Hi All,
I’m having a bit of a nightmare. I’ve carried on working on a drawing in sketchup (above). When linking with the layout file I kept getting crashes and problems. I now can save the layout file without it flagging the issue in the picture? All the layout frames have the yellow warning triangle in the bottom corner. I’m trying to relink the layout file to the sketchup file manually but this doesnt seem to do anything to help.
The update for sketchup recently didnt seem to take either and kept propting me to update every time I went to use sketchup. Is it a problem with creating some geometry in an earlier version??
like the message says, try without punctuation marks. come softwares don’t like them and layout is actually quite old in its core, it might not like the :
see if renaming the folder DOORS and WINDOWS fixes it.
The yellow triangle means that what you see in layout isn’t the lastest version of the sketchup file. le viewports need to be updated (right click on it and update the model reference)
Its really annoying just wasted another half hour creating another document from scratch. Every time I try to reset the layout document to update it it crashes.
Right click on one of the viewports and choose Open with SketchUp. Then use File>Save as… to save the SketchUp file into an appropriately named folder. After that, go into LayOut and File>Document Setup>References. Select the SketchUp file and choose Relink. navigate to where you just saved the model file, select it, and choose Open. You should be all set after that.
Thanks for the reply. I’m not saving this with any punctuation marks etc, it keeps throwing that message at me even though I’m trying to save it as DOORS.
When I try to update the file keeps crashing and I have to then use the ‘recovered’ file which is where it stops me saving it under another name. Sorry a bit confusing…
Nah. Just go through your folders and remove colons and other punctuation before they cause you more problems. And update your forum profile before you go.
