I am having a problem which, I think, is restricted to the file I am working on.
I am starting a new set of construction drawings and decided to do it on an existing file that contains pages and layers that are office standards. Furthermore, I deleted all that was on the various pages and inserted the new model.
So far, so good, but when I try to copy the inserted plan on another page so that I can show another scene, copy/paste is not working. I tried through cmd-copy/cmd-paste: no way. Then through Edit>Paste: same result.
The same procedure on a clean file works seamlessly. There must be an issue with the file I am working on.
I tried to purge the file, but it did not help. Any ideas?
Why don’t you have a LayOut template that includes these office standards but has nothing that needs to be deleted before you can get to work?
FWIW, the SketchUp file for that floor plan is quite bloated with some very large texture images. I reduced their size to something more reasonable, fixed incorrect tag usage, and purged unused stuff from the model. This reduced the file size by about 67%. Most of that came from reducing those huge textures. After updating the reference in LayOut I copied that viewport and pasted it onto the next page. It copied much faster and also actually pasted.
Thanks, Dave! Before I read your message I did what you suggest: I created a new template. Yes, there were several images that used to model from. Purging helpd too. I think now everything is working fine.
All edges and faces should be created and remain untagged. In your model there are a couple of hundred edges and some faces that had tags. I fixed that with TIG’s Default Tag Geometry from Sketchucation.
