In today’s update, SketchUp 2020.2 , you now have the ability to style model linework by tag in LayOut . Specifically, you can control the weight, color, and pattern of linework in your SketchUp model viewport. We know that controlling the style of linework in LayOut projects is important. (There hav…

[image] benoldays: I’m not getting any Edge Width drop down on my layout file? It’s the first drop down box to the right of Line Scale. A difference in the UI between Mac and Windows. It still works though. [Screenshot - 8_12_2020 , 3_03_06 AM]

My colour control is on another tray. If I click on colour in the new tags control in the model tray it opens the tray that contains colour control if it is closed. I’m on windows

Thx, but I can’t differentiate doors from walls even with 1 for section cut

yes also saw this problem… Following this thread

I can see that problem. Do you use “2D objects” in you SU models? For each window and door I create a 2D representation, group it and tag it “2D Object”. The actual window or door is tagged “3D Object”. In LO you turn off the 3D Object tag and turn on the 2D Object tag…

Thank you for your feedback. I either do 2D plans and for them, no problem getting what I want in terms of line weight. Or I do 3D models, in wich I cut with section cuts, and would like to differentiate bearing walls from partition walls or doors and other elements. In previous version I turned …
