Layout problems
-
I have created a small shop design in SketchUp. When going to Layout it seems to pick up the file okay. However, when placing the cursor on page "typical section," "electrical plan," or "floor plan" the cursor just "cooks" with no response. when trying to change setting from "Raster" to "Vector" it does the same thing. So I cannot read those three pages or even change the name of them or anything else.

Hi Paul and welcome,
By the cursor "cooking" do you mean the whole program being unresponsive/frozen?
-
Yes, the cursor just sits and spins indefinitely. In addition, i cannot change from raster to vector on any pages. FYI I have a duel core processor and a hefty graphics card. When the cursor is "cooking" I am using about 50% memory. There is no problem moving or orbiting the image in Sketchup. The file is about 12 meg.
I just discovered that i cannot export the typical section, floor plan or electrical plan to a PDF file. The other pages will go but, as before, the cursor just "cooks" when coming to typical section. These pages were created in Sketchup under Section Plane using "Create Group or Slice" and edited in Layout.

Hm. This sounds weird. How big is the file? Also, can you share it? Maybe some of the GSU Team chimes in and they have better ways to bug fix a particular file than us, puny humans.

How long have you given it to finish? Vector rendering can take a very long time.
If you can get us the file we can see what's going on.
