PROBLEM WITH SKETCHUP LAYOUT - latest update

[_kimga]

I am experiencing very unusual behaviour of SketchUp layout, which I haven’t experienced before:

no1 problem: When enlarging a parallel projection the window looses it’s scale even tough “preserve scale” is ticked. The unusual thing about this is that it doesn’t do this consistently…sometimes it keeps the scale, sometimes it changes it.

no2 problem: dimension of the front view and side view is different in the same scale ( the front view is appears to be a different scale, although it is set to the same scale and looks the same scale) . The side elevation matches the model dimensions, whilst the front elevation doesn’t…

Something doesn’t feel right with this update…

Can you post the file?
Regarding dimensions, check that you have autoscale on, or that the dimensions are set to the right scale.

it’s not a bug. it’s a feature that doesn’t work as planned

Scale of drawing lost when resizing window

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. What you are seeing is new behavior in LayOut that we are trying - as of the 2026.2 release - where you are able to continue working on your document while viewport(s) are being rendered. Previously, the application would prevent most operations while a viewport was being rendered. Interestingly, you should still not be able to modify the viewport that is currently rendering, but it seems like you are doing exactly that. For now, it would be wise to w…

Will it be any updates to fix this?

I can not post the content of the file as it’s confidential, but the file is somewhat heavy.

I will try the solution - rescaling it in one direction and wait the window to refresh, before rescaling to the other direction…Thank you

Good call, thank you for bringing attention to this, but I have checked and both are in the right scale , yet different dimension is shown…

Same model, two different parallel projection - they are set to the same scale.. The left one is the right scale. I have deleted and replaced the right elevation using the left elevation video…ir consistently shows (wrongly ) 25’ instead of 19’…

When I’ve seen this happen something is snapping to a point in space or behind the model, and several times in my own work that I inadvertently rotated a parallel scene without realizing, causing me to snap (without paying attention) to the wrong point.

If you want you can DM me a DropBox link and I can take a look.

Similar to OP, I have had several similar viewport resizing issues in Layout 26.2 - dimensions and scale being affected. It certainly feels like a regression in Layout.

There are a bunch of posts about 2026.2 issues. I posted one regarding auto text for a view label not showing scale correctly. I probably put it on the wrong thread, but its out there. What concerns me is no team members are even acknowledging the issues in the many threads. 2026.2 was looking promising but I am back to an older version of Layout once again! We really need a stable version ! Forget new features.
