LayOut's New Graphics Engine

LayOut’s New Graphics Engine

LayOut’s new graphics engine will be off by default but can be enabled by in the Performance section of Preferences. 

This option is available now, allowing you to compare the new vs the old in real time without the need to restart LayOut. 

When using the New Experimental Graphics Engine, please let us know in the SketchUp Community forums if you experience areas of mismatch in your LayOut pages. Of course, we would like to hear if you are encountering noticeable speed gains as well!
