Black Crosses
-
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone can help. I am using layout and when I insert my SU model there are giant black crosses visable on certain components. These are not there in SU, I thought it may be due to the guides but I have turned them off in SU and the problem is still there.
Any ideas?
Many thanks,
Sadz

Can you post a screen shot?
Can you trim the file down to just one component and post that
so we can take a look at it? -

I can't say that I'm so very much a "Pro" at LayOut but I think I would've seen it if it were a common bug. -
Hi guys,
Sorry its taken me so long to get back to you. The problem seemed to fix its self. Not sure how, but no more black crosses. Thanks again!!!

Just an FYI: I just went through this with another LayOut person. The issue was that they used the Tape Measure tool to set up Construction Lines and Points in SketchUp, then they showed up HUGE in LayOut. Solution: you can control these in your style in SketchUp. Go to SketchUp, Windows->Style, select the Edit tab, and select the 5th / blue 3D square (modeling settings) and in the lower left, you'll notice the "Guides" checkbox. Uncheck this, update your styles and scenes, and refresh in LayOut, and these should go away.
I'm filing a bug on this, that Construction Lines & Points should not be display independent (I zoom out, and they stay the same size, i.e. they get huge), and what I mentioned above is the workaround until we fix this for LayOut. Thanks all for the feedback to us to help fix this.

Sometimes the style setting don't translate from SU to Layout.
Right click on the model window and go to Styles and select the style "As modified" in the SU version.The Layout viewing of the style can be different from the actual Su Model. And If point and hatch has been deselected in the Architectural style in SU they will show up in Layout.
I was having the same issue aith those stupid points showing up.
