Can the layer structure in LO inherit/ absorb that created in SU? It would be great if each layer could be set to vector/ raster/ hybrid rather than as a global setting and also having each layer with its own visibility would help in creating drawing views

[image] PHensey: Importing a scene I have to choose raster/ hybrid or vector. If any scene has plants or highly detailed elements it has to be raster as the other options can take AGES to render in and then the pain is repeated eveytime I nudge/ resize/ update the scene or viewport. Switching to…

Thanks for the explanation. Their usefulness is clear and missed in layout

[image] DanRathbun: P.S. - SketchUp layers are not geometric collections, so “similar elements on their own layers” does not really apply. Any element, in any geometric context, can be set to “have SketchUp’s renderer use” any layer’s properties for the element’s display behavior. (This can lead…

Even so, Layers are there and so is Layout which is something like CAD’s paperspace. Controlling what you see in Layout depends on Layers and it seems it will remain like that for long, even if other things like Tags or labels will come too. So, manipulating Sketchup Layers from Layout and being ab…

[image] JQL: So, manipulating Sketchup Layers from Layout and being able to export that to CAD, has it’s been showed here, is a very valid feature request. I have not been suggesting we manipulate sketchup layers from layout as in physically interact or modify the model in any way, and I dont…

You don’t as such; load it to a sharing site and post a link here.

You’re right it’s not manipulating as in affecting model directly. It’s manipulating of/how we see SketchUp layers in Layout.

You’re meaning as overrides for LayOut only? When you open the model back in SketchUp everything is as it was without the “in LayOut tweakings”?

Yes, that’s what I mean. The bidirectional interaction adds a level of complexity that I don’t know if it’s welcome. I just need a simple visibility toggle for Sketchup Layers and that they get exported to CAD. It would be cool that we could style layers too, but that wouldn’t be the highest prior…
