How to print in actual size
-
I'm trying to print something very simple (a rectangle 2 x 4") in its actual size. My units are set to inches, scale is set to Full Size. The dimension tool gives dimensions of 2 x 4", but no matter what I do, the printed object comes out at about 90% of actual size. What is going on? This should be simple!

You did not mention how you are trying to print (export to .pdf/direct to printer) or the size of the sheet. (8.5x11?)
In either case you must make sure the tick box for size is set to actual. (Not fit to page)
And make sure the sheet size including any margins is large enough for full scale printing.
In your case 8.5"x11" is more than adequate for a 2"x4" rectangle.C

Finally found it. I had everything set correctly under the File/Document Setup and File/Page Setup menus, but didn't realize that there are also settings under SketchUp Model in the Tray. Thanks.
