Hi

I have a problem that I'm sure someone will be able to answer.

I've been using Layout and for some reason the default text is set to 'Little Deuce Coupe - 36" I've never used this but have flicked through the fonts to try them out. Now whenever I use text, this font appears. At the minute I'm using Avenir, 14 and everytime I open a new text box I have to go through the process of changing to the font I want.

How do I set things up so that the default is the Avenir 14 ?

Also I want to set leader line preferences so that each new leader line has the arrow head and line weight that I want, rather than having to go through each arrow and change the settings.

Any help will be much appreciated

Hi Everyone

I'm James and I'm new around here, I've been browsing for a while but now I've got a question so I'll jump in.

I've created a building in Sketchup and the upper and lower floors are separate groups. When they're brought together there's a line around the middle of the building where the upper and lower meet. This doesn't when lines are switched off but shows when lines are visible. I've now exported my model to layout where I'm making elevations, which need lines visible, but the line around the middle is confusing.

Is there any way to remove this line ? I was thinking of making a box in layout to drag over the line (no edge, fill the same as the surface in sketch up) but I can't find anyway of selecting the colour from the model surface. The colours menu doesn't offer a 'colours in model' option and I can't find any kind of sampler.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Many thanks

James
