue.

Just seen this post and just purchased SimLab PDF.

There is a button to combine PDFs with SlimLab, therefore the 3D pdf and the PDF from Layout can be combined. When opened on Android tablet I could open the file but there was not any 3D model. Only 2d PDF was viewable.

The TSWFA plugin was in beta before. It has now been released as ConDoc Tools http://www.sucondoc.com/

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd report back. We got it resolved. Our IT department installed without running it as an administrator, so we just had to remove and reinstall as admin. Hope that helps if anyone has troubles.

In cross-platform file naming...
You cannot use : / \ * ? " < > | characters in file names [ : is precluded in OSX]...
Also avoid any character typed using the Ctrl/Cmd key etc...
Also avoid allowed, but potentially problematic/confusing { } ' \ = + @
Also avoid starting/ending a file/folder-name with a <space> or a .
Or starting with a . unless it's to be a hidden file [but also disallowed under OSX].
The ^ is also best avoided for files to be used on a FAT Window systems...
The file names com1, com2, com3, com4, com5, com6, com7, com8, com9, lpt1, lpt2, lpt3, lpt4, lpt5, lpt6, lpt7, lpt8, lpt9, con, nul, and prn all are reserved names under Windows systems...

Thanks Kaas

Of course the link Kaas supplied refers to LayOut 2014. By your profile it looks like you're still using LayOut 3 (it says you are using SketchUp 8, still) so Auto Text won't be available. In that case, you'll just put in page numbers manually with text boxes like any other text.

Mate I think it could be the case of all of the above! I think that how you present is based more on what you want to present and how.

If the presentation is a page type, or more a web interface.

Certainly LO has limits, and for client presentations other than fixed images it doesn't allow much by way of what you want to do! Sadly!

Most LayOut objects will snap to their original position during a resize - which can be very annoying, or very useful, depending on your situation.
