Change the scale of what? The dimensions shown with the Dimension tool when adding dimensions in Paper Space? If so, you can set the scale in the Dimensions window.

When you are drawing in LO, the lengths of lines and such will always be given as paper space dimensions. You can change the units in Edit>Preferences but there is no scale to set.

for the embedded SketchUp model and in a non-perspective view only under “Window > SketchUp Model > View > Ortho > …”:

Those dimension scales only impact scale settings for SketchUp model viewports.

You should draw the layout in SketchUp and create a scene with the camera set to Parallel Projection. Save the file and send it to LayOut. Then you can set the viewport to your desired scale.

By the way, you might want to go to the SketchUp Community Forum and edit your previous post. It appears to have all your contact info from your e-mail.
