Hi everyone!
It's been 5yrs after last post on this topic. Is there any improvement in achieving different paper sizes in the same Layout file? Is this possible?

hahaha ha haha

erm, no, unfortunately

I'm hoping this happens in the new update due sometime later this year

Sad thing. I hope it will change in the future. Thanks for the answer anyway! Cheers!

Thank you very much. Actually you've turned my sketchup world upside down Zooming still annoys, but I can live with it. Cheers!

Maybe you are right.

And what do you think about this zooming problem? Can you figure out the reason?

This is poor practice. You should leave Layer 0 active (current) at all times. All geometry is drawn on Layer 0 and should remain on Layer 0. Only the group or container gets assigned to other layers.

Why is it better? What's the difference?

Thank you for your reply. I've been working with Sketchup since the "6" Google version, so I know what I'm doing

Zooming: The mouse sensitivity is not the reason, in other programs works fine and I know how to zoom in sketchup (pointing on a geometry) The problem didn't occure for me in previous Sketchup versions.

Layer0: I always try to group everything I can and store it on the layer of my choice (both container and geometry inside). And probably you are right, I've installed lots of plugins from a huge pack and one of them probably causes the problem. I think I'll reinstall SU and apply only trusted plugins.

Thank you!
Cheers!

Hi guys,

I have these two very frustrating problems with sketchup 2017:

1. Whatever layer I'm using (current layer) the shape/line I draw appears to be on Layer0. How come? It should be placed on THAT layer I'm using.

2. Using zoom in su2017 is not as easy as it should be. When I turn the scroll wheel ONCE, the image in sketchup window "flies" like I would scroll at least 10 times. And I just want to zoom a bit, not
   magnify to see ants or bacterias..

Did anybody accured these things? Do you have a solution?

Regards

Playing with it is cool, but there's a huge "BUT" from two bitmaps I used in single SU file (400x400 & 200x200) it made my file 60MB big! It's much to much. My PC handles aprox.100MB files, but they're almost uneditable and hard to use. So what do we need this plugin for? Maybe some small not complicated architectural details? Simple scenes?
