I'm wondering if you have an installation problem.
I don't have SU/LO2015 on my Mac anymore so I can't compare behavior with LO2017.
Still, as I wrote before, you really should be making style changes to your scenes in SketchUp, not in LayOut.

That would have taken us a long time to guess.
Yeah, I think so too .
However TIG put me on the right track somehow.
Thank you all for your help and being such a fine community!
