“I would strongly suggest that you use layers” Thank you for clarifying that, believe me, I looked for that answer before I asked. “If you start typing while the initial text is highlighted, LO won't attempt to highlight the label to be reconnected later.” Am I doing this backwards? Should I be moving the viewport to the model? No matter how carefully I positon my scenes in SU, they never come in in the view port centered. I have however had to zoom and pan to get the model “centered” in the view port. It is not intentional I’ve tried to be very careful not to change the perspective in the view port. I’ve noticed that in many of the LO files I’ve done. “One key thing I noticed in … that the viewports all show their scenes as modified.” I would be happy to sent you the file, perhaps that would give me more insight as to why it updates/renders so slowly. Thank you, I guess it was “DOH” moment that I didn’t try copy and paste because I wasn’t sure how it would work.Īs a novice using Layout, I find it quirky. Yes, it was in the 2018 version that I misread as the 2017 version, that has the lock option, thanks for bringing that to my attention. However, my question was “Are there native leaders in Layout that I’m not aware of?”

And yes, I have figured out how to explode them. “I discover that I need a “view that I didn’t have the foresight to create”, “Not taking the time to label my components', etc.Īctually, the reason I even knew that the “pink” box indicated that I needed to relink to the component was from one of your posts in the SketchUP forum. I think I suggested that early in my question. I'd be interested in seeing your LO file to see how you have it set up. I sure don't see one.ĭave R wrote:So it sounds to me as if you're looking for a fix for poor workflow. Are there native leaders in Layout that I'm not aware of?Īlso, I see that there is supposedly a 'lock' function in Layout 2017 upon a right click. Even though I have changed the text box to the name I want, upon every refresh, I get a pink box trying to relink to the component name. Using tags for leaders, because I have not taken the time to name everything and have used defaults, such as 'component 56'. If anyone has read this far, I have a couple of other questions. But I've spent more time than I care to have on this and I'm afraid I'll mess it up. If it turns out that the answer is copy and paste I'll have a DOH moment. Is there a way to work with two Layout files (similar to modeling a component in a file separate from a very large model) and importing just a page?

Having to update my Layout file with every added scene or edit of my model really seems to bog down my workflow, taking several minutes or more for each page to update.

TL,DR: Not much new for folks modeling for 3D printing, but with improved Ruby standards we should see better plugins soon.I'm in the middle of creating a Layout Document as an owners manual for a hidden door I developed for a client.īecause I didn't really know what I might have needed 'Scene wise', I've been creating them as I go along, or adding to them when I discover that I need a 'view' that I didn't have the foresight to create. More discussion in Sketchup and CAD subreddits. I do like that they've committed to keeping the free version as well as improving Ruby for plugins, since that's where most new tools for 3D printing will come from.

Drawing should be a little faster overall as well.Įver since Trimble bought Sketchup from Google, they're been focusing development more on Pro features, which makes sense as they've got to pay the bills. They also updated from Ruby 1.8 to Ruby 2.0, which means that we should see better plugins down the road. The big news in this release includes a revamped 3DWarehouse, two new arc tools in Sketchup, and a pretty major update for Layout (drafting program that comes with Sketchup Pro). There's not much new for Sketchup Make (the free version). Non-reddit communities are listed in our getting started guideĪs a frequent Sketchup user, here's a summary of what this new Sketchup version means for r/3Dprinting.
