Viewport scale changes on update
-
I have a problem with my SU models in layout changing scale when I update the links.
I've inserted views of my model into LO like a floor plan and elevations and set the scale of these to say 1:50, but when I update the model reference the scale changes to some random scale slightly different to 1:50. This is frustrating because every view then requires me to re-set the scale and move the view to align with my LO notes & dimensions every time I change my SU model.
Is there a way to make sure the SU view in LO stays exactly the same when updated?

Do you have "Preserve Scale on Resize" checked (it's in the SketchUp Model Inspector's View tab)? I just tried it with the standard views with ortho projection, and when I changed the scale on each scene, it added "(Modified)" in front of each of the scene names, but did NOT change the scaling when I changed geometry and materials.
I may not be doing thing exactly the way you are, so here's what I did: I created a simple SketchUp model with 7 scenes, each with Camera->Parallel Projection, and the 7 views you get from Camera->Standard Views. I sent this to layout, and created 7 pages, each with a page matching the name of the view (top, bottom, etc...) and changed the scale to 1/4" = 1' (1:48) on each page. Preserve scale on resize was checked.
I then went back to SketchUp and changed a few things (geometry of building, materials, etc...), updated a scene, saved, then back to LayOut and updated the skp model reference. Everything stayed the same for me. More info if you can, because if this is happening, I can see how it would be a pain.
