Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? I geolocated a model, then, in order to have elevations views, I modified the master Axes in SketchUp. For some reason, Layout (and SketchUp too) default views (Front, Back etc) preserve original model Axes. How could I fix this?

In SketchUp the standard views always use the systems axes. New drawing axes have no effect. If you change axes and right click on an axes and select ‘Align View’ in the context menu, green will point up on screen. You can use this feature to create the appropriate scenes for both SketchUpp and LayO…

if you have scenes set-up the axes may only be being saved to that particular scene and revert back to default position on other scenes?

As @Wo3Dan , indicated, the standard views are fix an independent of the model axis orientation. Set upi scenes in your model to show the elevations as appropriate for the geo-located model. If the front of the building faces north, you’ll need to use the standard Back view as your front. You should…

So, creating Scenes is the workaround Ok, thank you all :slight_smile:

[image] marcodileo: So, creating Scenes is the workaround It’s not a workaround. It’s the intended workflow.

[image] DaveR: It’s not a workaround. It’s the intended workflow. :thinking: I’m not so sure about that… If so, what’s the benefit of standard views (buttons) when you geolocate a model?

[image] marcodileo: I’m not so sure about that… There are a number of settings and options available in LayOut for dealing with the SketchUp viewport that can be useful for one off documents but anything you do that makes the scene show as modified disconnects the viewport from the SketchUp s…

@marcodileo , [image] DaveR: If your building faces north and you want to show the front elevation, you’ll need to choose the Back view instead of the Front. And if your building does not face north, then in SketchUp set up the scene according to what is highlighted in my previous post. Selec…

@Wo3Dan @DaveR Yeah guys, and that’s fine, I mean: it works. I’m fine with this steps. But, imagine I have to do a quick sketch and layout-print it: I geolocate a model, align axes and start 3d modeling-sketching. Why should I go trough Scenes when I just need 4 (standard) elevations, that Sketch…

What I found for myself, it could be much easier to save the building/structure component, open it separately - all axes will be as as you set them. And you will get 2 models: geolocated one. With building as a component saved building, with axes as you want them to be. And later it is just coupl…

SketchUp modified Axes don't reflect in Layout

LayOut

You don’t have to, if you manually geo-locate the model.
