I have a 20 page layout file that crashes every time edit it. Any idea what I can do to work with it again?

The problem started when a note somehow go on an 'every page layer', now every time I go near that note it now crashes.

Layout is a great programme, it just seems to let me down whenever the pressure is on.

Thanks in advance

Thats been a great help, it feels about 3 x faster and does not crash.

Thanks

Thanks bjazen, I will try that. Is it possible to globally change the imported models to and from vertors? if I uncheck the renderer it changes all the pages but it seems to be a case of changing model by model for vector-raster.

Another similar question; is it possible to globally explode and group dimensions, I find it easier to explode them then move etc but it is time consuming doing each one?

Thanks aging, I think that LO is a great programme, it just needs a bit of refinement (or maybe it me and the way I use it that need refinement)

I too am finding Layout to be slow and stalling a lot which frustrates me no end. Can someone advise what the main thing that slows SUp, is it the number of SUP imports or the number of pages per document or something else?

Thanks again

Thanks very much again, that was the issue.

I was having problems with Layout and decided to update my graphics driver only to find that lines now appear jagged in SUp.

Does anyone know the best driver for the 8800 GTS card as I cannot seem to get reasonable lines again even after restoring an older driver? I see some previous posts about there bing issues with the 8000 cards and SUp , although have not exoerienced anything before now.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, the Document setup- ref dialogue update works efficiently.

I am having trouble selecting an imported model to update it. The imported model will not allow me to right click on it is there a trick to this?

Is there a way to globally update the SUp model?

Thanks in advance

Thank Gaieus, That seems to help.

Every now and again a page comes up with a red cross through it saying- Rendering failed-reduce the image size or DPI. usually restarting Lo fixes the problem but not there is one page that I cannot print.

How do I actually change the DPI and what causes this problem which seems to be random?

Thanks that seemed to be the problem.

Hi, I am new to layout and have struck a problem arranging the model in LO.

I drew a plan and painted the new walls black and imported the model as a shaded style which worked fine showing my black walls.

I now have the problem that I cannot bring notes etc forward, they seem to be masked by the white portions of the model, Is there something that I am doing wrong or is this normal?

A work around I have found is to have as a wire frame and drawer the walls in LO.

I think It was working with the notes in the front before, but I am not sure.

Thanks in advance.

That looks good Christian. I am interested to know is the thick lines of the reinforcing were done within SU? and is fo how?

I managed to find a work around, I positioned the camera in Sup in the position the picture was taken and saved that view as it was the correct view only much smaller, I then imported the image into Photoshop and scaled it to the correct size and it seemed to work fine.

There is nothing wrong with the photo, its just wide angle, not sure why it needs corrected

Hi, I am doing some photomontages of a building in the landscape without any reference for SUp's photomatch.
The photo has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 17mm, I had hoped that I could set the focal length on SUp to 17mm and the focal lengths would match, they do not, Is there a way to match the focal lengths?

I tried matching the field of view and that does not seem to work either.

Thanks in advance Philip
