I find when making windows that it is easier, inside the window component to keep the "raw" edges of the cutting rectangle or shape , then all the other parts of the window are also components. It helps in keeping the window "cutting" and work on the parts of the window later on. At the start this rectangle of edges might be a part of the window pieces, but I separate it out.
Hi hangten1
My steps...
View Top
Camera ->Parallel Projection
Zoom Extents
File -> Print Preview
Try with my settings.
Scale 1:5 will fit on A4 page.
Scale 1:1 will need 995.3mm x 532.8mm page or you can print few views on few pages to get the truss in desired scale.
PS. I have PDF Creator installed to test any printing scale and page format available.

Hallo,
es gibt so viele Unterforen, dass SketchUcation total überfüllt wäre. Deswegen kannst du dich zu bestimmten Benutzergruppen hinzufügen, für die du dich interessierst.
Klicke User Control Panel → User Groups, wähle "Deutsch" und "Join selected" und dann klicke auf "Submit".
You can also try to import files in the DXF format in the free SU version using this plugin: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=22199&hilit=dwg+importer#p186621
And use it the same way you'd use dwg. dxf and dwg are common CAD file formats based on AutoCAD, but often available for exporting from other CAD packages.
hi guys,
thanks for your cool hints and valuable tips !!!
i´ve just visited sdmitch´s blog, and found almost endless list of amazing SU plugins.
well done, congratulations !!! i really like it.
best of luck!
The reason I ask is that I am using randompushpull.rb and wasn't sure if I selected an entire subdivided face including all of the associated edges in that subdivided face that it would make a difference on how the script worked or the resulting elements....but in testing it appears there is no difference.
Hi Valve90210, hi folks.
There are no differences between the Pro and the Free version to do what you want.
Before using unnecessary tools and/or plugins, try using basic tools and learn how to master these.
Click in sequence on the scenes tabs of this SketchUp file for ideas:

If you share your solution, the next one who finds this post will know the solution too...
(e.g. link to the helpful video, image before and after, ...)
Walt, yes there have been a few graphic issue with it lately, but I believe they are due to the development of the new plugin plugin, so they will eventually go away.
