      I dawned on me that I could use styles to help with picking a view.

      What I've done here is to create a PNG that is A3 in size/proportion with a 20mm boarder. I've divided it vertically and horizontally into 3rds (rule of 3rds) and popped in a couple of diagonal lines.

      The style is the default SU settings with the image as a watermark over the model space.

      My intention is to use it to pick/setup the view then switch to another style before saving the view.

      I've attached both A3 landscape and A3 portrait.

      English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark allies, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

        It sounds innovative- is this to allow you to export images to scale at specific paper formats or is it to allow easier/better artistic composition of images?

            Ahh... I just rely on "if it looks right it is right" method.... for better or worse!

                Hi Paul, just wondering how you did this....?
                Was it just a vector file that was saved as .png?

                Thanks in advance....
                Andrew

                  This is interesting Paul, could it be used as a sort of scale paperspace?

                    This is genius! And greatly helps me with similar I am experimenting with . . I am convinced that 'Layout' can be acheived within Sketchup itself . . .
