Sketchup layout 20188/18/2023 ![]() Easy fix (workaround), but honestly, not satisfactory in view of potentially grainy output if the end user tries to scale it up.įor what it’s worth, I saved a backwardly compatible copy as 2016 Layout, and got the same results. So now I know: a mild mannered model in Hybrid with markup in Layout can cause it to return an error exporting PDF. On a hunch, I tried changing render mode of my floorplan (with wiring done in dashed lines via Layout 2018) from Hybrid to just Raster. Here’s what fixed it: I went sheet by sheet, and found the offending sheet. Removed and purged any 2016 version scrapbook items to check for that being an issue. So, I copied the elements page by page to a new file as standard procedure to debug a corrupted layout file. Thought it was corrupted file or bad link as this was the only model and layout producing this error. I just encountered an error exporting to PDF on a floorplan design. The laptop that it all works great on is Dell 5510 same 2018 upgrade same files The issue has to be in this pc and a conflict somewhere can anyone help or give direction to a link that is similar, I have followed a few but no real answers… I dont want to have to use the laptop as the main computer but looks like I may have to… ![]() Then I also find out that converting files from LO 2018 to earlier LO versions is causing intermittent bug splats, Some earlier imported LO files are bringing in the yellow triangles into LO 2018 likes of which I have not seen for years… Using the exact same LO file on another pc / laptop and there is no problem, even on 32bit XP ( if you convert back to 2014 file). I have changed pdf readers to Abobe just in case the fall version of Win 10 Edge may have caused the issue but as it works on the laptop then thats not it. Install had same prebootstrapper issue (so same work round used) - 2018 loads well now, all good until exporting pdf’s after a couple of weeks with the usual message “There was a problem exporting to this file.” What triggered it I do not know, but its affected all the sketchup versions on that pc (versions 7 ) if you open any of them and try and make a pdf. All was good with Skp 2017 including layout until the 2018 upgrade… ![]() The main office PC refused to load 2017 with the prebootstrapper issue, I got round that by removing the setup file and installing directly the *SketchUp2017-圆4.msi file with admin rights etc. However later versions are becoming more complex for good reason but installing and migrating upwards has its problems, here is mine… I am not new to SketchUp or Layout, having started long ago on skp v3.0 when many people refrained from using it. ![]()
