Like all properly brought up Sketchuppers, I normally create a scene in SU before importing into LO. That means that if I click on the window in LO, I can see which SU scene it relates to. But it doesn’t tell me which SU drawing it came from. Sure, you can go to Document Setup and that will tell you all the SU drawings in use. Trouble is, you might have imported a number of SU drawings. Also, the dialog box can be hard to read because it includes the full path and is not expandable.
What I am after is a means of interrogating the LO drawing to tell me both the drawing reference and scene reference. Does that exist?
If you have Document Setup>References open, you should see the correct SKP file name highlight when you select a viewport that is linked to it.
You should be able to drag the Document Setup window to make it wider and then drag the column divider over to make the entire path for the SKP file visible.
@DaveR, that looks just the ticket but might you be on a PC? Not sure it works like that on my Mac. This is what I see when I open Doc Setup and select a scene. And the dialog box stubbornly refuses to change size.
Humor me for a moment. Open the SketchUp file by right clicking on the viewport. I’m going to guess the SKP file ends with Proposed2.skp. Is that correct?
As for changing the size of the dialog box, I can’t check it on my Mac right now but i just dragged the right side over on my PC.
No Dave, it is actually Proposed3.skp, but that’s actually a way of finding out isn’t it? Why doesn’t Proposed3 show in the dialog box I wonder? Something a bit screwed up there I fear.
Oh boy, Dave, I do feel a bit of a berk now! You’re quite right of course (as usual). The relevant file was lurking near the bottom and was highlighted as it should have been.
Anyway, despite displaying my shortcomings, I have learned something to day, so thanks once more.
BTW, Dave, do you ride a white charger and carry a lance?
