Please, sketchup team, let the items dragging from the Scrapbook KEEP THEIR LAYER. It is really labor and time wasting every time I have to choose a layer before or after I drag something from the Scrapbook.
Thanks for the tips. That was the issue I was concerned about, dark textures and colors being printed. Even on small SD sets the "rehatching" of revisions is just a ridiculous method of working.
I'll just stick with textures in SU.
One option might be to use a B&W lined texture in your model! Just flip the coloured texture out with the lined texture and flip it back in for other shots. I know it's a workaround but certainly a quick one!
Just make sure both textures match in scale and proportion.
If you have a drawing at 1:100, and want to scale it to 1:200, just drag a marquee around all the symbols, excluding the viewport, and scale it by .5. Text, unfortunately, will have to be changed manually. Do not group before scaling, or you'll loose all layer info. Once that is done, you can re align all annotations with the viewport.
If some dims and notes "stick" to the viewport, you can break that link by cutting and pasting the offending viewport.
