Make Unique
-
Id like to be able to make isntances of a model unique within layout.
Just to put this into context, i had a model in SU with loads of dimensions attached. Id like to be able to import this mdel, create several instances of it on several different pages and make them all unique, so id be able to delete the bits of the model i didnt need on each page, so leaving lots of components from the end model.
Hope that makes sense.

Why don't you use scenes for this in your model - just like in native SU? LO can handle scenes and layers.
-
I didnt realise layout did scenes, i'll have to have a paly around with that next time i need to use it. Thanks for the pointer.

Remus, do you never sleep?

with one eye on the forums

Ha, Gaieus--Funny that you of all people should ask Remus if he ever sleeps!! Judging by the prolific nature of your own posts, your personal requirement seems to be about 2.5 per night, max!

i'm running on about 2 at the moment.
got to sleep remus!
oh, i dont have the link for it (perhaps gaieus will provide?) but there is a really nice video on layout from the last 3d basecamp.
it's an hour long and helped me loads.

I'd rather suggest John Bacus' presentation from BaseCamp as in our "Tips and Tricks" presentation there were no LayOut tips despite the title (I could've had some - like this one - but eventually, since the ability to export png files with transparent background straight from LO since version 2, it has become obsolete).
-
Just another interesting tip: if you name your scenes in a standard way in SketchUp, then create a template in LayOut with a stand-in, simple model, but one that has the exact same scene names, when you take the model you want and Send to LayOut and choose that template, all your pages in that template will be populated with the correct scenes from your SketchUp model.
