Sketch Up View Keeps Changing in Layout
-
I am having a heck of a time trying to get different views from the same one Sketch Up file on multiple pages in a Layout document. Each time I change a view on the new page, it changes all the views of the old page. Not sure how to fix this. I know I've done it before with previous Layout versions, I've googled and tried the suggested methods such as creating views, however it's not working. Any tips or advice? I'm guessing (and hoping) that i've missed something simple but can't figure it out for the life of me.
Thanks!

It sounds to me as if you have the SketchUp viewport on a shared layer so it shows on every page. So of course if you make a change to the viewport on one page, it'll show on all. At the very least, put the viewport on an unshared layer or change the current layer state to unshared. Then copy and paste the viewport to each page. You'll be able to make modifications on each page.
The better and the correct way to handle the SketchUp and LayOut thing is to create scenes in SketchUp for each of the views you want. Then use each of those scenes as a viewport in LayOut. Do not make any changes to the views in LO or the viewports will show with [modified] leading the name of the scene. Changes you make to the scenes in SketchUp will then not show in LayOut.

After I posted this last night, I tried the same thing with JPEGs and am having the same problem. I did create scenes in SketchUp - same result. It's definitely a Layout issue, just not sure how to fix it.
