Hatching Problem+Layout opacity question

[designcncarley-com]

I’ve been struggling with two problems:

1. When I set the layers for hatching in the Configurator, the layers that I select do not all show up as selected in the scene for the hatch.  If I manually change the layers (tags) in the scene and re-save it, things seem to work, although sometimes the scene switches back to the wrong tags on its own.
2. Some of my imports from the Scrapbook come through as opaque images, others are transparent, like a png.  I prefer the transparent version.  How to I get it every time?

Any thoughts on either of these questions?

Hatches in sketchup/layout are raster based only and will always have a background when displayed in layout. You can test this by changing the  Only vector based images will have the opaque/clear background and are much slower to load in layout. You can test this by changing your hatch scene from raster to vector or hybrid in the Sketchup Model window

Thanks, Ruben.  That clears it up.
