Rotate is "transparent", any ways to change that?

Hi.

Pls see pic. When rotating in Layout the object becomes transparent. Is there any way to change that, sometimes we need to rotate things where we need to see the object better while rotating.

You probably have two elements, and you’re rotating the rectangle just with outlines. If you don’t need two elements delete the filled one and on styles tray check the fill color of the rectangle.

If I understand you correctly, this is because some years ago the SketchUp team relented to the howls of people who insisted on having bloated SketchUp models which then created the predictable performance issues in Layout.

These people were vocal about how bad Layout was!

In an attempt to improve performance the developers decided to remove “real-time” visualisation of the manipulated object by representing it solely with the bounding box.

My particular annoyance is that you cannot see the actual text when moving the text box.

When the new draft mode and experimental engine in Layout was introduced, I lobbied for the “real-time” visualisation to be reinstated behaviour.
