Objects that are hidden directly will have their name appear in italics and in light grey, but the object icon and the eye icon will remain black.Objects appear differently in the Outliner depending on how they are hidden. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could filter the Outliner by other attributes too? Unfortunately, the filter still only works with object names. But I would’ve been happy if they had added the ability to filter the Outliner to only show objects with visible tags. (Previously, if you hid a layer, those objects would disappear from the Outliner). You’ll notice all objects in your model are now shown in the Outliner, even if their tag is hidden. This makes hiding/unhiding objects a bit faster, which is great. You don’t even need to open the target group/component in order to hide it. The Outliner panel has also been updated with a new column to toggle visibility of objects, so you don’t have to Right-click > Hide an object. You can’t control hidden geometry from in LayOut, so you’re forced to do it in SketchUp and save it as a scene. On the other hand, this kind of gives you another reason to continue using scenes to configure your LayOut viewports. Now, you can just hide the objects directly. This will reduce the need to create redundant layers tags for objects just to be able to control their visibility. What a pain that would be! In this new update, SketchUp only remembers the hidden state of nested objects, not nested geometry. Repeat this redundant task over and over.

Then activate your next scene, hide them again, update the scene. If SketchUp remembered the hidden state of geometry in your model, that would mean any time you want to permanently hide some edges, you’d have to hide them then update the scene. I’m glad that nested hidden geometry state isn’t saved in each scene, because imagine if you wanted to hide some edges between a floor and wall so they appear seamless. UPDATE : In the 2020.1 update, the Scenes panel has now separated Top Level Hidden Geometry from Hidden Objects Now that SketchUp distinguishes between hidden geometry and hidden objects, when you save a scene with Hidden Geometry & Objects checked, it will save the visibility state of every single object in your model, even if it’s nested! ( Just like before, hidden geometry only gets saved with top-level geometry.) This was really confusing because, in the Scenes panel, it clearly shows Hidden Geometry can be saved in a scene, but never clarified that it can’t save the visibility state of entities nested inside of a group/component. Previously, scenes could only remember the hidden state of top-level entities. In other words, “The things that appear in the Outliner.” Hidden Objects in Scenes Objects are now officially defined as groups, components, and section planes. But if you want, you can turn on Hidden Objects in order to see hidden groups and components in the model. For example, you can hide edges and faces in your model, and turn off Hidden Geometry so they aren’t shown. Now, you have the ability to toggle hidden objects independently from hidden geometry in the style settings. But I’m not entirely sure I’ll be abandoning scenes altogether… One reason is a major improvement made to how scenes treat hidden geometry and hidden objects. These are some great improvements that will let you create LayOut documents more quickly than before. If you’d like to revert your changes back to the scene’s configuration, you can click the reset button on the property, or for the entire viewport. Now, you can override specific property sets in the SketchUp Model panel, while letting other property sets remain controlled by the scene assigned to the viewport. (Side Note: I suspect the renaming of SketchUp layers to tags coinciding with being able to control tags inside of LayOut was partly an attempt to avoid confusion when trying to differentiate between LayOut layers and SketchUp layers. The entire SketchUp Model panel has been reconfigured in LayOut as well. This is a step in the right direction, reducing your reliance upon creating scenes in SketchUp ahead of time for LayOut. You can now control the visibility of your SketchUp model layers tags from right inside of LayOut! Just select a viewport, then view the SketchUp Model panel in the Default Tray.
