hi, i have a problem with dimensions in LayOut. In SketchUp it works fine to create dimensions according to perspective modells, but in LayOut the dimensionlines are not following the perspective. Is there a shortcut or some settings i have to use in this case? Thanks a lot for your help! [25]

Currently dimensions in LayOut don’t follow the perspective of the model. It’s a feature that has been requested but it hasn’t been implement yet. You can add those dimensions in the SketchUp model or there are ways to construct dimensions that follow the perspective in LayOut but don’t use the Dim…

hi DavR, thanks for your fast answer … I tried to create the dimensions in Sketchup but the result is not really acceptable. And i thought LayOut was created to solve actually this problem … creating well layouted plans with perfect dimensions … ; ( How do you manage to explode dimensions? I wou…

[image] jbreiter: I still don´t manage to explode the dimensions Select the viewport, Edit>Explode. You can make standard 2- and 3-views and dimension them. [Screenshot%20-%201_5_2019%20%2C%203_49_56%20PM]

when i select a dimension, i can´t find the explode function … not in the context menu (right mouse button) and although not in the edit menue … that´s really strange [06]

Exploding is done to the viewport in LayOut, not to the dimension in SketchUp. Did you make a scene showing just the dimensions like I told you to do?
