Ok, last night, i was able to save my entertainment center i made in SU. Then in LO go to file insert and select the entertainment center i made. I then prepared all my scenes, views, etc, like i hae been shown. i saved it, exported to pdf and all is well.
for thelast hour or so, i can not insert ANY SU file into LO for some reason, it just fails and fails. I even tried inserting my entertainment center again and it fails.
i have tried with local files, onedrive files, and still no go. I have tried to use the send to layout option with in SU and it loads a blank page. Tried to copy a component from SU and paste it into LO, an that didnt work either.
i re-saved them to a local drive and exact same error. I even tried ones that were created last month and saved locally. It was working great last night then today, its not liking me haha.
luckily i have a copy of LO and SU on my laptop, but my PC is the main one for drawing haha.
LO asks me to pick a paper size and then opens a blank page. I try drag and drop, same “failed to load” error, i tried a copy and paste from SU to LO, no go.
Don’t do either of these things. That results in a reference link to a temporary location instead of the correct location.
Do you remember if you installed SketchUp and LayOut correctly by right clicking on the installer and selecting Run as administrator? It wouldn’t hurt to try that again (make sure you quit out of SketchUp and LayOut first) and then, for good measure, apply the “Windows fix.” Shut the computer down completely and do a cold reboot.
ok, figured it out. I am indeed running 2018, BUT, what had happened, when the program was not responding, for some reason, windows took off my 2018 LO icon and replaced it with the 2017 icon, which i had no clue it did that. i only had the one icon on my desktop and it was always the 2018 version until last night, windows 10 decided to not respond and for somereason, replaced it with the old one haha.
