      I've been playing around with Sketchup for about a week now and am starting to get the hang of it. Being a long-time Photoshop and Illustrator user has me struggling at times. I have been trying to print and can't get it to do what I want.

      1. I want my drawing to completely fill one piece of paper. I've played around with a bunch of settings and can't get this figured out.

      2. I want to remove the blue background.

      Any help would be appreciated.

        Hi,

        1. I guess if you tick the "Fit tu page" box at the "Print size" section in the print dialogue, it will scale your output to fill a sheet of paper.

        2. You can remove any backgroun in the Style dialogue box (open it from the Window menu) go to "In model" (the little house icon), Edit tab > background settings.

        Gai...

          another tip is to 'zoom extents' this will zoom you in so that the model entirely fills your screen. You can zoom extents by pressing ctrl+shift+e, or its also in the camera menu (might be somewhere else, havent got SU on the machine im using at the moment 😛 )

          ps getting the model to fill your screen is useful because SU prints what your seeing on the screen.
