    • RE: Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport

      @Dave-R Hi Dave, thanks for finding the extra skp. files. I have unlinked them and purged the references in document setup. The files continue to show up as embedded. How do I remove them all together or is that necessary? How do you purge the Default Tag Geometry and the components - tags - materials - styles? It looks like once I unlink the skp. files all of the viewports that were linked to that skp. file become blank. Is this to be expected? Is there a work around? How can I determine which viewports are linked to these purged unlinked skp. files?

    • Layout viewports becoming disabled - will not connect to ref - work around, I have to replace the viewport

      My layout file viewports will become disabled, not updating, and they lose their styles. I am not sure why this is happening. I have uploaded the sketchup file and the Layout file to wetransfer. Help would be appreciated. https://we.tl/t-Jx0SiuTEhR

    • cannot select groups with one click -

      Somehow, my sketchup has removed my ability to single click groups. I have to drag over them to select them. I cannot explode the groups, I can just drap across them and they highlight - turn blue - but i cannot edit them, explode them or measure items within the group. I am sure this is just a setting, but I cannot find the setting. Thanks

    • Auto text section marks to their page number location

      Hi,

      I am adding wall sections to my set. On the plans I have a section detail marker for each wall section. How do I create an auto text that will generate the page number of the individual wall sections?

    • RE: Print x-ray face view

      Thanks Dave! I think I need to go through a tutorial that explains the basics of tags and groups. I have never understood the sketchup tag - layer system. I do understand how to create groups, but components are still a bit of a mystery. If you have any tutorials that you can suggest that would be very appreciated.

      I switched from 3D Max many years ago to sketchup so, some of that process + autocad process sticks with me.

      Best,

      Ron Schafer

    • Print x-ray face view

      I have a scene in sketchup with x-ray on. I have this scene in Layout and x-ray is working. When I export the sheet to jpg or pdf the x-ray disappears. Is there a work around?

    • RE: Make layer visible or invisible in all scenes

      Question, I just loaded the extension "Auto Invisible Layer ON/OFF" When I close sketchup do I have to remember to turn this extension on? It seems that way. Maybe I am doing something incorrectly.

    • RE: Make layer visible or invisible in all scenes

      Hi Rich. Thanks for your reply. I don't see a visibility setting(s) choice in my scenes drop down. I am not quite sure what it is that you are suggesting.

    • RE: Make layer visible or invisible in all scenes

      The plugin "auto invisible layer" will it allow me to select a layer and have it turn on or off in all scenes? It seems this plugin is just when a new tag is created, it will not be visible in all the existing scenes. Which is good BTW. Just looking for more .. thanks.
