Yes, it works!
Thank you Andrew.

All,
We've created a help article on SketchUp's website that will walk you through your options for beating this issue.

Guess we shouldn't have expected them at all...😞

To some extend I can agree, that it's a little disappointing that so few feature requests have made it so far... 😐
I assume that it's primary caused by the migration to 64-bit, which I acknowledge have been a huge task...!

I do hope that now where these things are in place, they have the time to work on the feature requests in the future...

It would also be really very helpful if we could import DWG/DXF files

No need to double-post...

hi friends,

The problem which i posted here is not solved. i tried with uninstalling and re installing sketchup 2013 and 2014 both.

bt the problem is the same.

i used ccleaner to clean registry entries after uninstalling sketchup.

bt problem remains same.

i installed the same sketchup versions 2013 and 2014 on another machine and it works fine.

Whts the problem then? how to clear traces of software?

can anybody help me?

And even eight years later the corner radius cannot be adjusted.

Even when plans are smaller (D size) you see the contractor printing 1/2 size sets. Actually with better SW and printing now, reduced sizes are still readable. That said, most plan checkers want a minimum size text, 1/8" high or so. With all the info that usually goes on a floor plan it can get crowded at smaller scales. You can help by utilizing the software to carefully arrange the info,use more plans: ceiling plans, separate power and lighting plans etc. to put the info on. Personally never gone below 1/4"-1'. If necessary. I have a 1/8"=1'scale overall plan then provide larger plans of sections of the house.
Just make sure it is legible under the Bldg. dept. standards and check if they'll take it.

Ideally everyone would have iPads but that hasn't translated to ease of use at the site yet.

I heard in Europe--don't they use smaller format, sort of like a book?

You may be right about the graphics card but scenes shouldn't show as modified. Open the list and select the scene again so you change the viewport back to the proper version of the scene.

Just a quick update on this.....figured since there weren't any...."yeah me too" replies,
I checked LO 2013 (still installed) on my machine and it behaves the same as I describe above.(LO 2014) (viewport line style/scale fails to display/print properly)

Funny I do not recall this behavior in previous versions...and I am fairly certain I have saved .pdf output files to prove that.

Anywho...seems to be a localized situation.

Best,
Charlie

PS....now to try and understand why last saved SU view seems to randomly populate already assinged/scene specific viewports in LO.
....perhaps another thread on that.......

Some day. 😉

I haven't had any problems with shadows showing in LO2014. Did you update the style in SketchUp before updating the reference and rerendering the viewport in LO?

How about completing your profile with OS and SU versions?

The fastest? I suppose you could make copies of all of those in SketchUp with them rotated as needed and aligned so you can show them in a single scene. That's usually not all that useful though. I would make separate scenes in SU for those views and separate viewports for each scene in LO. Then, to align them, use the Precise Align feature by dragging that center doodad that appears when you select the view point to a corner you can use for alignment in the select viewport. Then move the viewport so that point aligns with the reference point in the neighboring viewport. They should snap into alignment. Then you can use the cursor keys to move the viewport over as needed while maintaining alignment. Shift will increase the move increment size with the cursor keys.

Hi Chuck-

Just to let you know, a number of the LayOut team members have read that wishlist post, and I'll work up a point-by-point reply when I get a chance. Stay tuned, and thanks.

Edit: This was reposted as a separate thread, I'll follow the discussion there:

You can do this in at least two ways... 😄

1.)
Go to the path
C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\LayOut\Scrapbooks
Copy the scrapbooks and go back to
C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\LayOut\Scrapbooks

Voila - they're now copied to LO 2014...

2.)
Open LO 2014
Open the scrapbook files one by one located in
C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\LayOut\Scrapbooks
Save the files as scrapbooks...

Your templates are located in:
C:\Users*username*\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2013\LayOut\Templates

Same procedure as describes above applies for these...

So you want to have a shape in LayOut with a material from SketchUp? Probably the easiest way is to draw the shape in SketchUp 8, apply the material image you want and send it to LayOut 3. If you would upgrade to SketchUp and LayOut 2014 you would be able to apply raster image fills directly in LayOut but that feature hadn't been developed for LayOut 3. You could then export the texture image from SketchUp and bring that into LayOut.

Thanks that was very helpful.

Minor additional info - my 'old' LO file for the house model loads does whatever conversion is needed and appears to be fine. Updating the model - which seems to load the 'new' version of the house model as saved by SU14 yesterday - still looks good.

Very odd.

Really?

They gave you a handy button labeled 'Fill'.
