I seem to have templates with duplicate names:

• Where are Layout templates stored?
• How do I delete templates?
• How do I bring up an existing template and make modifications?

When I send a file to LayOut from SketchUp, there are all kinds of styles showing up in LayOut that are not part of my sketchup file:

• How do I remove unwanted style references from my LayOut file?
• Is this something that can be controlled via the templates? (see above questions)

You might also try to sign in, or check how you are signed in. Down at the bottom left there is a "G" icon I think. Make sure you are logged in on the account you want to be logged in with. Look into that, see if it helps? Also, what country are you in?

Here is what I see when I click on the G:

How do I log in as the administrator?

If I create a component or add one from a library, when I click on the Claim Credits button, it just enters anonymous and there is not opportunity for me to ever enter my name (or some other entity - like the company) as the author.

Yes but it does not let me enter anything.................what am I missing?

I see there is a way to record who the author of components is. Where do you set up that information?

I agree.............

Now I have a silly "newbie" question:
I need to create multiple instances of a shape (like say a pipe) that show that they are joined. As an example, I am drawing a pipe line (or some similar component) and need to be able to have a "joint" (like you see on most pipelines). Is there a simple way to do this with Profile Builder?

With the standard push/pull tool, when I push something and then click on the CTRL key, you see multiple instances of the same item. This does not work (or at least I did not get it to work) with the Profile Builder.

I only have the free version but would be willing to pay for it if that is the solution.

I really like the plugin but have a couple of things I would like for it to do (if possible):

1. I would like for it to remember my selections (font, size, alignment, etc.) so that I do not have to go through the selections everytime.
2. I would like to be able to specify the color (both face and outline if possible).

1. It already does (at least for me)
2. +1

I just tried again on 2 different machines and #1 does not work for me. I really wish it did. I have also emailed these items to TT.

I suppose he means he's hiding the edges.

@ntxdave, how is it that you current "eliminate the outline" on 3D text?

Switch to wireframe style, Edit Component (the 3d text), select of the text, hide the text, then switch the style back to shaded with textures. This results with only the "face" of the text (if you colored it - which I do with the pain bucket tool).

While this works, it is a pain when you have a lot of text components in the model (which I do). Thus the desire to have the ability to do these additional things.

2. I would like to be able to specify the color (both face and outline if possible). In fact, it would be great if there was a way to eliminate the outline. I have a lot of text to enter in my model and it is a pain to go eliminate the outline all of the time.
