      Hi Guys,

      I am a bit new to Layout but have used sketchup for a little while. I have set up some views of my model in layout. The problem is the shadows look different than in my sketchup model for the same time of day. Just wondering if Layout takes onboard the sun location from the sketchup model or you have to state it's location in Layout.

      Many thanks in advance.

        Hmm, that is odd. Are your shadows saved as part of a scene that you are using in Layout or did you manually setup the shadows in Layout.

        Also did you alter North in your sketchUp Model; if so, was that before or after you setup the Layout file.

        Getting Layout to update certain kind of Changes to SketchUp Model/View can be quirky.

          I agree that you should try creating a "Scene" in SU and selecting it in LO.
          Let us know if that works.

            It seems my pages "secnes" from model are locked out. Cant seem to access them? This is from Layout I mean.
