Weird anomalies appearing when Layout exports to PDF

Hi all, we have some known issues relating to the way our hidden line renderer can display some extra lines or fills in the case of section cuts. Over the past few releases we have made an attempt to capture all of them but just as with any fix we cannot get all cases. In some cases we have not been able to fix adjusting the Viewport window (or even adding a clipping mask to it) can sometimes make the extra lines go away.

In your case Sim, I am able to get the anomalies to go away by just doing the following.

  1. Select the SketchUp model view
  2. From the SketchUp Model inspector check on Preserve Scale on Resize

I have verified this fixes this for both Windows and Mac - exporting to PDF looks good as well.

@awburgess and @bfunkhouser0 try the above and see if that helps in your case, if not drag an edge of the viewport in or out and see if that helps.
Please feel free to post or PM me your file as well.
