@schaferron1 I attached the wrong Sketchup file in the previous we transfer link. This link has the correct Sketchup file. https://we.tl/t-EFe5EIJNBr

Hi, I have been trying to export just one of the pages of my multi page Layout set to DWG. I would like to export multi pages. ..Layout continues to crash without creating the DWG. I have uploaded the Layout file and the associated sketchup file, a PDF of the problem report, and a screenshot of the export settings. Thanks for. your help!! https://we.tl/t-zNC1d9aOQ6

@schaferron1 Hi Dave, I discovered how to purge, discovered how to determine what skp. file a viewport was linked to, thanks for your help!

@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?

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

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

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?

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,

Hi Dave,

Here is a wetransfer link to the LO file.

Hi Dave, the file is too big. 150 mb

oh, well the system will not allow me to upload a PNG or a jpg

once again..

here is the screenshot..

The Mac OS Ventura 13.5.2 Apple M1 Max Layout 23.1.341

I have all of the viewports set to raster see screenshot. The attached PDF is from a PDF export.

Unfortunately, I cannot upload more than one file..
Export to pdf from the file drop down

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?

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.

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.

Unfortunately, the <SheetA#C> did not work. It just displays the page number. No C

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.

I will try the auto text for sheet numbers. Looks interesting. Thanks
