I’m experiencing this strange and serious issue with LayOut. I have a file that, when I update the model, or even re-link it the SketchUp model with the exact same model being used in the viewport, it makes everything Jump to a different location, which as you can imagine, screws up all of my notes and dimensions and clipping masks. This has happened with multiple LayOut files, and each time, what can be seen in the viewport is the same area of the model, meaning, it seems to keep jumping back to the same spot.
I have no idea what this could be. I’ve troubleshooted all of the axis to make sure nothing in the model was moved (even though I debunked this by opening the skp model from the viewport, saving it on my desktop and re-linking that exact file to the viewport, still same issue…).
If you are using the 2020 version, you should not experience the issue that is affecting the 2023 version. If your profile is correct please upload the model so someone can figure out the root cause.
Have you heard if there has been any update on this?
Ive had issues with this alot recently and today I spent three times longer on a project having to constantly reset all dimension lines and annotations.
Ill try 2022 tomorrow as I think this worked fine…
Exactly what I came looking for - This has been happening to me in the current version, but did not ever happen before when I set my scenese up beforehand in SketchUp.
I just created a sheet with 9 options for a front entry of a building (all in same model on different tags). Labeled each of the views. Noticed I missed painting 1 piece of trim (was a glaring error) and reloaded the model. All viewports shrank back to original screen aspect. I had zoomed in on the first one and locked the scale before making copies. Had to move all the labels.
I haven’t set zoom and angle in a SketchUp viewport in years. I’m specifically talking about perspective views that are set by scenes. I will expand the viewport to get the portion of perspective I want to fill a certain amount of paper size, lock the scale, then bring the corners back in to crop the perspective.
When I reload the model (and sometimes when I just reopen the file) the model reverts back to full perspective but shrunk to my smaller corners, ignoring the scale lock. It even happens when the layer I use is locked.
