Just started using Layout 2020 three weeks ago. Set up a new project in it and was testing using one scene in Sketchup to produce a battery of drawings in Layout. It worked really well and I published a test set of drawings last week for my client. Was asked to try another design option and after completing that in Sketchup, I went back into the Layout file to update everything and now there is no control of the layers in each drawing. All the layers are there, layer control works (eyeball turns off and on), but there is no change in the actual drawing/scene.
I have saved and updated a few times to make sure that was correct. Tried closing both programs and restarting them. Nothing. Not seeing the problem. Any thoughts?
Looked a bit deeper at this. I went to that same drawing on the first page and I went into the group and tried exactly what you are doing and it works.
So go to page A.8 and try any one of those viewports and see what happens. Turning tag visibility on and off in those doesn’t work for me.
And actually…it looks like the only one that I see that is letting tag visibility work is the one you used, The main floor plan.
It should reset the tag visibility to match that of the original scene.In the viewport I was experimenting with–the lower right one–it didn’t make any apparent difference. I guess if I were setting those up, I would have made scenes in SketchUp to match those views instead of modifying the camera position in the viewport but that’s just me.
That did it. Reset any of them on any page resets the invisibility feature.
I’m with you…I have been setting up specific scenes in Layout for quite a while now. Was just testing to see how this worked. I guess I know now. Thanks Dave!
I lean heavily on Layouts tag control so have a fair bit of experience with this, and it does get jammed up on rare occasions. Once in a while I loose tag control and have to do a reset. Reset always make the viewport behave again. I cannot pinpoint the conditions that cause this lockup, just that it happens once in a blue moon to me and that reset fixes.
