After updating to layout 2017 I am having a nightmare with many of my scenes and elevations! I have created full size model in sketch up and created all relevant scenes etc. In previous version of layout, once I have imported the sketchup model onto the page, I could easily select a scene and it w…

Could you share the LO file so we can take a look? Or if you don’t want to share it publicly, you can send it via a private message.

Are your SketchUp scenes set to save the camera position? I don’t quite know which one, but I have encountered a SketchUp template where almost all the “Features to save” checkboxes in the Scenes dialog were unchecked. Anssi

I am having the same problem. Something is messed up with the scene link between Sketchup & Layout. Layout seems to ignore the unchecked ‘camera’ scene setting in Sketchup and changes to it’s own camera view. This makes Layout 2017 unusable until this is fixed which is disappointing because I’m real…

@play404 , as I asked Louisa, can you share the LayOut file so we can see what you’ve got going on?

I haven’t used LO 2017 myself much but I’ve heard other people having problems with it. I think one of the things that have changed from 2016 is how scenes with some properties, e.g. camera location, not saved to them are interpreted by LO. If your workflow consists of first viewing a scene containi…

It appears as though you do now have to check the camera location for every scene in order for layout to recognise the scenes at all. Without the camera location saved it seems to zoom out really far and focus on another area of the sketchup model (this was not the case in the previous version).

If it’s any help, all the scenes I use for transfer to LO have all the checkboxes ticked, which includes the camera location. I have recently upgraded to SU 2017 and for me it works exactly as it always did. In the templates I use, I have some pre-set scenes that I just use for working purposes (a…

Luisa, Be aware that the issue you are seeing is similar to the forum discussion Sketchup 2017 scenes not working as expected in Layout and that we are working on the issue. Cheers CD

[image] play404: Layout seems to ignore the unchecked ‘camera’ scene setting in Sketchup and changes to it’s own camera view I don’t quite understand what you mean… If you uncheck the Camera position checkbox in your SketchUp scene, it will not save the camera position. This means that whene…
