SU Layout - How to set a custom Scale?

[HornOxx]

Hi All - I hope someone could give me any advice

For some reason a client wants me to do a layout in the scale of 1:87 which is a "Toy-Railroad" scale (which is also called H0 here) - for sure he wants to cut out his building in order to put it into his train model landscape.
I know, that I can edit any custom scale in Layout but I can´t figure out how and what I need to do in this window - although this question is probably already answered a 100 times here, I hope someone here could help me please ...

Change the number in Model to 87. Paper is already set correctly and Scale Text will take care of itself. Then click on Add Custom Scale.

AUA !!! so simple ?!?

thanks a lot for your fast help!

You're quite welcome.

Some years ago I drew a freight house building with the intent of cutting it out and folding it to make a structure for my son's N-scale layout. Instead of setting a scale in LO, I just scaled the SU model to the right size before I unfolded the model and then set the viewports to 1:1. Different paths to the same end. I was looking for the images of it but I'm not finding them.

Found them. These buildings were actually drawn by someone else and posted in the Warehouse.

I initially made this to show someone else who was looking for card stock models of buildings. I didn't add any tabs but they'd be easily inserted.
