Hard to say with only a screen shot to look at. Can you share the LO file?

Still using SketchUp 2017 as in your profile?

Nope Just forget to update profile

Fixed the issue by moving one part 1mm

Ill send the file over to you if Ud like to check it out

Thanx again Dave R... U see, I got your name right now

Hello..

So todays question is.. Why does layout "bleed" in vector mode, but normal in Raster ?? (Section cut in model) (see picutre)

I cant find any reason for this happening, model are solid. Another stair, allmost identical are working just fine.

Model are from Inventor via 3Ds Max (fbx) to sketchup

Thank you

You could upload the files to DropBox and share the link with me in a private message here.

It's not my ProfileBuilder by the way.

HA HA HA HA HA ! ! ! ! ! !

Now there is where Dale is coming from, I`m so sorry. My head is not screwd on right

Btw, PM sent

@dave r said:

Do you have the same scene names for both SketchUp models?

Are you putting the tags only on the objects (groups and components) in the SketchUp model?

It would be interesting to see your LayOut files and the SketchUp models.

Nope, the SU models are with different names. Groups and objects are on correct tags alle "geometry" are on layer 0.
There are some "containers" (these are from your Profilebuilder) but they are only containers for geometry, and kept on Layer 0
Id be more than happy to share LO/SU files, but not public :smile: You just tell me how to send and Ill do it

again DaVe thank you for you effort helping out

Hi all.. Dave, Dale and everyone else

So todays question is as follow:

I`v made a template in SU with som tags, and when modeling everything is placed in correct tags.

So lets say I`v made 2 seperate modells using this template and I want to make a drawing in LO

Now, I import the model in LO (Scene 1, top view) I turn of all the tags that i dont want to show. and put it in a layer, lets say layer 1
I make a copy and paste it, put it on layer 2. Now I turn off the tag showing in layer one, and turn on another Tag for layer 2

I can do this for 10 layers showing of 1 individual tag in each layer..

It works fine and I save, thinking life with SU and LO is goooood

Now... When reopening that LO file, Going to "document setup" to replace this SU file with the second one, to make a drawing for that file as well, then ghe "ghost in the machine" shows up..

For som reason, one tag that i did not want, now shows up in every layer aditional to the tag that is suppose to be there. I can turn of that tag, save the file and do it all over again, but that perticular tag shows up each and every time..

Either there is something I dont know about LO (and that is more than possible), or there must be gremlins in my machine. Fredo6 thinks I have Gremlins in my computer

Thank you for your time.

Johnny

![Now here after "relinking a new file" That perticular tag turns on. (That would be that Greenish) line you see](/uploads/imported_attachments/SK3A_qLVJmY3lmX.png "Now here after "relinking a new file" That perticular tag turns on. (That would be that Greenish) line you see")

Once again it is Dale to the rescue with answers... Thank you

Hi..

As the Subject says. Are there a list of all possible commands avaliable in the Auto-text feature ??

I know i can make my own, but the ones that are dynamic like "<Scale>" I dont see that one in "Document setup/Auto-Text" but i found it in the scrapbook.

So the question is: Where do i find a complete list of Auto-Text features/commands, if there is such a thing

Thank you for your time

Ok, let`s wish for it in SU 2025 Thank you for answering

Hi.

Is there a way to activate a sectioncut/sectionplane in layout ?? I dont want to add so many scenes in sketchup, so i was thinking maybe there is a way to activate a section plane in layout ??

Say: I make scene in sketchup as "scene 1" (a top view)

I add 2 section planea in the model Ie. A1 and A2 (different elevations, but on same plane/axis)

In layout i insert model, and select "scene 1". Now I make a copy of that view and paste it in below

In the first view i want to activate section A1 and in the second view I want to Activate A2, is this possible ?? Or do I have to make the Scenes in Sketchup ?

Hope this makes sense

Thank you.

Uppdated, and all is back to normal... Phew.. Thank you for this quick fix

When using the "Stretch to target tool" I get "invalid origin" no matter where i try to start from.. Is this a bug in the software or in the user ?? (read: Me)

Yes yes yes Please delete my bundles Thank you.

So i guess there is some logical explination for this happening. I used to have all my materials named my own way, but now it seems that SU (or som plugin that i have installed, I dont konw what)wants it differently.. And replace all my material names with mat001-002-003 and so on.. Does Anyone know whats going on here ??

Edit: This seems to be a "recovery" issue. If SU fails and cough up a Bugsplat, i restart skethcup and open the recoverd file, all my materials are gone..
Noone else have seen this issue ??

Ok, a bit short explanation

Example.

I model a pipe, steel pipe. Create a material in SU and load a albedo image. Then i use Fredos Thru paint (latest version) and i texture it using Quadmesh UV mapping. The texture adds nicely in SU and I`m all happy to send it to TM using the sync tool (No merging, keeping all objects)
When the model shows up in TM, i load the rest of the textures, roughness, metallic and bump.
The model looks good in TM.
Now I save the model in SU and TM and shut down for the day.

Next day: Open SU model, open Twinmotion model.. Maybe I add somthing in SU, maybe a second pipe, using the same workflow as described above, and syncing with TM The material i added on the first pipe the day before are gone and replaced with the one from SU.
I have to reload all the other maps. Rough, metallic and bump..

This happens every time. I found another comment on this issue in the TM forums, saying it had to do with our favorite mapping tools, Thrupaint.. (I don't belivee it )

Hope this makes sense
