This is a known issue and the developers are aware of it and working on a solution. Hopefully they'll get it fixed in time for the first maintenance release.

RE: new Renderengine?
@jo-ke what version of SketchUp?
Vray works well for me and it can be reasonably fast and simple depending on your needs.

RE: Cursor does not change after resizing a tray
@iandefazio it's a known issue. Hopefully fixed in the first maintenance release.

RE: Split tool to cut contour lines
@Aartrace1 that seems normal if you are locking and unlocking viewports. Why are you locking the viewports and the layer they are on? No need to do both. I would only lock the layer(s). Then, when you update the SketchUp reference, the viewports will render automatically if Auto Render is enabled.

RE: Shape top of stool
The joinery you show isn't terribly unusual. Sam Maloof would approve. I agree withRich that Artisan or SubD would be good options. I would be inclined to model just one third of it and without the joinery initially. I would make the third a solid object (group or component) and then model the leg joinery to use as a cutter for use with the Solid Tools or better, Bool Tools 2 to make the seat-side of the joint.

@Cabinet89 do you have any other pictures? What version of SketchUp are you using?

RE: Split tool to cut contour lines
You still have to open the group for editing in order to get to the lines. It's a lot like working in SketchUP. When you exploded the viewport you wound up with a scaled drawing group. Also, depending on how the SU file is structured, there may be nested groups--groups inside of a parent group. Double click on the contours until you can select a single contour line.

RE: Split tool to cut contour lines
I expect you aren't opening the groups for editing to get access to the contour lines.
As for the eaves, first, what version of SketchUp and LayOut are you using. With the current version you can assign a dashed line style to the tag you've given to the roof so they show as dashes.

RE: "Watt" Micrometer
@Rich-O-Brien thank you! By "spindle arm" are you referring to the lead screw that drives the moving anvil?

RE: "Watt" Micrometer
@ntxdave I don't have any thing to view it in 3D but here you poke around in the online SketchUp viewer.

RE: "Watt" Micrometer
@HornOxx thank you! Two ceparate lines-only exports from SketchUp combined with the render from Vray.

RE: [UPDATED] My LayOut Scrapbook for Architectural Drawings.
@DesignDude there isn't a way around that. The text is sized by font size while the rest is by paper space. I would suggest editing the scrapbook and resize the symbols you need to suit the typical scale of your work. Save the changes and then you won't have to do it every time you need to use them. Take advantage of the editing time to remove symbols you'd never use and maybe rearrange them to make them easier for you to access.

RE: 3D text fonts problem
@pace514 I installed the font and tried it. It shows up as Lato Hairline and it does work for me as 3D text. It's very thin. How tall is your text supposed to be?
