Thanks again TIG. Unfortunately there are no gaps between the objects, they are directly abutted. I have created a simple model of stacked cube groups with the lines between the cubes hidden in sketchup to test this problem. See the image attached. This is a pdf export from layout converted to jpeg. The top view is the hybrid render and again displays the unwanted hidden joints between the cubes. The bottom view is the raster render correctly showing the model with the joint lines hidden. I am thinking this is a bug in layout, and am surprised no one has come across this before? At this point I guess I am going to look for a work around to produce vector linework overlaid on raster material hatches and shadows. I was just hoping not to add extra steps to producing 2d hybrid elevations from sketchup of models created with stacked components (with joint lines hidden)

Thanks for the response TIG. Yes I have the sketchup scene tabs and layout viewports set up as you have described. As a test I have added other whole objects in the sketchup model and hidden them in the scenes and they are correctly not showing up in layout viewports (raster/hybrid/vector). There just seems to be a specific issue of these lines that I have hidden inside the components appearing in hybrid and vector views (but not raster). By simply toggling the viewport back to raster the lines will disappear.

For the type of projects I do it is most efficient to model the building out of several unit components stacked together. This requires the linework between the components to be hidden so the walls appear continuous. I was hoping for a way to generate hybrid rendered elevations in Layout but unfortunately having these lines show up is a problem.

Hello all,

I have a problem of unwanted lines that I have hidden in the sketchup model appearing in the layout vector and hybrid views (but not in the raster view). The model is a building made up of individual repeating components that require the lines between the components to be hidden so that it appears as a continuous wall. Alternatively I have tried placing these unwanted lines on a separate layer that is turned off but the results are the same.

Attached is an image of a pdf print (then saved to jpg) that shows the same view as a hybrid render on top (showing unwanted lines) and a raster view on bottom (no lines).

I have not seen this problem on the forum, any ideas on how to fix or work around would be much appreciated! I need the hybrid view for crisp linework while still showing hatches and shadows.

Thanks,
Justin
