      Has anyone been able to print form sketchup to banner or rolled paper? I draw a lot of cabinets for a shop that is accustomed to using story poles for cabinet layout. I think it must be possible to select a cross section of a cabinet elevation or better, a layer that contains story pole data, and print it full scale to a roll of paper to create a story pole. The resulting print could be ~2" wide and as long as need be to have full scale cabinet widths.

        I don't see why it would be a problem if you have a printer to handle it. Create a scene showing the section of whatever you need for your story pole. Send the SU file to LayOut, set the paper to the needed dimensions, set the viewport to 1:1, make a PDF and send it to the printer. Easy enough. I regularly make 1:1 patterns for cabinets and other projects as part of plan documents. They are printed on paper that is 36" by 48".
