      I dont know what is going on??? I have a floor plan in Sketchup it looks ok in Sketchup, but when I insert it into layout the quality is so poor it looks terrible, when I zoom in on my sketchup model in layout the line thickness is about a foot thick (in Scale)... Whats going on? I have the resolution set to 300 in sketchup. I think I attached the correct file showing this.

      Thanks Terry

        Layout optimises the view to speed things up while you are working on it. you also can assign line thickness to the windows.

              Just to point out an item that Tobobo mentioned above, Layout has settings to allow you to design and arrange your models at a low res state, to allow for better performance, and export at a higher dpi/res.

              All this is done through the Document Setup/Paper... Rendering. See attached image

              Cheers
