I am currently using Sketchup and Layout 2015 Pro versions for Windows 7. On my most recent model, I’ve experienced a situation where the shadow settings and layers are not retained from scene to scene. If I update one, it changes those same settings in all of the scenes! It appears to only be problematic with this particular file. The only thing I did different in this model was manually set the Geo-location. I have been using Sketchup for over 9 years and have never encountered anything like this! ---

In the scenes window, verify the desired “save” boxes are checked. Then get each scene the way you want it and update the scene. ---

That was it! I didn’t think to look there as those have always been checked by default. Somehow only the camera location box was checked. Thanks for you help!
