I can change the color of the bounding box(outline) but the hatch inside stays Black and is always black. Say i want Red ,HOW.

back to this topic, i have to be **missing something.** you must be able to change the hatching to a different color, i can do it in SU by making all A Color in styles.

Do you mean a different edge style?  
See ‘Edges \> Color: by material’ after they have been painted.

Need more information. What hatch pattern are you referring to? Is this a material in SketchUp? Share a file that shows what you are trying to change.

You cannot change that in LayOut unless you modify or make your own PNG file.

There is a very recent thread here where @DaveR showed another user how to do it.
