Edit SketchUp model in LayOut

Modified on Wed, 13 Nov at 3:14 PM

When you change the view and rendering option of your SketchUp model in your LayOut file, you cannot make changes to e.g. the geometry. But you can do it very easily in SketchUp from LayOut:


1. Right click on the embedded model

2. Click Open with SketchUp

3. The model will open in SketchUp, allowing you to make your changes

4. When you are done, click File > Save in SketchUp


If you have made changes to your SketchUp model after placing it in LayOut, these changes will not be automatically reflected in LayOut. To make these changes manually, follow these steps:


1. Open the LayOut document and select File > Document Setup

2. Click on References in the left section

3. In the right section you can select the SketchUp file. Status will then be shown as Out of Date

4. Click Update

5. Click Close when you are done
