Do you want the background color at all? You could untick the Background box in the Styles section of the SketchUp Model panel window.
Generally if I do export from LayOut for images I add the background color or a background image in the image editor.
This is an image export from LayOut, color added in the image editor.
Same idea with a background image instead of just a color.
Thank you Dave, no I don’t really want the background.
This reveals it is a face issue? The style is hidden line, faces are #ffffff anyway.
I am at an absolute loss.
What color do you want the faces? The Hidden Line style doesn’t really show faces but it picks up the color from the Background color in the style.
I don’t want the faces a colour at all, hence hidden lines and background being pure white.
I just want pure white. It’s worked on the shadows page but not on this. When I go and multiply this layer over in Photoshop I end up with a slight yellow because of it.
Are you certain the background color for that style is set to white? RGB 255,255,255.
Looking at the background color in the model you shared shows it should be slightly yellow.
That is weird, in my file I have it set to pure white
I keep resaving, refreshing the model connection, re rendering and getting what must be that 255,255,251.
Does the Styles panel show that the style has been overridden for the viewport? Is there a Reset button in the Style section? If so, click on it to allow the viewport to update to match the SketchUp model.
Thank you so so so much!
Thanks for your patience with me and my first venture into LayOut too. Appreciate it alot mate.
Happy to help.
Don’t take this the wrong way but I expect your experience with LO would have been better if you’d started with a simpler file to make things easier to work with.
Yeah probably would’ve been for sure. I just jumped in expecting it to be a simple case of putting an image into LayOut and adjusting the frame of the viewport, panning around like you would in AutoCad or something.
User error 100% but I’ve just found it to be clunky and unintuitive. Can’t expect it to work like AutoCad or anything since you’re linking between programmes but wow, it’s been a learning curve compared to modelling!
Update if anyone else ends up finding this thread for similar issues:
For some reason, I now have to have separate scenes for each style. If I don’t, regardless, the colour is changing in the viewport and there is no option to reset.
