Thank you Masters.
I have another problem:
I wrote code to make BOM base on ComponentReport of TIG. Then I place data on a html datatable.So I have to replace all "\n" by "<br>" like this:

des=c.definition.description des=des.gsub("\n","<br>")

Then the datatable looks good. Then I save data in a .xlsx file. Still look good when openned in Excel. But when I inserted it to LayOut, it create "x000D" before every new line in cell. Please help me how to solve this. Thanks a lottt.

Some of these are pretty great! I didn't have any idea you could assign a texture in SketchUp layers. Switching from Shaded With Textures to Hidden Line + Color By Layer you can have two ways of describing a surface. Very cool for representing a realistic material along with a traditional hatch!

Looks like this might be in the next D'oh! book. Right, Rich? 😄

It never occurred to me to draw freehand like that with arrows 😄

Thanks for the share!

Or by saving the scene in SU. Then LO will recognize it. Make sure selection in Layout does not say "modified", and is the saved scene in SU.

Good tutorial, thanks for posting!

You can have a referenced Sketchup file changed in layout, but you can also have a reference component in your sketchup file and change it for another.

Layout stuff refers to Sketchup Model and Sketchup model is switched on the fly by another component saved on disk, keeping sections and scenes.

I use this system for window components in my architectural projects.

Yes and this seems like a VERY good tutorial for that sort of thing. It just goes so fast (and I only speak English) that is difficult to pick up on all he is showing.

I am not sure I follow what you're doing but looks impressive.

that looks like font replacement going from the font used in the dialog box and the font used in the document...

it happens in SU with WebDialogs and Input Boxes, but I don't use LO enough to have ever noticed it there...

No way around it. Don't use "High" quality edit. If you don't care about seeing every update uncheck Render "Auto" for the models, select all for a page and render when desired. The latest version also saves a couple seconds (not that impressive). Closing the file after update might help?? Still a pause when you open each page.
At least a "render all pages" command, would allow you to go for a coffee break.
