Printing off finshed product with scale value??
-
Hey everyone..
im using sketchup, as im designing a bed that i am half way though buliding as a year 12 school project..
So what i was wondering was, can you print off a orthogonal drawing of the item that i have made in sketchup?? with a correct value of the scale??
thanks for the help, Ash

Hi Ash and welcome.
In order to print to scale, you need to make two settings;
- turn your camera into Parallel projection (Camera menu)
- then use one of the Standard views (Camera menu again - or if you need it more often, activate its toolbar from the View > Toolbars menu)
Now go to the Print area and follow the suggestions given here, in the SU Guide and scroll down to the Print size header.
Don't get mislead by the
symbol as that info has been obsolete for almost 3 years and scaled printing is also available in the Free version (I guess you don't use SU Pro).
