Hi Imabzeous, hi folks.

If you size you image to its exact size, you can print it to scale if you follow the procedure:

1 - Use any standard view (Face, Top, Rigth, etc).

2 - Use parallel projection (no perspective).

Just ideas.

I presume its plans and elevations in .jpeg that you want to print?

The post of Jean Lemir is correct, you have to be in parrallel view or standard view.

But if you whant it for architectural purpose, I think pdf is realy good : scalable vector, but no texture...

@mike

yes they are jpegs of plans and elevations

If you have the pro version consider using Layout. Then you can add a border, and put multiple views on the same sheet. Then no reason to use another application to do this work. Better workflow when you print many revisions of a presentation.

I assume ps means photoshop. Here's a method:

1. frame your model in SU with a line only rectangle of some known size (in feet) -- bigger than the model extents.
2. Render with the frame turned on (you can render exact same view with it off if it's on a layer)
3. In PS, measure how many pixels accross on the rectangle -- you will know how many pixels equals the distance
4. In PS crop to the rectangle lines
5. In PS use print with preview (after figuring out how many pixels wide to match the scale you want -- simple math)
