      Hello Dave, thanks for trying again. I did have the same problem though. Thank you Charlie for chiming in. I have a Intel(R) Graphics Family Adapter. I checked to see that the driver is current. Do you think that could be the issue?

        It might be your graphics card. The file I posted this morning was after I had worked on it on my PC at home. I just opened it on my Mac now and it looks correct here, too. So for me, two different machines (both with nVidia chipsets) and I get good, expected results.

          Clay,
          Are you able to set any viewports to raster or hybrid.
          IOW...are you experiencing this behavior in all of your 2013 LO files?

          Or just some......perhaps only files created in earlier LO versions?

            Dave,
            I'm am leaning towards my graphics card being the problem. After a bit of research it seems that the nVidia chipsets are quite good.

            Charlie,
            I seem to have the same problem with files created in 2013 and Layout 3.

            Could it be a setting in Layout?

              Thanks again Dave and Charlie for your help. After dealing with this problem for a month now it feels like I might be getting closer to a solution.

                Not likely. There aren't any settings to make that would affect that. There's one style in the SKP file and the three viewports use the same scene. It works fine on other computers. It seems it would have to be your computer.

                FWIW, nVidia have always been the recommended graphics hardware for SketchUp and LayOut.

                  Clay,
                  I just noticed you have a scene in the submitted (embedded)SU model named "last saved SU view".

                  LO automatically creates a "last saved SU view" selection in the LO scenes dropdown.(no need to have a scene in SU for that)

                  I am curious why you had a scene named "last saved SU view"........and perhaps this is the culprit?

                  Also, try updating the attached file and see if you get the same results you have been experiencing. (I deleted the old SU scenes and created 3 new identical scenes and then purged the LO referenced SU model.

                  Charlie

                    Hello Charlie,

                    I gave your file the same shake down with the same wireframe results on the raster. Not sure what is going on. The "last saved view" happens whenever you copy selected geometry in SU and paste it into Layout. I did that for a quick example. I usually insert a view from SU into Layout, however with the same results.

                    I wonder if I need to look into upgrading my GPU?

                      Clay, I'm thinking that's where things are at for you at this point. Try an nVidia-based card and see what you get. Make sure you get lots of Ram on it for SU.

                        I was having the same LO 2013 display issues - the SU styles would incorrectly import as wireframes. After reading your posts I updated my graphics card driver and that solved the problem.
