It’s now been over an hour after loading my 2023 Layout file with only two pages, just to update the scenes and re-render them. I do not have a slow computer and I’m not inexperienced. I’ve been using Sketchup since the earliest days. Please fix Layout. It is no longer professionally usable.

Hahaha! I have exactly the same workflow! :blush:

You’re right. But have you ever worked with LO when viewports are exploded? It suddenly is the most snappy software in the world. Yihaa! It’s just a quick win for Trimble to implement such an ‘optional’ workflow.

Flattening would totally work for 2d plans, but it would be a problem when a user wants to add dimensions to an isometric or perspective view. (The dimension would show the length of the 2d line, not the correct distance). So the solution would be that 2d ortho plans could be flat and all others a…

One of the last times a fix for improving performance in Layout was implemented it made my own experience Layout worse. I miss not having the rendering of objects and text when moving out resizing, especially text - when moving text I could align the actual text itself more easily when other object…

As if you explode your view. There are plugins inside Sketchup which can make your view flat…try that and import that geometry in LayOut. You will experience snappiness and speeeeeed! :blush:

it can take 20 minutes or more for me to move from vector to raster on a single sheet. I would never send out raster output for final drawings. It’s gotten so bad that I work in raster, then when finished, spend upwards of 3 hours re-rendering each page in hybrid or vector.

What kind of model and presentation in Layout are you working on that it takes up to 3 hours rendering from raster to hybrid for each page !!

I should have been clearer, 20 minutes more or less per page and a set can take 3+ hours. I do exhibit and immersive media theatrical productions. I’ve been a SU user since version 4(?).

That’s pretty much how I do it too
