      Hi,

      I am a 2015 Pro user, and am trying to create some full color construction docs that include perspectives. When I set everything up in Layout it looks great on the screen, but when it is printed the images are way too dark. I have messed with shadows, but still can not get a bright enough paper image to be useful.

      Thoughts?

      Btw I am exporting to PDF from Layout

      Thanks

      Matt

        Have you looked at the SketchUp model and the LO project on a different screen? It could be the screen you're working on is set such that it is skewing the way things making them appear brighter than they really are.

        Without seeing what you're seeing, it's difficult to tell for sure.
