Hi all.. Dave, Dale and everyone else :-)

So todays question is as follow:

I`v made a template in SU with som tags, and when modeling everything is placed in correct tags.

So lets say I`v made 2 seperate modells using this template and I want to make a drawing in LO

Now, I import the model in LO (Scene 1, top view) I turn of all the tags that i dont want to show. and put it in a layer, lets say layer 1
I make a copy and paste it, put it on layer 2. Now I turn off the tag showing in layer one, and turn on another Tag for layer 2

I can do this for 10 layers showing of 1 individual tag in each layer..

It works fine and I save, thinking life with SU and LO is goooood :-)

Now... When reopening that LO file, Going to "document setup" to replace this SU file with the second one, to make a drawing for that file as well, then ghe "ghost in the machine" shows up..

For som reason, one tag that i did not want, now shows up in every layer aditional to the tag that is suppose to be there. I can turn of that tag, save the file and do it all over again, but that perticular tag shows up each and every time..

Either there is something I dont know about LO (and that is more than possible), or there must be gremlins in my machine. Fredo6 thinks I have Gremlins in my computer :-)

Thank you for your time.

Johnny

Do you have the same scene names for both SketchUp models?

Are you putting the tags only on the objects (groups and components) in the SketchUp model?

It would be interesting to see your LayOut files and the SketchUp models.

Nope, the SU models are with different names. Groups and objects are on correct tags alle "geometry" are on layer 0.
There are some "containers" (these are from your Profilebuilder) but they are only containers for geometry, and kept on Layer 0
I`d be more than happy to share LO/SU files, but not public :-)
