As I go to the model I’ve created in Layout, I want to display in vector mode. In my Isometric view I created I want the faces to all be white or a another solid color I’ve chosen.

Some of the lines of the model that I’ve tagged to be a light shade of grey now disappear because SketchUp applies shading that changes as the view rotates.

Is there a way to turn off any shading? I see in SketchUp shading without textures. Or default front and back, then I lose any solid colors.

Thanks Tim

Can you share the LO file so we can see exactly what you have set up?

Most likely you need to adjust the light and dark settings in the Shadow settings for the scene. Set the Light to a low value and Dark to a high value (80-ish) and turn on Use sun for Shading.

Yes, I will share it. Right now it’s not in a state to share…right now it’s a train wreck of hidden tags and scenes.

Can I message you with the file in a day or so please.

Yes. You can do that if you want.
