Actually, Sonder, now that I think of it, I have no idea how you approach this. You copied objects in SU and set over the model in LO--getting linework you can modify with the shape style? I get different results if I do a copy from SU.
Yes that is correct. You copy line work from the SU model and paste it into Layout. When you do this, LO recognizes it as a SU model. You then set it as Vector rendering. Then you explode it. It remains grouped, and you can edit the line type through Shape Style as well as move the group together. This is especially helpful for property lines, setbacks and contour lines.
The trick to make it easy, is you copy line work from the same scene that is saved in SU and is depicted in the specific LO drawing. That way when you paste it as an overlay in LO it retains orientation and scale, making for very easy placement. So if you have a scene named "Site Plan" in SU, make sure you are copying line work directly from the saved view. I typically use layers to isolate specific items like contour lines, setbacks and property lines, so it is really easy to isolate that line work in a specific scene for copying.
There are a few steps, but it works really well. I hope that makes sense.
Thanks for the more detailed explanation! This helps alot!
Cheers!
