Sizing a page from Sketchup to Layout

[mland]

Hi team,

I am a beginner with Sketchup and Layout 2016 pro.

I try to send a page from Sketchup to Layout, using format paper : A4 Landscape, but the page is always truncated in Layout.

No effect with changing scale in layout.

So, what is the good practice to transfer all a page from Sketchup to Layout ?

Thank's in advance.

First, there are no pages in SketchUp. Create scenes in SketchUp that display what you want to show in LayOut as viewports. When you send the SU file to LayOut, it will open with the last saved scene. Change the viewport to the desired scene in the SketchUp inspector window in LayOut. If you need to change the size, you can drag the edges or corners of the viewport. Note that Shift and Alt impact what happens when you are dragging the edges of the viewport. Play with them to see first hand.

You can set a scale for a viewport if the scene in SketchUp was made with the camera set to Parallel Projection.

Do not open viewports to change the view with Orbit, Pan, or Zoom and do not set the view in the SketchUp inspector window. Doing so will disconnect the viewport from the original scene. Then scene-specific changes you make in SketchUp will not get translated to the LO file.
