Lines vanishing

I am working on several 2-D elevations and lines are disappearing all across the drawing.

I have checked all axis and have re-oriented everything and have re-drawn

closer to the center axis.

Attached is one of the elevations from the page.

Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong here.

Is this in SKetchUp or in LayOut? Can you share the file so we can see what you’ve got going on? Send it via a PM if you can’t make it public.

Here it is. It is in Sketchup, drawing to export to Layout

Right now I’m suspecting your graphics card. Are you still using SketchUp 2022?

I’m not seeing anything like what you show in your screenshot with SketchUp 2026.

Do you see the same thing in this version of your file?

I fixed incorrect tag usage and purged unused stuff.

I am using Pro 2024.

I don’t think it is my graphic card. It is up to date. I have a very similar drawing for the first floor of this house, and I am having no issues with that one.

Please update your profile.

What happens for you in SketchUp 2026?

Is the geometry spread out over a large area in that file?

Yes, it is spread out. This very frustrating. I think I just need to scrap it and start over.

That has caused graphical issues for other users in older versions of SketchUp and particularly in LayOut. I haven’t seen it in SketchUp or LayOut 2026, though.

Keeping things condensed and close to the origin might help. Maybe you don’t need to start over. Just use the Move tool to move all your 2D drawings closer to the center.

It’s really puzzling to me that you are using a 3D modeling program to do all these 2D drawings. Since you’re planning to go to LayOut why don’t you just start in LayOut?

Thanks for your help. I don’t know how to draw in layout. It is easier for me in Sketchup. maybe one day I will learn.

I have already started re-drawing on a new page and I am having no issues.

You’re welcome.

OK. I wonder why you aren’t making 3D models in SketchUp, then. It would make things much easier, especially when there are changes needed.

Do you mean in a new model? If so, that’s good.

Yes. I have started a new model. All is working fine.
