      I often model items (sculpture, furniture) in SU and print from LO, full size if possible. I print on 3' x 4' sheets, as that is the largest digital copy I can make at the local copy shop.

      When I work with 36" w x 48" h paper I cannot shrink the image of the sheet small enough to see the whole thing at once. This makes it very difficult to lay out a page nicely, and quite inconvenient to adjust the different images on the sheet.

      Could you change the limits on LayOut to allow more zooming?

      Thanks,

      Jim

        ANOTHER PROBLEM IS the limitation on zooming in, its hard to edit line when not zoomed in for a wide view ,

          i wish l.o hav more zoom:)
          and scheduling of line weights, like ,clicking on all the lines first that you want to change heirarchy and then with the right click mouse function to choose the line weights which is scheduled in a layer, just right clicking to choose lineweights, i just think it would be a faster move than draging mouse to the shape style tab and choosing line weights there, thank you.

            Yes yes - unlimited zoom PLEASE and better snapping in non vector'd views.

              This may be a dumb question, and I do not use Layout, but is the zoom in Layout any different than in Sketchup?

              I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.

                Yup - the amount of zoom is restricted in Layout. Try it out!

                  Then I would ask the developers: What is it in C++, OpenGL, and whatever else is going on behind the curtains that makes this application any different than the other? I just thought Layout was a special case of Sketchup.

                    Its the drafting application for producing drawings of sketchup models.

                      Yes, I understand that. But you all asked for unlimited zoom, and I am asking what makes that impossible, or difficult to implement in Layout.

                        Its a restriction in the program its self - bit hard to explain if you haven't used layout. On SU you can zoom to infinity (an beyond I guess) but in layout the zoom stops so you cant get any closer to what you are looking at. The amount of zooming you can do is restricted so its impossible because the application wont allow you to zoom any futher. Easier if you actually have a look at Layout and will see what people are talking about.

                          that discussion should be just enough for the sketchup developers, if only they can hear us. more zoom for layout, more power to the sketchup developer

                            line scheduling, color dependency, and so l.o can move faster on handling huge file or project, and the vectorizing of lines, from raster to vector, sometimes l.o find it hard to do it, vectorizing huge amount of lines, thats another problem, layout is very good, but it has some hardtimes when encountering biger files

                                it the only thing that L.O needed. more zoom. l.o can only zoom at 1000% . and when you happen to be working on a scale 1:200 in metric . it goes hard to edit vector lines which is very important in architectural drafting line heirarchy. it'll be great once l.o have this kind of improvements,
