Dimensioning is incorrect in layout

[MalcolmBland]

All three sides of an obtuse triangle are the same dimension in the latest update 16-April-2026, that is incorrect.

Can you post a file?
How did you draw the triangle?

Did autotext somehow get replaced with a simple number? If so every dimension would show that same number.

I received the following information from our South African Sketchup agent:

I re-scaled the Viewport that was the problem and it has resolved the issue. (I think a bug somewhere)

This seems much more like a LayOut/SketchUp update bug or model corruption issue than a simple dimensioning mistake—especially since:

• Same geometry gives correct dimensions in a clean model

• But shows equal triangle sides (wrong) in the full model

• Issue appeared immediately after updating

So you’re dealing with either:

1. A bug introduced in the update, or

2. Model context/scaling corruption that the new version is handling differently

3. From your screenshots:

   • In the “full model” version, LayOut is likely misreading the model scale or viewport transformation

   • The triangle dimensions (310 / 320 / 640 etc.) are being interpreted as equal, which usually means:

     • The viewport scale is broken, or

     • The geometry is inside a scaled group/component, or

     • There’s a non-uniform scaling transformation somewhere in the model tree

   The fact that copy/paste into a new model fixes it is a huge clue hidden scaling or corruption in the original file

You’ll have to post the LayOut file for anyone to make sense of it or have the SKP team take a look at what you think is an issue with the current update.

All three sides of an obtuse triangle are the same dimension in the latest update 16

Is the camera for the scene in SketchUp set to parallel projection?
