Thanks for the replies. As it turns out right after my post I closed Sketchup and LayOut again and reopened. That corrected the issue that I was having, which is strange because I had closed and reopened the apps a few times before and it did not help at all. I am not sure what the change was the last time. Although I do not know what the actual problem was, at least now everything seems to working as I expect in the way that I use Sketchup.

I see your point on the proper use of layers. I often wondered why entities within a group could be on a different layer than the group as a whole. I will definitely use that procedure on the next model.

Thanks again for the replies. It was definitely an "aha" moment after reading them.

I have just started having an issue where the scene in layout is is showing layers that are not shown in the same scene in the Sketchup model. The scene is saved correctly in the model where all the unnecessary layers are hidden/unchecked but when that scene is exported and viewed in layout it will always show layer0. I have been using sketchup for years and have always never encountered this issue. I have attached the sketchup model as well as the layout doc. The scenes with the issue are the ones labeled pantry. They are on pages 23-26. Any help would be much appreciated.

The sketchup file was too large so here is a dropbox link:
