    Hi! I am new here and new to SketchUp and I've been having some trouble with it...I've tried searching the forums, but I couldn't fin what I was looking for.

    But I am trying to export my model/site plan into a 2D graphic at 1"=10'-0" so I can bring it into Photoshop for post-processing and then plot it onto a 24x36 sheet of paper.

    How can I achieve this? Sorry if this is a super newbie question...I'll take all the help I can get!

      Hi Olivia

      Can you let people know if you have the free or pro version of SU in your info as the Pro version has a page layout package which makes plotting easy.

      You can always ask on this forum and someone may offer to export your drawing to scale for you and as a vector pdf.

      The only way I know to scale from SU free is to put an object of known length in the drawing and then use that to scale in Photoshop or whatever

      windows 7 64b, 4GB RAM, SU 8.0.16846
      Gimp, QGIS, Vectorworks 12, Bricscad 11

          Download the Pro trial of v8 and give LayOut a go 👍

          Download the free D'oh Book for SketchUp 📖

            Love SU but you need to spend $500 to print like a human in the 21st century!
