Export to layout

[[email protected]]

Hi.

I just downloaded the trial and am using it to make a real bathroom project.

I have done the model in sketchup and set everything up for the condoc system (level, location, condition). Now I´m trying to move to layout. When I export the drawings (one plan, two sections and four perspectives) it takes a very, very long time. Something like 15 minutes. When I want to change something, chenge the scale or add a drawing it seems to me I need to re-export all the drawings. Is there something I’m missing?

The exported drawing is nothing more than the sum of the scenes created in the plan generator stacked into one drawing that you can then drag into layout. We used to do this manually. Layout automates it for us. If all your scenes are created and the drawing has been exported and inserted into layout the only thing you need to do to update is to update the appropriate scenes in Sketchup, save and then update the referenced model in Layout. Hope that helps.
